Best Host Experience Ever

We rent as a family nearly every year somewhere in the Greater Fort Lauderdale Area and have had many experiences. Rolf as a host was second to none. Attentive, proactive, and wants you to have a good time while you are there. We didn't even have to take out the garbage.The home was well cared for, clean, maintenance and upkeep was the best we've seen. If I had to leave a "could be better" it might be more options for King beds as only the primary had one. But otherwise it was spectacular. We will be booking again next year.

Perfect Staycation!

We needed more space with family coming to town and made the right choice with this rental!! The house was immaculately clean and had plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The beautiful saltwater pool with a soothing waterfall was a highlight. The owner was very attentive and made sure we knew he would help if we needed absolutely anything! We will definitely rent again.

Perfect place for relaxing family vacation

The property was exactly as we expected and the hosts were even better: very responsive and eager to ensure we enjoyed our time in South Florida. The noise from the construction projects next door were the only negative the whole week.
