This house is exactly as described. The sheets were beyond soft and the beds comfortable and abundant. The ice maker in the entry way came in very handy. The pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen and space were amazing with more than enough towels for everyone. The washing machines and dryers were very useful. The kitchen is stocked with stables which is very convenient. There was construction going on next door but was never an issue, don't let that turn you off. We very much enjoyed the activities at the marina across the canal. Rolf was available for assistance when needed but not intrusive. We will be back and look forward to staying here again. Pleasure to meet you Rolf.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. The location is great with easy drive to the beach, grocery store and local park which had lots of amenities. Rolf was available for all questions and helped us use the pizza oven. Overall, we had a great time! The outdoor facilités were fantastic!

My family and I stayed at Rolf’s home for a week this month(December) and had the BEST stay. This house is seriously stunning and there is nothing it doesn’t have!! If I couldn’t find something, Rolf was just a quick text or phone call away and was incredibly accommodating throughout our stay. The outdoor area kept us entertained all day everyday. Pool, hot tub, putting green, grilling station.. I’m telling you he’s got it all! We had one baby with us and Rolf had high chair and pack and play. The house was clean, well furnished, and stocked with everything you need for comfortable stay. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks for everything Rolf.

The Mediterranean Retreat exceeded our expectations in all ways possible. It was so clean on arrival, and Rolf was there shortly after our arrival to take us for a tour and show us everything we needed to know. The house was outfitted with some baby gear, including pack and play, high chair, booster seat, and a baby gate around the pool which was incredible. It acted as a big playpen since it also blocked access to the docks when the kids were playing. Between that, the putting green, the kitchen opening to the patio where we ate ALL our meals - it was absolutely perfect for kids. Rolf was very responsible to all of our needs during our stay. We were able to do an everglade airboat tour 30 minutes away which we highly recommend. The beach is a 30 minute walk, but we did it most days. There was a playground, splashpad, and ice cream shop at the beach that the kids almost liked more than the beach itself. We made pizza on the outdoor pizza oven which was absolutely lovely, we had coffee on the upper terrace to watch sunrise, and happy hour on master bedroom deck. I can't recommend this place enough! Thanks Rolf and Ingrid!

The property was amazing. It is like a mini resort. Rolf was a great owner to deal with. He set up the pizza oven for pizza night and it was so much fun. This property was clean, location was great and the owners were amazing. Would make a great rental for anyone!!!

The property was exactly as we expected and the hosts were even better: very responsive and eager to ensure we enjoyed our time in South Florida.
The noise from the construction projects next door were the only negative the whole week.

We are a family of eight. The home was very spacious and we all had our own spaces. The pool, jacuzzi and outdoor fire pit, TV, and bar were great to hang out.
We were there for Super Bowl so TV was great. All our meals were on the beautiful deck. The home is situated in a very convenient area, close to shopping etc. My only negative, I wish they would have given us a heads up abut out view from the deck. We looked at a boat yard, could be worse but I wish i had known.

A group of us stayed for a weekend for a business/vacation meeting; everything met and exceeded our expectations. The home is beautiful and even better than the pictures. The outdoor space is fantastic and we spent most of our time there. There's a fully-stocked kitchen with everything you would need and we took advantage of the grill and smoker for meals. For you golfers, even if it's the mini golf type, the putting green is awesome and even has a few challenging breaks. Best of all, Rolf and Ingrid were gracious hosts and were available for anything we needed. Communication was excellent and we are already planning a return visit in the future!

Spent an amazing 8 days in Pompano at Rolf and Ingrid's beautiful home. Our group of 10 (6 adults, 4 kids) spent countless hours in the pool during the day and in the game room in the evenings. House is really well maintained, clean and has plenty of room for all, the pictures do not do it justice! Best of all, Rolf and Ingrid are amazing hosts. Check in process was smooth and Rolf gave us a detailed walkthrough of the property when we arrived. They were both extremely attentive and quick to respond to any of our questions when we needed their assistance. We look forward to coming back in the future, thank you Rolf and Ingrid!

Had an excellent stay at Rolf and Ingrid’s Santa Barbara Estate property. Home is in a quite track off main highway and walkable, via neighborhood backroad’s. Home has all the amenities - making for a pleasant stay. The pool is awesome.. many hours spent there just lounging and trying to beat the heat and humidity. Highly recommend!!

Where to start! The house, amazing! The owner Rolf, amazing! Pompano Beach area is a great spot. Really enjoyed our stay. You must ask Rolf to get his handmade pizza oven going. And make yourself homemade pizzas, calzones. Awesome

Everything about our vacation was wonderful. The home is amazing. The bedrooms were comfortable; the master suite looked like it belonged in a palace! The exterior was so fun. Heated pool, putt putt, and out side grill made for a fun week. And Rolf could not have been nicer. A first class guy!

The property is absolutely beautiful, especially the outdoor space. We had a total of 9 in our group, two different families traveling together, and we all had a fantastic week. The owners Rolf and Ingrid are fabulous and were there to answer any questions and and did a wonderful job making us feel welcome upon our arrival. We highly recommend this property and it was by far the best VRBO we rented over many years. What a great home to ring in the New Year! :)

There were seven of us…5 adults and two children. Myself, hubby, our 5 year old son, my twin sister and her 11 year old daughter, and a couple. I have the pleasure of saying we assisted in my friends’ engagement while on this vacation. It was absolutely wonderful. The house is phenomenal. The view from the third floor lookout is gorgeous. The beach, only 8 minutes drive away, is stunning and peaceful. Restaurants near by are to die for. Every one we went to was great. And if you want to cook, which we did at least half of our stay, was so easy. The house is fully loaded for chefs or cooks. The pool and hot tub were a joy…our kids enjoyed them to the max. This is a vacation you will not want to end. We have been on other vacations where we stay in a house. These owners were wonderful. If we had any issues, and there really weren’t much, they handled them quickly and efficiently. They were pleasant and they clearly care for and keep their home perfectly. I wish all properties we have vacationed in were this well cared for. I’ve told so many friends about this home and plan to visit again. We loved the area as well and maybe one day, we can be neighbors :). Take care Ingrid and Rolf! And keep being awesome!

The pictures on the VRBO site do not do this house justice. It is absolutely gorgeous. Six of us stayed for 8 nights. The home is spacious and comfortable to hang out with the family. The backyard is paradise. We would highly recommend this property for any type of large family/group gathering. Rolf and Ingrid were exceptional hosts, who were on top of everything making sure our stay was the best it could possibly be.

Great Family Vacation Home
We stayed 10/12 to 10/19. Our family greatly enjoyed our stay at the Kraus home. It was very clean and the kitchen had anything that you could possibly need. The interior has was spacious with room for everyone. The outdoor area was beautiful and we spent a lot of time out there. There was plenty of outdoor seating, loungers, and pool towels. Rolf and Ingrid were very accommodating to our family. Rolf was always telling us to call him if we needed anything. All of our family had a great time and we would love to visit the Kraus home again. Thank you for a very comfortable and memorable stay. Derek and family.
