Very positives recommendation (cleanliness, host communication, amenities like a well-stocked kitchen, comfy beds), mentions any minor issues constructively, and confirms overall satisfaction, helping future guests know what to expect, like a so good experience, The house was clean, beds super excellent quality comfy, and the kitchen was ok – even quality knives and great dish sets! Mr JP was so responsive, and check-in was a breeze. The location was perfect for exploring, just a short walk to great restaurants, the beach very close. Thanks G. Torres

Great location

Very clean and well stocked property. The on-site laundry makes a longer stay wonderful so you don’t have to find a place to do laundry. The back yard is peaceful and is surrounded by large palms so there is a ton of privacy. The neighborhood is also very quiet but is located near everything you and your family may want to do!

Nice property, great location

We had a pleasant stay at Mockingbird Station. The house was clean and very well stocked. Some minor issues on the house were adressed immediatly by the owner. Locatiion is great, both beach and grocery shopping are in walking distance. Unfortunately the backyard garden is not usable as there is no gras. But the porch infront of the house was a nice place to relax.

My sons Jungle

Our time at this property was stellar. As a small family, it fit us very well. I was able to cook and clean as though I was in my own home for the most part. We made use of the kitchen most nights and mornings. My mom enjoyed sitting on the deck in the back to take in the sun and do bubbles with my son. He referred to it as a jungle in the backyard with all of the trees. Although the backyard was under some renovations, a quick google search led us to some local parks and the beach, and JP provided items to make it comfortable (blanket, chairs, towels, and toys!) we were close to a lot of good eateries and a very eclectic area of Ft. Lauderdale. If I found myself back in the area, I would attempt to book with JP again or at least somewhere in this area. Very quiet neighborhood, a dog and walking neighborhood which we really enjoyed being home sick from our own dogs back home. Thank you again JP for providing such a cozy stay for me and my family!

what was advertised but.....

little bit of an issue when arrived a property in getting the right code for the lock box. The smoke alarm was beeping so rather than calling property owner we bought 9v and replaced it our self. when we left followed all the instructions cleaned dishes, put away, stripped all beds put in washer, even set thermostat to 78, and took out garbage to curb for pickup. Owner accused us of locking bathroom door and closing it and wanted to charge me $85. We left all the doors open. Also, I took out the additional damage insurance. He is filing the claim now and still sending me the payment request. Seems very Shady. My advice is film everything when you arrive and when you leave.

I’ll start off by saying the nice thing about the property is that it’s in a central location. I would have loved to leave a positive review but unfortunately our experience was not pleasant. There were cockroaches in the kitchen everyday (photo’s attached) which was concerning. The bathtub in the bathroom could use some maintenance because the drain and the overflow drain are both two holes without any covers, which means you can quite literally see inside the tub, and it renders the actual tub unusable so expect to take showers only. The handle on the shower is also incredibly loose and we were scared it was going to completely come off. We also found hair tangled in the fringe of the hand towel provided which was very unpleasant and made us question the cleanliness overall. The area itself is okay, however we did experience a few cars stopping on the opposite side of the property a few times and just linger for a while before eventually driving away when we were outside rinsing off our Scuba gear, which made the area feel unsafe. However there are plenty of outdoor cameras both on the front porch as well as the back porch/garden. The property is close to the beach and some restaurants so it’s easy to get out and explore the area.

Casa aconchegante em excelente localização

A casa é excelente e perfeita para 4 ou 5 pessoas, apesar de ter apenas 1 banheiro. JP é um anfitrião extremamente cordial e solícito. Quando chegamos tudo estava extremamente limpo e arrumado a nossa espera. A casa cheirava bem, a cozinha estava equipada com muitos utensílios e coisas básicas para cozinhar e tinha tudo o que precisávamos para passar uma semana em Fort Lauderdale. Os quartos estavam organizados e arrumados. Algumas toalhas estavam ainda na máquina de lavar, mas isso não foi um problema para nós pois o anfitrião nos avisou e orientou sobre isso. O quintal também tinha passado por uma troca de tubulação de esgoto recente, e estava sem grama, mas o anfitrião fez questão de nos avisar sobre isso antecipadamente e não foi um problema para nós. A localização é perfeita, a poucos metros de vários restaurantes, lojas, academia, farmácias e supermercados. Tivemos dias perfeitos em Fort Lauderdale nesta casa e quando voltarmos tentarei reservar esse local novamente. Recomendo fortemente.

Hello travelers!
We are Selecta Homes, a small firm dedicated to a few things all related to real estate. We build new semi-custom homes, renovate and rent single family and multifamily homes, we promote new developments, and represent a line of modular, high quality organizational furniture.

We take great pride in the experience we provide our guests and tenants and are available to make sure your stay is as enjoyable as possible.

Why they chose this property

Mockingbirds are the State bird of Florida so we named our home in Victoria Park after them. Our Mockingbird's Station is located in a quiet corner of the beautiful Victoria Park neighborhood. And is a very short walk or drive away from almost anything you might want or need. From daily necessities to a wide range of entertainment options.

What makes this property unique

The location is unique! Quiet, yet close to anything you may want or need. From the Las Olas beach under 10 minutes away to every possible store under 5 minutes away.

We do not hire a third party to manage the property... we are the owners and operators of our properties and I am directly involved in making sure you feel at home and taken care of.
