Fort Lauderdale Vacation paradise Get - Away

Drive east on Las Olas from downtown, toward the beach, and it’s hard to decide where to focus your attention. There are the rows of stately palms; the canals, straight as arrows in each direction; the homes, full of columns and grand entrances; and then the yachts. Everywhere are white and turquoise and blue ships, full of sun decks and bay windows to state rooms and curving hulls reflecting the water. This view is why many of Fort Lauderdale’s celebrities live in Las Olas Isles and neighboring Seven Isles. Or maybe it’s the water, says realtor Susan Rindley. “It’s known for its yachting. You’re in a great location to get out to the ocean and also right in the middle of everything,” she says. Las Olas is our Rodeo Drive, Rindley says, and it’s the heart of the isles, which is just a short golf cart ride to Rocco’s Tacos or the Floridian. There’s also Chima, right in the center, where Las Olas Isles residents meet under the banyan tree in the courtyard. Out over the bridge is the craziness of the beach, but here are all the reasons people move to this city. Says Rindley: “It’s really the perfect lifestyle for South Florida.”

Best of all the house features 24 hour monitored gate and security patrol, rests off of Los Olas Drive with its hundreds of restaurants, pubs and bars and vibrant galleries. The house is a short one half miles from the sparkling blue Atlantic Ocean with its pristine beaches.
