The house was wonderful, plenty of space for 6 adults,. We had everything we needed for our stay. The pool was a little cold when we arrived but when I spoke to the host, she had the heater turned on for a fee. I would definitely stay again if back to Ft. Lauderdale for vacay.

We stayed at Casa Colorida during the Tortuga Music Festival. This house is adorable and exactly as captured in the pictures. The host is incredibly friendly, helpful, responsive and accommodating. I left a box of jewelry behind and the host was honest and sweet to mail it back to me. She made sure everything was intact. We had everything we needed and felt right at home. It is also in a good location with quick access to the beach, restaurants and shopping. We'll definitely be back!
