At first the layout of the house took us by surprise as you have to walk through one bedroom to get through to the other side of the house and both kitchens were very small. But we had a great time. We spent most of our time outside in the relaxing backyard- beautiful pool, fireplace, and very cozy. The host was very communicative, he responded almost immediately and checked in on us during our stay. Great location too, everything is as within in 10 minute drive. The beach is not walkable though as advertised. But overall great experience.

The house was excellent, very clean and comfortable, perfect to enjoy with the family. The service provided was outstanding, always attentive with great communication. I definitely recommend this place and would love to stay here again.
Great spacious home and in a great location. Having the pool is a major plus especially when traveling with kids.Plenty of stores near by and tons of activities to do. Host was very hospitable, attentive and informative. I would definitely book this house again.
It was a really great experience having 3 grandchildren in that property, I thought will be a disaster but was the contrary…. They got a chance to stay in part of the house playing and doing manicure or pedicure, face treatments, nails and the best part the pool, they enjoyed and have fun playing., very nice table in the solar room for breakfast and dinners together and also plenty space for them to sit down with us . It is a very special house for family with teenagers

Thank you so much for sharing this — it truly made us smile! 💛 We love hearing how Turtle Nest Bungalow brought your family together and gave your grandchildren space to play, relax, and make special memories (pool time is always a favorite!). It’s exactly why we designed the home to be spacious yet connected, especially for families with teenagers.

The house was perfect! Looks exactly like the photos. The house was to grocery stores, and a quick drive to the beach and other places. Everything was clean, and there were plenty of towels and dishes and other things to make our stay comfortable. We took advantage of the pool, despite the rainy weather. Hosts were quick to communicate and checked to see if we needed anything. Would love to stay here again in the future!
Our family's stay at Turtle Nest Bungalow was amazing. The house was very clean and spacious. The pool and yard was a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather. The property was also very responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend this property if you are visiting Fort Lauderdale.
This house was very nice, my family and I had a great time. It was clean and the property managers were very responsive. I also forgot 2 small items and Dominic was very kind to mail them to my home address. Very thankful and I will totally recommend Turtle Nest Bungalow!
This was the perfect place for me and my friends. It was comfortable and the location was convenient with a publix walking distance away. The backyard/pool was a great hangout place especially the sun room. Host responded quickly and was always helpful. would definitely recommend staying here!
We enjoyed our family weekend getaway here to start our vacation week. The house had ample room for the 6 of us to chill & unwind. The backyard with covered patio and pool was just what we needed to get us into vacation mode. The house was stocked with excellent amenities in the kitchen, bathrooms and kitchens. We highly recommend this place and hope to return next time we sail from the port of Ft Lauderdale.

About the host
Hosted by Dominic Gaziano
As the owner of this property, I come from a large Italian family, where family gatherings are cherished above all. We value spending quality time together, which is why I made sure this home is the perfect place for family get-togethers. Whether it's sharing meals, making memories, or just relaxing together, this home was designed to bring people closer. The spacious layout, with two full kitchens and multiple dining areas, makes it easy to accommodate large groups and create a sense of togetherness that is so important to me.
In addition to being passionate about family, I am also a doctor from Chicago. My professional experience has taught me the importance of healing both the body and mind. I believe that destressing and finding peace is essential for overall wellness, which is why I chose to make this property a tranquil, private oasis. The serene atmosphere here allows guests to unwind and reconnect, whether you're lounging by the pool, enjoying a family meal, or watching a movie under the stars. The calming environment provides the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, helping guests to reset and recharge. The peaceful surroundings and thoughtful amenities reflect my dedication to creating a space where both relaxation and connection can thrive. At the heart of this property is the idea that family time, relaxation, and wellness are intertwined, offering you the perfect place to unwind and rejuvenate while spending quality time with your loved ones.
Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood was carefully chosen for its central location, offering guests the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility. Just a short bike ride away from the beautiful beach, this location allows you to enjoy the ocean breeze and the sand without having to venture too far. Additionally, you're only 8 minutes from Las Olas Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale's premier shopping and dining destination. Whether you're looking for a high-end boutique, trendy restaurant, or a charming café, Las Olas has it all. And if you're in the mood for exploring the heart of the city, downtown Fort Lauderdale is just 8 minutes away, where you can enjoy vibrant nightlife, cultural venues, and more.
For those who love outdoor activities, our location is ideal. You’re only a 5-minute walk to Holiday Park, where you can take a stroll along scenic trails, play on the soccer fields, or even catch the Florida Panthers practicing ice hockey. It’s a fantastic spot for families or anyone looking to enjoy nature right around the corner. Plus, you’ll find a wide variety of restaurants and a movie theater within walking distance, making it easy to grab a meal or watch the latest blockbuster without even having to drive.
Another major perk of staying in this neighborhood is its proximity to two of the most desirable areas in Fort Lauderdale: Wilton Manors and Victoria Park. These vibrant, safe communities offer tons of great shops, eateries, and attractions to explore. Whether you’re wandering around or taking in the sights, you can rest assured that this area is welcoming and perfect for visitors of all kinds.
In addition to all of these incredible amenities, this neighborhood’s central location offers the perfect blend of fun and relaxation, making it ideal for your stay in Fort Lauderdale. Come see for yourself what makes this area a hidden gem!
What makes this property unique
What truly makes our property unique is the abundance of space and the dual kitchens, making it perfect for large families or groups. Imagine having two full kitchens and two separate dining areas – it's like having an in-law apartment as part of your Airbnb experience. Whether you're cooking a family meal together or preparing a quick snack in one kitchen while the other is used for a big dinner, this setup provides maximum convenience and privacy. Plus, the flexibility of two kitchens allows everyone to feel right at home and enjoy their time together. If you were to gather in all our dining areas at once, we'd have seating for over 25 people comfortably, both inside and outside. This is truly a special feature that makes our home ideal for big families or groups celebrating a special occasion.
The property itself is tranquil and private, creating a peaceful retreat where you don't even need to leave to have a wonderful time. From the moment you step onto the property, you’ll feel the calm ambiance of a private oasis. With three spacious dining areas, it’s easy for everyone to gather together in comfort. The home sleeps 10 guests comfortably, all on one level with no stairs, making it accessible for all ages. The pool area, with its shallow end perfect for young children or those learning to swim, adds to the serenity. Lounge in the shallow end of the pool on comfortable chairs or enjoy the fire pit after a fun-filled day of outdoor activities. Whether you choose to relax by the pool or enjoy the projector movie night on our mural, you’ll find plenty of reasons to stay outside and enjoy every moment in our tranquil backyard.
