Walk down to the floating dock and take out the paddleboard, single kayak, or three-person kayak. Life jackets are provided for all ages. There is an outdoor shower for rinsing off, a gas BBQ grill, alfresco dining, and a shaded meditation garden with a small waterfall and lush landscaping that draws butterflies. Sunsets over the water are the nightly show.

About the host

Hosted by Dolly Duran

Host profile image
I'm originally from the Dominican Republic but have called South Florida home for most of my life. Hospitality runs in my family and I've been hosting friends, family, and now guests from all over the world for years. I genuinely love creating beautiful, welcoming spaces that feel like home. Hosting gives me a chance to meet new people, share local gems, and offer the kind of stay I would want for myself. A place that is clean, beautiful, and relaxing.

Why they chose this property

It's a hidden gem! It has the charm of a residential neighborhood with the convenience of being a short drive from the beach, Las Olas, and Wilton Manors. I love the laid-back energy, the local coffee shops, and how quickly you can go from waterfront dining to a quiet evening stroll. It's a place where people say “good morning” on walks and take pride in our community.

What makes this property unique

This home was designed with care and intention. From the open layout to the tropical outdoor space, everything was curated to create a peaceful, stylish retreat. The pool area is a favorite for guests, it’s private and beautifully lit at night, and perfect for both relaxing or entertaining.
