About the host
Hosted by jonathan
II'm Jonathan — a firefighter from New Jersey and the owner of this home. I bought this property in Fort Lauderdale because I wanted to build the kind of place I'd want to bring my own family on vacation. Every decision — the heated saltwater pool, the chef's kitchen, the neighborhood — was made with that standard in mind. I've hosted hundreds of guests and earned a perfect 10/10 rating across 49 verified reviews. Cleanliness, communication, and accuracy aren't things I hope for — they're what I guarantee. I'm always available if you need anything, but I also respect your privacy. This is your home for the week.
Why they chose this property
I wanted a home close to the beach, in a quiet neighborhood, with real privacy — and Middle River Terrace checked every box. You're five minutes from Las Olas, ten minutes from the beach, and four minutes from the Galleria — but the street itself is quiet, residential, and walkable. The backyard is completely private, surrounded by tall palms and tropical landscaping. Great restaurants, family activities, nightlife — it's all minutes away. But honestly, most guests spend half their trip in the backyard and never want to leave.
What makes this property unique
Jonathan's House was designed around one idea: what would I want if I were the guest? Every detail exists because I've stayed at dozens of rentals and experienced what most hosts get wrong. The heated saltwater pool is your private backyard resort — surrounded by tropical landscaping, palm trees, and total privacy. The chef's kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'd actually need to cook a real meal, not just a microwave and a dull knife. There's a spa bathroom with a jetted tub and bidet, a dedicated workspace, a brand new pullout queen sofa for extra guests, and an outdoor play area for kids. Quality linens, towels, coffee, toiletries — the things that shouldn't feel like an afterthought but usually do. Three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, sleeps eight comfortably. What you see in the photos and description is exactly what you get. No surprises, no fine print — just a home that's genuinely ready for you.
