About this property

Backyard Paradise: 2bd/2bath Waterfront Home, Heated Salt Water Pool, Tiki Bar

This wonderful house is your home away from home. Spacious rooms and open floor plan with paradise backyard containing beautiful heated, salt water pool with waterfall decoration, 8+ person tiki bar, and privacy landscaping and waterfront canal will make you want to stay home all day and play.
Two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a futon in the back den make this home a comfortable stay. Both bedrooms have queen beds, dressers, and closet space. The master has a private full bathroom. There is a pack and play in the garage if needed. The living and dining rooms and a fully appointed kitchen provide everything for home dining. The backyard deck with a propane grill, large tiki bar, and private pool with waterfall decoration allow you to live outside all day, if you wish.
If your interests are more exploring and taking in the sights and sounds of Ft. Lauderdale, the house is located a short drive or cab ride from all the activity. Lauderdale-by-the-sea has many great restaurants such as Aruba on the beach with live weekend music and Village Pump with its New England vibe for games, dinner, and drinks.
Ft. Lauderdale beach offers beach-front dining and drinks, shopping, people watching, and large sidewalks for walking or running. Las Olas is the fine-dining, upscale shopping and restaurant section of town. Downtown offers historic background, a low-key restaurant and bar selection, and late-night bars and entertainment. All are located a short drive away.
Our house is located in a great quiet neighborhood right in the heart of Ft Lauderdale. You are close to the beaches, shopping, and restaurants. The house is fully air conditioned and has a washer and dryer in the garage.
This rental is approved as a City of Fort Lauderdale Vacation Rental, Certificate #1701109. In accordance with that policy, “It is unlawful to allow for a sexual offender or sexual predator to occupy this residence.”

tatsächlich 5 Sterne

Man kann nie 100% sicher sein was einen erwartet.... Aber hier stimmte alles! Ausstattung, Sauberkeit, Sicherheit, Pool alles top. Auch Sonderwünsche wurden vom Gastgeber erfüllt! Danke nochmal dafür. Viele Flüge aus Europa erreichen z.B. Miami erst in den Abendstunden. Zugang zum Haus kein Problem mit remote programmierbaren Türschloss. Kein Stress! In der Garage lagern eine Vielzahl nützlicher Sachen die über die Listung in der Beschreibung hinaus gehen. Kleinkinder und Pool ? Kein Problem.. aufstellbarer Pool-Zaun. Strandtag ? Strandstühle, Sonnenschirme, Kühltaschen Eispacks.. alles vorhanden. Obwohl unsere Gastgeberin nicht vor Ort war lief die gesamte Kommunikation reibungslos. Vielen Dank nochmal Kim, wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!

BEAUTIFUL BACKYARD

Hands down one of the cleanest homes we have rented. Really appreciated the abundance of everyday supplies, from pool towels to shampoo and laundry detergent all the basics and more were provided. The backyard was lush and fairly private with mature palms ,multiple seating areas and a great water view. Fantastic pool that came equipped with lots of water toys and endless entertainment watching the iguanas on the dock! Would definitely recommend staying here.

Terrible

We slept in the driveway the first night of our stay and couldn’t reach the property owner to get in. The place has bugs everywhere and the toilets backed up I’m to the tubs. Half the light switches didn’t work and the ac hardly worked. The exterminator came while we were there trying to spray toxic chemicals which meant we would have had to leave the property for a number of hours and he said the unit was way too hot. The host was aware of all the problems before she rented the place out.

Great place in Ft Lauderdale with pool and tikihut

The family went to Ft Lauderdale to visit family and friends. We enjoyed our stay here it is centrally located to Ft Lauderdale and Pomano beach. The house is closed to many restaurants and grocery stores and beach area. Our 13 old son enjoyed the pool and some of the iguanas out back on the dock.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Kroha

Host profile image
My husband and I loved living in this home since purchased in 2001. However, a new job brought us back to his hometown of Boston. We can't part with this house and love being able to share all of the fun and relaxing times in the backyard with other folks and families making their own memories. We hope you love this house as much as we do. We think you will!

Why they chose this property

We love the location of this house being close to the action of Ft. Lauderdale but with a residential and safe feel. The neighborhood streets are great for walking or jogging. Many of the neighbors have owned their homes for a long time and have become good friends. There is easy access to beaches, restaurants, and on-and-off the highway.

What makes this property unique

The living room offers great views of the backyard with large sliding doors for access. The backyard is our favorite spot with a tiki bar we had built that seats 8+ people and has its own stereo and lights. The pool was redone in 2005 with tile edging, a waterfall accent, and a paver patio. There is so much to do in the local area, but we have always found our best times to be here at the house in the backyard. After living in the area so long, we can provide recommendations for basically any activity that you are interested in. Please let us know and we will provide you with as much detail as possible!
