Oliver was among the most accommodating and respectful hosts I have ever met. He texted me 48 hours before my arrival and provided me with excellent restaurants in the area and the wifi login and password, which made my check-in process so easy and headache-free. Whenever I needed recommendations, I was immediately texted back in less than 5 minutes. This house is truly a gem, with all brand new kitchen appliances, including what looks like a new refrigerator, silverware, and pots. The house was not just extremely clean but spotless and cozy, I was very grateful for. The pristine condition of the property made me feel comfortable and at ease. The neighborhood was fantastic, and I felt comfortable walking around the neighborhood. I thank Oliver and his home for such a wonderful stay and I will be visiting again soon! ##### Patrick M.

Location is great- 15 minutes to cruise terminal. We loved the park across the street with numerous iguanas & a canal. Very serene & pretty. The house itself is very suitable for 6 adults with its 3 bedrooms and two and 1/2 baths. Beds were comfortable and the A/C was excellent. The house definitely needs some tender loving care. The plug-ins in the upstairs bathrooms were missing wall-plates & did not work. Being in my late 60’s — banisters on the stairs are needed— it is a safety issue for me. Oliver was easy to communicate with— very accommodating. The issues we had— he was very receptive to. ##### Jenny R. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kimberly O.

We rented for the weekend total of 5 family members and our dog . The check in process was great and the house was clean . Unfortunately the half bathroom toilet was broken and none of the outlets in the bathroom worked !! So it made getting ready to attend a wedding a struggle. We had to blow dry our hair in the laundry room without a mirror. Several lights in the house didn't work either . Contacted the owner regarding toilet was told someone would be out to fix it the next day we never heard back !! Have always had luck with VRBO but this one definitely needed quality control . ##### Kimberly O. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Christine M.

The location of the house was convenient and easy to find. It had an attractive exterior and ample parking spaces. Oliver, the host, was exceptionally accommodating and addressed all of our inquiries promptly. He even reached out to me personally to ensure a smooth stay, considering we were arriving from Canada for a cruise and staying only for a night. Oliver greeted us upon arrival and departure, which was a nice touch. The house was spotlessly clean and well-equipped with amenities to comfortably accommodate three couples. The kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed. The dining area adjacent to the kitchen was slightly cramped for six adults, but we made it work for our meals and game night. The bedrooms were all located upstairs, one of the bedrooms had a private balcony with ample seating and lush plantings providing an enjoyable space for relaxation and afternoon cocktails. The second washroom located in one of the upstairs bedrooms is quite small and not suitable for larger people. Some of the electrical outlets did not work in the upstairs washrooms, despite trying to reset the GFIs. Extention cords were provided to utilize the electrical outlets from the bedrooms however, the electrical outlet issues were an area of concern. ##### Christine M.

Oliver, the owner, was very sweet, and the communication was wonderful. Check-in was easy, the location was perfect for what we wanted (family was a short walk away, in the Las Olas River House), and the house is very cute on the exterior. However, the interior is, at best, "sparse." There are no comforters or spreads on the beds, just sheets and velour blankets, there are no side tables or lights next to the beds, slats are broken in the blinds, none of the outlets in the bathrooms work (necessitating a VERY long extension cord plugged in in the bedroom and snaked into the bathroom in order to use a curing iron or hairdryer), the back door has a deadbolt, but it wasn't engaged (and one needed a key to lock it), the upstairs balcony railing was unsafe, spare sheets are balled up and shoved in a closet under the stairs and in one of the bedroom closets, and while there is amazing original art in the home, it was all on the floor, leaning against the walls. In addition, there are no ceiling fans, and the air conditioner is not really sufficient (and there is a note stating that you can't lower the temperature without breaking the unit, and incurring a fee). I think that this COULD be a very cute property, but it's not quite there yet. ##### Carl C. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tim V.

The house looks amazing from out front and promises a historic charme that it keeps through all the rooms, as well. Located in a rather quiet street in walking distance to central Ft. Lauderdale, the Riverwalk and Las Olas Blvd. The house has plenty of space for a group of up to six people (adults or teenagers, not so suited for little kids) to spend the day in- our outdoors at one of two tables or two couches downstairs or the three bedrooms (two with adjacent shower/bathroom) upstairs. On the downside, the well-equipped kitchen with its appliances and a number of other things are a bit lived-down and have probably seen better days. Everything works, but don't expect either state-of-the-art appliances or modern windows with mosquito gazé (except for the kitchen and one bedroom). An old window in the master bedroom hardly shuts at all, letting noise from the street outside in rather unfiltred. In one of the bedrooms, the central A/C duct sits in one of the cabinets and is rather noise, so only heavy sleepers should stay there. During our stay, cleanliness was OK. Watch out for rodents and raccoons around the house, best to keep doors and windows shut. The major upside of the house is the host, Oliver, who was the most attentive and friendly person to deal with we have encountered in a long time. If the house received a few updates we'd give it 5\*! ##### Tim V. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Alina D. Jan 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short stay in quaint neighborhood Loved the place, letting you feel a little like old(ish) days South Florida. The house is a great place for family/ group of 4-6 people, with good connections to highway and downtown, and yet in a quiet walkable hood next to the water and parks. The best was the communication with the host, Oliver answering any question within minutes, helping whatever the issue. There's room to park your car(s) on side of the house in the narrow alley, good enough for us. Kitchen is old, but well stacked yet don't plan to cook complicated meals for the whole family 3 times a day. Washer and dryer are there (didn't use), old, large fridge, dishwasher and microwave, oven and stove, even a coffee grinder (yay), but no toaster. There are also two dining tables/ areas on the ground floor, large living room with nice seating and a toilet. Upstairs 3 bedrooms (two with a king size and one with 2 individual beds) and a terrace, two bathrooms (a larger one with great two! shower heads in one cabin, allowing a couple to shower simultaneously), and a tinieee second bathroom (shower and sink). Should work well if you're not too picky about 'personal space'. You can even open the new windows in one of the bedrooms. Good bedding! Our only issue was with the all-over old state of appliances and house itself. If you're prepared to oversee some little things that don't work properly/ have seen their best days a while ago, you'll certainly enjoy your stay there. ##### Alina D.
