What a wonderful property, ideally located near the beach and with tons of restaurants nearby! The pool and the canal are peaceful, and my grandkids said it was the best ever! Thank you to our hosts who shared their beautiful home. The master bedroom bath's walk-in shower was to die for. There are big-screen TVs in every bedroom and the family room. The kitchen was very well stocked, and everything was clean, clean, clean! We will definitely be back!

Everything you could possibly want on a vacation is available at this waterfront home. It is very modern, extremely clean and comfortable with all modern furniture and appliances. It even smells great. Located in a desirable neighborhood on the East side of Fort Lauderdale, it is on a quiet street. when we walked in the neighborhood we met several of the neighbors and they were very nice. It's quiet, and relaxing both inside the home and either poolside or dockside. My grandson caught a fish from the dock. My granddaughter used the 2 man kayak that is available at the home with her little brother and explored the canals that run through the neighborhood. This was the best accommodations for a week in South florida and I highly recommend it to all. I know my review might seem over the top, but this place was a great place to stay.
