About this property

#25 Relax in the Pool, Minutes from the Beach & Dining

Safety and cleanliness have always been our first priority. Today, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, we are proud to let you know that our house are fully disinfected before check-in. We stand firm with our commitment for your health, safety and comfort so you can fully enjoy your stay with us. Likewise, the use of masks is requered in the shared areas of the property. Keep in mind that your safety is our priority!

Beaching, Fishing, Soaking Up The Sun & The Culture - it's what FTL is all about! Totally renovated 1B/1Ba apartment in friendly complex with pool! Convenient to FTL Beach, Las Olas Blvd shopping and dining, Canyon for surprise flavored margs and lively happy hour, the car museum, meetup points for gondola tours - most activities are just a 10-15 minute drive, and there are walkable groceries, eating and drinking. Ground floor apartment w/ King bedroom, double sofa bed, FREE parking for 1 car, if you would need more space, contact the owner, equipped kitchen, modern decor!

About Your Space:
Our apartment complex has several small buildings in traditional Florida style, all completely renovated spring 2019. Apartment 25 is located on the ground floor of a two story building, and the pool is steps from the door! The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking, and sleeping spaces include a king bed in the bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room. A full bathroom, luxurious linens and simple, modern luxury decor round out the perfect home base for a South Florida vacation filled with relaxation and good times.

Your Availability:
“I’m a hands-on host in terms of being there for my guests when needed, but you can come and go without us ever meeting! (After booking, you’ll receive an unlock code for the Smart Lock and welcome instructions.) My co-hosts help me make sure my guests have everything they need. I love hosting, and hope you’ll take good care of my apartment. Should any problems arise, I hope you’ll let me know so I can take care of it promptly.”

Your Neighborhood:
Our neighborhood is convenient to the beach (10-15 minutes by car) and tons of restaurants, bars, grocery stores, activities and museums - it’s hard to find a more centrally located vacation spot in Fort Lauderdale!

Getting Around:
It’s helpful to have a car in Fort Lauderdale, but not necessary. It’s a 5-20 minute drive to almost everything you’ll want to see and do in the area. If you’re using Uber, it’s a little under $10 to the beach. It’s roughly a 20 minute drive to the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood Airport, and 45 minutes to an hour to Miami International Airport.

Disappointed
I need to start with, I dont normally write reviews and hate reading reviews where little things are pointed out that are not a big deal or wont affect the trip. But in this case, I needed to point out some things that bothered both me and my wife. I know it appears like I am contradicting myself with a few of the high star ratings but you will understand when i'm done First the positive: -The property is everything that is shown in the pics. It looks exactly the way it did online. -The check in with codes and communication was good with the property owner. Second the negative -The property as a whole is not vacation friendly -The people working at the unit everyday are not friendly and to make it worse they just stare at you like you are trespassing. There was never a "hello", may i help you, is there anything you need. Just the weird stare down. like you look away first -Big brother is watching, which creeped my wife out and made her feel they were watching all the time (ex. My wife was smoking outside by the pool. Next day I get email telling me how it is against rules and she needs to go outside the gate. I said I would take her out next time but she did that cause there are numerous aggressive homeless people right outside the gate and she was scared. They replied thank you for taking care of that but never adressed the danger outside) -The encampment of fighting loud aggressive homless people right outside the gate. This was such a concern we left nothing important in the car at night -The pool is not maintained because eveyday it rained, like it does in florida, the level kept getting higher and higher. This tells me it is not running because there is no circulation of the water plus no chlorine, which tranlates to a clear but dirty pool. We never used it, like normal people do on vacation because BIG Brother is watching (creepy) -If you do go to the pool or beach, Anything wet in the unit will stay wet all week. Nothing drys including bath towels, which they are in serious need of a dehumidifier because with the window units, it begins to smell moldy -It got to the point that we just staed out all day and basically just slept there and left early in the morning again. -And bring beach towels and beach chairs because non of that is there as listed. Listen, take this review any way you want. If your young and just need somewhere to rest your head its great but if your older and need relaxation this is not the place for you.

Worst Stay Ever.
We had a small group staying at this property. Not only did we show up to a place that was unclean, filthy, and a danger to our health, but the property manager would not communicate with us during our stay. Every single plate had old food on it, and we even found mold on the counters. The bathroom counters had a slimy substance all over them, and it was very clear the property was not sanitized or cleaned properly prior to our stay. Additionally, the bed sheets had stains covering them, and there was small ants all over the bedroom. After our second day, we woke up with bumps all over our legs. Clearly a sign of bed bugs. We tried to contact the property manager 5 times during our stay, using the phone number he provided to us, and he refused to answer our calls. Instead, he repeatedly sent us a fine over VRBO text for “being loud” and “partying.” While we did apologize for the noise we caused one night, the host refused to take our phone call and charged us a $200 fine. There is no where in the listing rules that states “loud noise” will be a $200 fine. Upon leaving the property, we cleaned everything deeply and the place looked better than when we got there. Shortly after, we got a text from the host saying “You broke sofá, charging you for new one.” The host tried to say that the sofa would no longer pull out, and that it was checked prior to our stay and after our stay it was broke. FIRST- WE DID NOT EVEN SLEEP ON THE SOFA, nor did we once pull it out. Not once was the sofa ever slept on. Second- if they really check everything prior to arrival as they said they did, how come the place was a disaster when we arrived? How can you explain the mold all over the kitchen and the dirty sheets? Or the slimy gunk all over the bedroom? Clearly, the host is a scammer and tries to get money out of individuals who stay at his property. It was honestly very sad that we had such a horrible stay. Do not book from this place whatsoever.
