The Space:
This apartment rental is private, complete with a separate entrance and dedicated parking. It adjoins the owner and host living area, which is also private and separate, under the same roof. The space is a beautiful contemporary and open layout. There are granite countertops & stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen. Throughout the home, you will find hardwood floors as well as mosaic-tile flooring in the bathroom. The lanai area is tiled with travertine pavers.

For everyone's privacy, this two bedroom one bath rental unit is separated from the owner host's living space by a set of interlocking French doors. These doors, which include sound-dampening features, lock securely on both the owner & guest sides .


Pool and Lanai:
Outdoor living is what we do best here at La Joya Oasis. The backyard features a secluded heated pool surrounded by lush green palms, tropical trees, colorful flowers & a myriad of other plants. Travertine pool decking completely encircles the pool which includes an outdoor dining area with sun loungers. The covered lanai includes an additional outdoor seating area. The lanai is attached to the house.

Your privacy is always a top priority while maintaining the grounds of a 5-star property. To those ends, the owner / host is on-site in an adjoining living area which utilizes a separate entrance thru the courtyard & via the east gate on the property. The eastern edge of the property between the house and fence as well as the southernmost portions of the lot are reserved for owner / host use as well as routine maintenance operations. These areas are separated from the house and pool area by bamboo privacy fencing and lush tropical vegetation.

We have two small mixed-breed dogs. Guests might encounter the dogs while outside in a common area. Our dogs are never allowed to roam freely nor enter the private guest apartment.

A Little Piece of Paradise

My BF and I chose the property after reviewing a plethora of possibilities. Billy, the property manager did an excellent job of promptly texting us when we had questions. We loved the tropical oasis just steps away from the house and the pool was an added bonus. The interior was clean and beautiful and the VRBO pics gave an accurate depiction of the property. All in all I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again at this VRBO property. Definitely a lil piece of paradise.

A beautiful oasis in the city!

We had an amazing stay at this property! The house was incredibly comfortable and spotlessly clean, equipped with all the expected amenities. The living and dining areas are spacious, with the living room situated two steps down—adding to the feeling of openness. The unique U-shaped floor plan provides a main bedroom at one end and two additional bedrooms at the other, ensuring plenty of privacy for everyone. The true standouts are the screened patio, complete with a hot tub and cozy patio furniture, as well as the backyard—boasting a large heated pool, stunning landscaping, and an abundance of seating and lounge areas. As for the location, it's fantastic—just under 10 minutes from Wilton Manors and downtown Fort Lauderdale, and a short 15-20 minute drive to the beach. We would definitely choose to stay here again without hesitation!

About the host

Hosted by Billy Broyles

Host profile image
Originally from Johnson City, TN, I lived in Charlotte, NC for about 15 years before moving to South Florida in 2016. I love being a host because it is a way for me to meet people from all over the world from different cultures and traditions.

Why they chose this property

La Joya Tropical Oasis is located in the South Middle River neighborhood of central Fort Lauderdale. Our neighborhood is locally famous for the wild peafowl that roam our streets and urban forests. South Middle River is a vibrant and diverse neighborhood comprised of long-time South Florida residents, members of the LBGTQ community, out of state transplants to Florida, as well as first-generation immigrants from the Caribbean and beyond.

​La Joya is within biking distance to all the shops, restaurants and nightlife found along "The Drive" in Wilton Manors. A walk to Wilton Manors would take approximately 30 minutes. Guests can certainly take advantage of La Joya's central location. The azure blue waters of our world-class beaches can be found approximately 4 miles to the east. Access to I-95 lies roughly 2 miles to the northwest. Wilton Manors is approximately 1.5 miles to the northeast. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Int'l Airport (FLL) is approximately 20 minutes to the south.

Among the highlights of the area is our new (as of 2018) passenger rail service connecting South Florida to Orlando Int'l Airport (MCO). Brightline's higher-speed train station for downtown Fort Lauderdale is located only 2 miles to the south, which is only a very quick ride away by Uber or Lyft. As a side note - Brightline is an excellent way to travel between the downtowns of Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Miami. The new Brightline extension also connects metropolitan South Florida to the Orlando area. Except for the Acela train which connects D.C. to Boston, Brightline is the only higher-speed train on the East Coast - it reaches speeds of over 100 mph.

What makes this property unique

We love our lushly landscaped garden and our old-Florida style back yard and pool setting. We have meticulously worked to curate an atmosphere where guests feel like they are surrounded by a little slice of paradise.

We have a reputation for highly satisfied first time as well as repeat guests. We work diligently to ensure all guests enjoy an exceptional experience. When questions or issues arise, we address them quickly and efficiently. This is reflected in the recognitions we have earned and continue to maintain from the major vacation rental / online travel agencies.
