Wonderful Break in Ft. Lauderdale
Our group had a fantastic time at Jonathan's lovely home! It was so clean, the decor was tasteful and inviting, the kitchen had everything you'd ever need including both drip and Keurig coffee, and the beds were so comfy! He provides beach towels and ensures there is propane in the automatic starting grill. The best part is the backyard oasis!! We enjoyed relaxing poolside during the day and in the hot tub under the stars in the evening. The location is ideal - close to so many restaurants and shopping and a quick drive to the beautiful beaches, but in a quaint and quiet neighborhood. Jonathan was so very helpful providing tips for our stay and reached out to make sure we had everything we needed - he's genuinely so kind! I cannot recommend the house and area more and look forward to coming again!

Like A Private Resort
My family and I stayed here for a couple weeks while getting some renovations done at our house a few miles away. We saved a lot of money by cooking most of our meals there (GREAT kitchen) and enjoyed grilling by the pool a few nights. There was plenty of space for everyone and it felt like staying at a private resort. Don't hesitate to book this place if available!

Cory's place was perfect for a family stay, everything was clean and description was accurate and better. It has so many beds, space, utensil, etc, absolutely everything you need in a stay even washing detergent and Rinse even though I took my own. Game Room and pool was cool and fun. Nice neighborhood, I can just go on and on about this stay. Last but not least, I usually am the one having to reach out to host, in this case the host was the one always contacting me and making sure everything was going smooth. I would rate 10 stars if it was possible. I absolutely enjoy this stay and will recommend it 100%.

Pirates Paradise did not disappoint. The home was spacious enough for our group of six to comfortably enjoy Thanksgiving dinner, and we appreciated having access to the pool and various games. The property was clean, the neighborhood was pleasant, and the drive to nearby beaches and restaurants was convenient. While we didn’t have children with us, we noticed the many toys and games that would make it ideal for families. Overall, the host was welcoming and accommodating, and the stay was excellent.

We checked out of another place after 2 nights and fortunately found this haven. The house has been recently remodeled and and we felt a sense of relief as soon as we walked in. The house was clean and beautiful. The layout of the house was thoughtful with three bedrooms on one side of the house, the living space and kitchen in the middle, and the master bedroom and bath opposite the other bedrooms. The pool was clean and the view of the river out the back of the house was beautiful. We felt at home and had plenty of space for 2 adults and 4 kids. The garage has been turned into a game room which we enjoyed and kept the kids busy when we had down time. We only did light cooking and had sufficient pots/pans/utensils. If someone were going to do more serious cooking it may be challenging but that typically is not the case on vacation for us. We booked last minute and hosts responded quickly. Would definitely return.

This well-appointed king suite is centrally located seconds from the beach with a fabulous view.
This lovely suite is most suitable and convenient for a couple however it could accommodate two more people on the sofa in the living room. The kitchen and bar area is well-equipped with a full fridge, stove and dishwasher. We enjoyed having our breakfast, the occasional lunch and cocktails on the large deck overlooking the ocean and beach. The bedroom is roomy with a comfortable bed and a view of the beach. The unit has fans and a very efficient air conditioning system that keeps the air cool even in the middle of summer.There is a substantial walk in closet for hanging clothes and other storage. The bathroom is also ample with soap, shampoo and other personal care products replenished as needed. I appreciated having a half bath in addition to the main bath.The daily maid service is a plus and the staff are very pleasant. Ray the owner checked in with us regularly to ensure that all of our needs had been met. Other reviewers have mentioned the valet parking as an issue however there is less expensive parking very near by. The property is immediately across from the beach and it is an easy walk to restaurants and shops.We enjoyed walking on the boardwalk that is adjacent to the beach. The system wifi was intermittent and for me this was the only issue that caused us some frustration. I would highly recommend this suite as a luxurious home base for a couple in Fort Lauderdale Beach.

We booked The Betty for my bachelorette party after seeing all the amazing reviews, the adorable photos, and the ideal location—and it absolutely lived up to the hype! From the moment we landed at 10AM, Linsey was incredibly accommodating, allowing us to check in early so we could settle in right away. The house is impeccably stocked with everything you could need—from extra bachelorette decor, pool floats, and cute cups to essentials like toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, laundry pods, and dish detergent (which we hadn’t even thought to buy—lifesaver!). The vibe of the house is so cute, girly, and fun—perfect for a celebration weekend. Linsey also provided amazing local recommendations, including a beach cabana company that gave us one of the most memorable days of the trip. To top it off, she generously offered a late checkout so we could store our bags and enjoy every last moment before heading out. I would 100% recommend The Betty to anyone planning a girls’ trip/ Bach!

Maria, Carla and Marc were amazing hosts! Their home was absolutely beautiful, comfortable, and located in a very quiet neighborhood. The rooms were spacious, and the guest house was an extra bonus that really made the home stand out. If you’re looking for a chill spot to relax and enjoy yourself, this is definitely the place. The hosts responded within seconds and answered every question I had before the trip. I also thought it was really thoughtful that Maria asked if I needed the pool net put up. Since my 6-year-old is autistic and loves water, that meant so much to me. When I arrived, the net was already up, and it was very sturdy. The pool was always heated, which made the stay even better. This was honestly the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. I would come back and stay at this home over and over again whenever I visit Fort Lauderdale.
