Centrally located to everything. Very clean and nice bedding. On a busier road so traffic in the early, early morning can be a little loud. This is a shared unit and shared backyard. Backyard was great being on the canal and plenty of seating to relax. Great if your going down to explore Ft. Lauderdale but would t recommend if your looking for a place just to stay and relax at. It was perfect for what we needed for a few days!! Will definitely stay again!

Stayed for three days in February and had a great time. House is actually two units and we were not bothered by the other other guests next door. The property backs onto a small canal my hat has fish. It is located on a busy street but we did not hear any traffic noise inside the unit. Everything was clean and looked nice. There were a lot of rules posted as mentioned in other reviews but it is mainly a list of items included in the unit and prices charged if they go missing. The thermostat is nest brand that has the temperature controlled by turning a ring on the perimeter of the control. A previous reviewer couldn’t figure it out but it worked perfectly. The owner met us there and gave a tour of everything and seemed keen to make sure we were happy with everything. The unit is a few minutes drive from downtown and the airport and I would recommend staying here.

The property was good but very sparce, particularly in the kitchen. There needs to be more cutlery and utensils. The location was fine but we were surprised that it was on a main road and also we were not expecting there to be a shared garden. It was quite awkward to relax in the garden. The furniture was very comfortable and overall it was clean. However we moved some furniture a little and it clearly hadn’t been cleaned underneath for some time which is surprising considering it is raised off the floor. The unit also had an unpleasant smell which you notice when you first enter. In summary, although I have noted a few issues it was a pleasant stay and communication with the owner was good.

The pictures are right on. Nice comfortable place. The backyard is very relaxing. Fit my needs just fine. We were there for a fishing trip and were able to put the boat in the carport. That was a bonus for me. Little things could be changed but over all a nice place to stay.

We were pleasantly surprised that we had a relaxing oasis in the back of the house! So peaceful sitting on the dock overlooking the canal. We even made a few friends with the wildlife (ducks/iguana). The property is conveniently located to nearby restaurants & shopping. Inside the house it was spacious & comfortable with all the amenities. We would definitely stay here again...loved it!

The villa had a great clean feeling. Myself and my friend stayed for 3 days and it was so nice to come to a simple and clean place to stay.

This was a cute place with a great location! Easy in and out and with an accurate description. Will be back!

We stayed for 2 nights before our cruise. The home is very clean and updated with nice comfortable furniture and a comfy bed. The backyard area is really the highlight with the water and nice chairs to sit and relax. The home is a duplex and so the backyard area is shared. This was not known to me beforehand and wasn't an issue since I was traveling with my husband, but if I were alone, I would have wanted to know that. Also, there is a washer and dryer, but it is outside of the unit and locked. So if you want to do laundry, that is something to note. It is on a busy street but that didn't bother us. Ask for pictures of the front of the house and the street if you are concerned. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with responsive hosts and I would stay again.

As advertised and clean. After you enter the code on the second door you need to wait 4-5 seconds before it unlocks.

Stayed here before we went on a cruise. Perfect! Great location.

Enjoyed the 2 day stay and sitting on the river. Close to busy road but really didn't notice much noise. Might suggest a hide-a-bed in the living room rather than just a couch. Would definitely stay here again.

House was great didn’t know it was like a split home but we still had our privacy and own side of building .

I have never stayed at a VRBO property that did not provide bathroom wash cloths or kitchen dish towels.. just paper towels. Reminder to bring your own. Couch is not comfortable at all

Great place to stay near downtown Riverwalk. 15 minute walk and your there, which is great since parking is somewhat expensive downtown. Very relaxing in back yard, didn't get a chance to fish but they were definitely active in canal. Great communication between host.

Clean, easy, and simple! Enjoyed my stay!

I have rented through VRBO for over 10 years. I have always been rated a 5 star renter. I have never rated a property lower than 4 stars. I am not a complainer. But this property should be considered an embarrassment by VRBO. There were plenty of “house rules”, on the listing and posted not one place, not 2 places but 3 places in the “villa”. But there was absolutely no directions; which side of the house we had rented, where to park, how to open and lock the keyless entries, instructions for the heating/cooling system, where the washer and dryer were and how to access them… Upon arrival there was an odor that immediately greeted you. At first I thought it was smoke ( for which there is a house rule and penalty) but as our time went on we questioned whether it was chemical or fireplace odor. The other issue was arriving to find the thermostat registering 78° and no instruction as to how to operate the system. The response when the owner responded 1+ hour later, was to tell me there was no odor in the home. It was clear what type of communication we were going to have. We avoided contacting her after that. During our 2nd week at the “villa” we returned, close to 10 pm, after a full day in southern Florida, to find 10 gallons of water bottles outside of our door. Upon entry we found that there was no working water, anywhere, including inability to flush the toilet. No communication from the owner, no idea why we had no working water and no idea how long we were to tolerate this situation. Response from owner was not enlightening. Awoke the next morning to find no change in the situation and no update from owner. We left the villa for the day, unshowdered. The update we finally received was to expect water in “several” hours from about 9:30am. We were already gone for our day. When questioned about reimbursement for the inconvenience we were told we were “people trying to take advantage” and she wanted to know how this would affect her review.

Was very surprised to find out the property was a duplex and we were sharing the back yard & washer/dryer. The place was clean & secure. The street was very busy & noisy. A hospital close by lots of sirens. The host was very nice and responsive to any issue.

Accessing the property was very difficult as the digital locks were hard for us to use. There was no information as to how to close the second digital lock so much time was lost trying to secure for exiting the home. The drain to the shower was plugged and we were obligated to be in the home for it to be repaired; so we lost appointments waiting for help to arrive. The property was spotless and cared for by a lovely housekeeper; The 41/2 foot ( I have photos inguanas were unexpected and seeing one exit the tree on the canal was like Nat'n Geographic. The 23 rules as to proper conduct were too many. So that's it

This property is a nice two bedroom unit convenient to Fort Lauderdale's seaside promenade. The street location is a bit busy. Having the back patio area canal side is a plus. Katia was helpfuladdressing questions that we had.

Nice place to stay. Updated bathroom. Nice sitting area on river.

Rental was very peaceful. Enjoyed sitting by the lake. Very clean and the beds were comfortable. Will stay again 100 percent.

This place was very clean, however, did find a dead cockroach under the dining room table upon check in. Also, definitely need a few good pans; a skillet and medium sized sauce pan would be really nice. Could use a few wash cloths.

It was a nice stay.

Great spot for a quick trip to south Florida. Provided everything needed and was close to nightlife. Comfortable acclimations as well

this is an amazing place to stay, super quiet, clean lovely back yard our host Katy was amazing in everyway you can described quick to response at anytime extremely polite and help full I mean if you are looking for a safe a Nice place to stay this is a great spot near to everything and super safe, thank you for having us Katy we will return.

It was a Great place to stay and relax

Located close to the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale, this property sits in a peaceful canal in a easily accessible neighborhood with a lot a stores and malls nearby. The property owner is incredibly accommodating and even offered to come out for some items like supplying beach supplies or a working toaster. Property was very comfortable and my family got good rest with the solid walls you can’t hear the road or your neighbors at all. Thank you Katia!!! 100% recommend!

We came to Fort Lauderdale on a couple's trip for my husband's birthday. He loves to fish, so the canal in the backyard is what sold us on booking this Rental. The villa was immaculate and the bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. Everything that we wanted to do was no more than 10 minutes away from the Villa ( Airport included) and on the days we just wanted to relax, we spent our time in the backyard fishing. We had a little hiccup in the beginning which led me to have to call Katia .Not only did she pick up on the 2nd ring, her and Frank were there in 15 minutes to fix the issue. We couldn't be more satisfied with our stay and plan to book again when we come back in September. Thank you Katia and Frank for being such great hosts! Your kindness was definitely appreciated :)
