Words cannot explain how amazing the property, house and hosts are. We were blown away by the beauty, character, cleanliness and attention to detail from the moment we pulled into the tropical driveway until the last moment leaving, looking back into the house as we hesitantly closed the door. I believe a vacation is made memorable by the destination and the friends and family with you. I also believe it is the house that makes it magic, and the hosts that make it feel like home away from home. Rolf and Ingrid are lovely to communicate with and I can't thank them enough for telling me the story of the house when I asked. Everything about this house is impressive.We will return as soon as possible.Overall an outstanding place and experience.My family and I highly recommend!Truly STUNNING!

Paradise Awaits!

This home was absolutely paradise! Conveniently located to everything you could possibly want to do. It was extremely spacious for our family of 7. The backyard was a tropical delight with pool, spa and outdoor entertainment/bar area. Beach and restaurants were minutes away and easy to get to. The host, Rolf, was extremely easy to communicate with and made sure our stay was top notch. We will definitely book again!

I cannot praise this home enough. Rolf was a great host-showing us where everything was and checking in to make sure we were okay. He went above and beyond. The home itself has a cool layout and funky vibe and it’s huuuuuge, even for our group of 9. Overall everything was super clean and the pool area was pristine. We spent most of our time in or by the pool and hot tub. The boys played putt-putt and utilized the “men’s room” containing the pool table every day. Plenty to do inside and out. We loved our stay here! Will definitely be recommending this home to our other family members and may even come back next year!

The property was exactly as we expected and the hosts were even better: very responsive and eager to ensure we enjoyed our time in South Florida. The noise from the construction projects next door were the only negative the whole week.

Perfect Staycation!

We needed more space with family coming to town and made the right choice with this rental!! The house was immaculately clean and had plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The beautiful saltwater pool with a soothing waterfall was a highlight. The owner was very attentive and made sure we knew he would help if we needed absolutely anything! We will definitely rent again.

About the host

Hosted by Rolf Kraus

Host profile image
My name is Rolf and I am the owner of this property. I was born in Germany, but have lived in Florida for over 30 yrs. My family and I lived in this home for many years and my son grew up here. I strive to be a good host and my goal is to ensure guests feel at home on the property and enjoy the many amenities, especially in the back yard as I have had a hand in building most of it.

What makes this property unique

How many properties have a 5-hole putting green? It's been a wonderful addition and has proven to be a lot of fun for golfers and non-golfers alike!
