Summary:
Located within leafy River Oaks is this stunning resort-style Villa with everything you could need for a relaxing stay.

The home features open-plan living with a fully equipped kitchen, 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 modern bathrooms, and a stunning landscaped yard with a private saltwater heated pool, sun lounges, and alfresco dining under the shady tiki hut.

Stay just 15 mins to the glamorous Las Olas beach and shopping Blvd and only 10 mins to the popular Hard Rock loaded with restaurants and attractions.

The Space:
Check yourself in to this stylish villa home and be transported to a glamorous island resort paradise complete with an inviting saltwater pool, a grand tiki hut and plenty of space for the family or group to spread out and relax.

The open-plan living area features a luxe leather sofa and a plush reading chair that surrounds the smart TV as well as a handy workspace ideal for remote workers with superfast WiFi included. The sleeper sofa can also be used as a fourth sleeping space.
Step through into the modern kitchen that comes fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, a coffee maker, and all the cookware, dinnerware, and utensils you could need.

Then enjoy meals together at the chic breakfast bar, at the café style table set for four

There are three generous bedrooms within the home with each offering comfortable beds topped in hotel-quality linen along with plenty of space to unpack and make yourself at home.

The master bedroom features a comfortable queen bed, an ensuite with a relaxing jetted bath, and two soft bath robes. Bedroom two also offers a queen bed and views out onto the pool area while bedroom three is perfect for families with one full bed, one twin bed, and a shelf full of fun board games.

Along with the master ensuite, there is an additional central bathroom with a large walk-in shower and a vanity stocked with all the essentials for your stay and plenty of soft, fluffy towels for each guest.

On a sunny afternoon, step out into the gorgeous resort-style yard and soak up the endless Florida sun on the two sun lounges before taking a dip in the refreshing saltwater heated pool.

Gather everyone together and enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch alfresco style under the shady tiki hut, then head out on the town with the popular Hard Rock Casino less than 15 minutes away.

With all the top attractions, white sandy beaches, restaurants, cafes, and shopping along Las Olas Blvd an easy 10 minutes away, you simply can’t go past this spacious, resort-style villa for your next getaway to The Venice of America, we can’t wait to welcome you!

Guest Access:
Guests have private access to the entire villa, landscaped yard with a heated pool and tiki hut as well as free Wi-Fi, free parking, complimentary coffee, and access to streaming apps on the Smart TV.

The Neighborhood:
Fort Lauderdale is famous for its beaches, arts, culture, and events. From shopping on Las Olas Boulevard to gondola rides on the canals, to a historic riverfront, this is the "Venice of America."

The villa is located within the leafy neighborhood of River Oaks and is only minutes to all the best attractions, shopping, and dining options.

Drive only 5 minutes to a supermarket, restaurants including YOT Bar and Grill (10 min walk) that overlooks the water and a whole bunch of cafes, fast food, and bars only a 10-minute walk from your door along Marina Mile Blvd.

Just two miles north of Port Everglades, you can experience Fort Lauderdale's landscaped beachfront promenade, with its signature white wave wall and paved brick paths.

The picturesque Secret Woods Nature Center just a few minutes away is a must-visit with a Butterfly Garden, a reptile habitat, and a winding boardwalk through the trees.

Along Las Olas Boulevard (4 miles away) enjoy premier shopping, dining, and the historic districts with something for everyone to enjoy then take a trip aboard Fort Lauderdale's water taxi provides a prime view of the mansions and yachts dotting Millionaires Row.

Stop at the Stranahan House, a preserved 1900s home furnished with antiques of the era. Or "follow the red brick road" of the Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk, the landscaped park, to the Arts and Entertainment District.

Trying to stay fit? Dive into the Atlantic for a swim or enjoy a workout and healthy fare at a resort spa. For some adventure, head westward for an airboat into The Everglades.

For a fun night out, drive just 12 minutes to the popular Hard Rock hotel and enjoy the expansive grounds with a 13.5-acre recreational water experience where you can kayak, swim, paddle board, or float in the Bora Bora style lagoon then relax in the gorgeous Rock Spa and Salon.

Eat out at one of the 19 dining outlets and 20 bars, play in the huge casino, or shop til you drop at The Shoppes with a large retail promenade.
There really is something for everyone to enjoy in the beautiful Venice of America.

Getting Around:
The best way to get around the city is by car with ample parking included with your stay.

Florida's Brightline train system makes it possible to travel from Fort Lauderdale to West Palm Beach and Miami without a car. Each ride takes about 30 minutes and departs daily every one to three hours, depending on the direction and time of day. Services are available every day from about 5:10 to 12:50 a.m.

You can see the city by boat with a fleet of water taxis that travel along the Intracoastal and downtown's New River, stopping at 14 points of interest in Fort Lauderdale and the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort. You can hop on and off the boats all day, but the tickets are a bit pricey. Each costs $28 per adult and $14 per child.

If your destination is not near a waterway, Sun Trolley offers routes with stops downtown and along the beach, as well as on Las Olas Boulevard. All routes are free except for the Beach Link and Las Olas Link routes, which cost $1 per ride or $3 for a day pass.

For shorter trips around the city, consider reserving a bicycle through the Broward B-cycle bike-sharing program. Broward B-cycle features stations in popular neighborhoods like Central Beach and downtown, making it easy to reach the Museum of Discovery and Science, Fort Lauderdale Beach Park, and other must-see sights. Bike rentals cost $5 per 30 minutes or $50 per day.

Guests can also use a ride-share company like Uber or Lyft with plenty of cars at any time of the day or night.

Interaction with Guests:
We strive to make sure your time at the villa is relaxing and enjoyable and are always available during your stay for any questions or recommendations on what to do and see in the area.

Wedding trip
We arrived to a clean home. They had everything you would need. Toys, pool stuff, games, books, everything for the kitchen. The property manager was very kind. The surrounding area was questionable one way but the other way it was fine. The house is very close to neighboring homes. This was our first time in Ft Lauderdale. We had a great time at the home.

Just perfect!!
This house met all of our expectations and more!! It was very clean and well stocked with everything that's needed including extra inflatables, shampoos, conditioner, body wash, which you hardly see that anymore in rentals. It also had a first aid kit, which came super very handy as one of my aunt's got a small cut!! It's the little things for me lol!! We felt in love with the back yard, such a great space, we were able to entertain our local FL family. It was just perfect! I highly recommend this house and would definitely stay here again.

Great Family Vacation
We had a great time at this property. Upon arrival it had been clearly cleaned well and just as described. Great location, close to the city, airport, beach, as well as other attractions. The pool was perfect for ourselves and small children. The books and toys helped keep our little ones busy as well. We also enjoyed the short walk to a local playground in the evenings. Highly recommend!

Great getaway
I rented this out for a weekend with friends and it did not disappoint! The backyard is spacious and has enough seating. The location is about 15 min to the airport and about 20 minute ride to downtown, the beach, and great restaurants. Martin made sure we had everything we needed and reached out to make sure we settled in okay. There was construction going on, on our street, so Ubers were a little difficult. Other than that a great snag for any gathering. Thanks Martin!

Bad Timing
Unfortunately, This rental house was located in a neighborhood that was undergoing replacement of the sewer system. As a result, traffic from a major thoroughfare was detoured down our street causing a constant traffic flow the first two weeks of our stay. The last two weeks there our road was closed except for heavy construction equipment and vehicles as they dug up the street. The noise from 8am to 6pm made it difficult to hold a conversation in the back yard. The continuous dog barking from next store contributed to the noise level as well. Also, the dust and dirt from this project required us to hose down the patio furniture daily and to wash our cars numerous times. The owner knew this project was planned during our stay and didn't make us aware beforehand. Because the low temperature of the water in the pool (not heated) we were unable to use during our February vacation. A positive, the owner did rectified our cable tv situation in a very timely manner.

Pleasant stay
We had a wonderful visit. The host has plenty of things which made our stay with our 10 month old and 3 year old easier (pack and play, booster seat, kids books, a few toys). The outside space is nice for family dinners and hanging on the patio. We had hoped to use the pool, but even with the outside being in the 80s, the unheated pool was just too cold to be in all the way. Overall a wonderful place to stay close to the airport and Las Olas Blvd.
