About this property

Secluded, tropical, riverfront environment with South Florida flora and fauna.

The high ceilings and large open floor plan of this one-bedroom guesthouse create a bright, spacious interior appointed with contemporary yet comfortable furnishings.
The kitchen, with its granite countertops and ample cabinet space, is fully equipped for cooking at home if you choose to do so.
The living room is huge and with the 50 in. Smart TV, streaming your favorite apps will keep you entertained during your time spent indoors, if any!
The bedroom has a queen size bed and a built-in mirrored wardrobe with drawers, shelving, and hang rod, and there should be more than enough room to accommodate even the most fashionably prepared guests. There is also a 55" Smart TV in the bedroom.
Enter the bathroom and find yourself surrounded by mirrors, marble, and granite in a late 20th-century idea of what a Roman spa might have been. With gold-plated plumbing fixtures and a spa tub, this bathroom for some would be considered fabulous, and for others, over-the-top eccentricity! Either way you'll enjoy it's unique ambiance while using the facilities.
Outside, at the entrance to the unit is a brick patio with a table and chairs. A tropical garden and walkway lead you toward the orchid and birdhouse at the back of the property where you can relax under the mango, palm, and banyan trees. Enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon cocktail (or vice versa) with the local wildlife and the property mascots.
The riverfront deck and boat dock offer views up and down this urban river and kayak or canoe use can be arranged under certain circumstances.
The property owners reside in the detached main house and will be available most of the time to be sure you have what you need to make your stay comfortable and hassle-free.
Fort Lauderdale's famous beaches and Intracoastal Waterway are less than 5 miles away, and with options like jet skiing, parasailing, or boating you'll come back home suntanned (if you're careful) and ready for a nap before your evening begins.
Nightlife on 'The Drive' is just a short 2 minute drive away or a 15 minute walk if you choose. Wilton Drive is a lively, eclectic collection of bars, restaurants, sushi bars, and retail shops catering in large part to the LGBT+ community. There's fun here for everyone however, demonstrating the inclusionary nature this small city has been built on.
There is no doubt you will be pleasantly surprised by the peaceful ambiance of this guesthouse located in the heart of one of South Florida's most popular resort cities.

Fantastic Property and Hosts

Great stay at a terrific property with a great location and fantastic hosts. The space was perfect and well appointed. We cooked a few nights during our 8 night stay and the kitchen was perfectly appointed. We lacked for nothing. The hosts made the check in progress so easy and they were so accommodating. Highly recommend.

Incredible Stay

My partner and I had an unforgettable stay at Caesar and Tony’s apartment. Caesar quickly responded to my first questions about their place and any new concerns that we had prior to our arrival. When we arrived, they both greeted us with warmth attitude and respect. They made us the tour of the apartment and the permises. We found a sparkling clean apartment. Confortable bed, very confortable living room set, and the most well equipped kitchen that I have never seen in any VRBO before. The ceiling of the apartment is very high so it makes it feels even bigger that it is, we loved that. The cherry on the cake is certainly the patio by the canal, so relaxing to take a coffee in the morning or or cocktail in the afternoon, or even look at the moon at night. The private patio with the dining table was great to have meals outside. Through our stay, Caesar and Tony were incredible, the most genuine , kind , and generous people that we had the chance to meet for a long time. They are always offering their help for anything, but yet respected our privacy when needed. Having the landlord living on the property makes the stay even safer. Their dog Ziggy was a joy to have around , full of energy and love, we fell head over heel over him. The two big turquoises on the property are also fun. The lot is so beautiful ,well maintained with great palm trees,the landscaping is perfect with a beautiful pool that we can use. Thank you so much Caesar and Tony!

Excellent location

This guest house is located in a quiet neighborhood only minutes from all the attractions of the area. We enjoyed good meals at the local restaurants, played golf and Pickleball and rested in the tropical back yard poolside. Caesar and Tony could not have been more accommodating and available to ensure our stay was comfortable. Highly recommend

Could not have been better

This is a most relaxing, comfortable, beautifully landscaped property with much privacy and great hosts. We could not have asked for more. It’s definitely for a couple of any age. It is close to some good restaurants, not far from beaches - but we could have spent the entire time at home and wanted for nothing. As I said great hosts, wonderful dog and - you won’t find this often - two tortoises! I’d go back, and probably will, in a heartbeat.

Wonderful experience!

The property is beautiful, inviting and low key. It is a very nice place to relax in. It is also very close to everything, the beach, the canals, the Everglades, etc. and many other things you may want to see! Caesar and Tony are welcoming and they have a lovely dog and two tortoise who are fun to watch.

Great Location, Comfortable Apartment on a beautiful property

We stayed here for a month while working remotely and the space had everything we needed to be comfortable and more! We loved the beautiful patio and enjoyed having our coffee on the dock next to the river in the backyard. You’re not going to find a better location! We had everything we needed in walking distance—plenty of bars and restaurants on Wilton Drive, boutique retail and grocery stores were all nearby. The place is thoughtfully setup so we really didn’t need to bother Tony and Cesar for much, but when we did they were always very responsive. We will be coming back!

Everything We Wanted

Our stay at this property was more than we expected (including a daily visit from Ziggy the owners dog). We spent about 2 and a half weeks at this property. The check-in process was seamless. The owners (Tony and Caesar) were always prompt in responding to our needs/questions. The space was extremely comfortable including the private outdoor patio space. The property was well equipped including all kitchen, bedroom, and living room needs. The property and grounds are spacious, green and well cared for. We felt like we had our own little oasis. Caesar and Tony are very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We look forward to seeing them again as we would definitely rent this space again. Thank you both for a great stay!!

The perfect place.

If you didn’t think finding the perfect getaway spot would ever happen...think again. Spent 9 nights and could do another 9. This property had everything we needed including two GREAT hosts. Perfect for a nice retreat and quiet getaway, the house dog Ziggy and two yard tortoises were great company while sitting by the water. My only regret was the tropical storm the first few days of our stay, I guess that means we just have to come back!

Amazing Getaway

Caesar and Tony’s property is a great place to have fun and relax without going anywhere. They are very responsive, friendly and accommodating. The outside is beautiful and serene. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and grill in the private patio area. It was nice being able to enjoy the pool and sit and relax by the waterfront. They supplied us with beach chairs and an umbrella which we were really grateful for not having to incur that expense. We enjoyed the tortoises and their dog Ziggy. I will definitely stay here again next time I take a trip to Fort Lauderdale.

Wilton Manors Guesthouse

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Even during these precarious times, Caesar made us feel comfortable, wearing a mask and maintaining distance during the check in process. The guesthouse was very clean and had everything we could have wanted (I.e kitchen items, towels and cleaning products.) We wish we could have stayed longer and will certainly stay here again next time we are back in the area!

5 stars all the way

If I had known I would be staying in Fort Lauderdale at the beginning of a pandemic, with all beaches, bars, restaurants and stores closed, this is the place I would've chosen. The owners, Caesar and Tony, were incredibly considerate and friendly (from 6 feet away) and the property itself was beautiful. There's enough outdoor space so that I never felt like I was actually in isolation. And their pet turtles made it so I was never really alone. :) The house itself was spacious, clean and really lovely. Extra TV channels on a wide-screen, a comfortable bed and huge leather couch made staying inside entertaining and peaceful. And the kitchen was well-stocked with extras so, with a few quick trips to Publix, it wasn't necessary to order in for every meal. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for retreat in sunny Florida.

Perfect Home Away from Home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Caesar's and Tony's guest house at Wilton Manors in Fort Lauderdale. The location was ideal. Very close to I95, the beaches, restaurants and numerous golf courses. The property on which the guest house is located is lovely. There are maturely landscaped outside areas to enjoy with a river and pool in the back. Very peaceful. There are even two resident tortoises to keep you company or entertained. The guest house itself was very clean and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The bathroom is spacious and luxurious. The jacuzzi tub was a treat after 18 holes of golf. The wifi worked great and the TV offered various premium channels as well as the local ones. The bed was comfy and the towels and linens plentiful. What's not to like? We only met Caesar, but he was very accommodating and informative. We didn't have any issues while there; but if we had, I am sure Caesar would have been on them immediately. Had a super time and would highly recommend this charming guest house to all FL visitors.

Beautiful and peaceful place to stay

This place is truly a gem. The hosts were prompt and friendly. The house was clean, comfortable and felt VERY safe. The kitchen was stocked better than most. The bed was comfortable, as was the living room furniture. Although the bathtub looked amazing, it took about 45 minutes to fill to a decent level. Just plan ahead when filling. It was a great place and I was very sad to leave.

Exceptional find!

A wonderful property! We stayed for 3 relaxing weeks. The hosts, Cesar and Tony, were very welcoming. We know the area well, but they gave us many tips on cafes, shops and local hot spots that we were not aware of. Even ideas on things to do in Miami, and how to get to the train! The property is centrally located, but tucked away at the end of a very quiet street. A private cabana is available to relax outside, as well as lounge chairs in the backyard. We really enjoyed feeding their tortoises, T Rex and Dino. They are like little puppies who follow you around. We are snowbirds who regularly stay in Fort Lauderdale, so we will definitely be back!

Beautiful House, Exemplary Hosts!

I cannot say enough positive things about staying at Caesar and Tony's VRBO guest house. They were incredibly accommodating, without being in any way intrusive. The guest house was incredibly comfortable, well air-conditioned, and truly felt like home within a matter of hours. There are two turtles on the property, Dino and T-Rex, and I so enjoyed feeding them each morning. The location is ideal. Tucked away in a cute residential neighborhood, yet a 10 minute walk to all the local bars, shops, and restaurants of Wilton Manners. I entirely intend on returning to this rental next summer. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Caesar and Tony!!!

Private Riverfront Retreat

Wow...we cannot say enough about this great house! It is totally private with a seperate entrance and hosts who do everything to help enhance your stay. Tony warmly greeted us upon arrival and offered any help or suggestions for things to do and places to eat. Cesar stopped by on our last night there to meet us since he was working most of the time. They are terrific hosts who respected out privacy. The house is on a river with many great spots to sit and meditate. There is also a beautiful pool that guests are welcome to use. Two giant tortoises live on the property and it was fun to interact with them! Oh, there is a luxurious bathroom in the unit with a jacuzzi. Everything we needed or wanted was immediately available. This rental is a 10!

Comfortable, spacious, neat, clean, welcoming vacation "home".

I was pleasantly surprised at every turn; from soft, cotton sheets and luxurious bathroom and jacuzzi to the well-equipped kitchen, living room and bedroom. Lighted closet in the bedroom with plenty of full-size mirrors throughout. Full-size, high-quality Kitchen appliances, even ceramic knives made meal preparation easy and fun. The gazebo outside the kitchen door was a sweet place to enjoy meals while listening to and watching nature move about. Thank you for the most accommodating stay! Your place will be my choice when I return.

Top Notch Stay!

My husband and I stayed at Caesar & Tony's guesthouse for a week while in town for a work event. Our stay was top notch and definitely 5 star worthy. We have stayed at many VRBO rentals and this one remains one of our favorites for many reasons 1. Caesar and Tony went out of their way to make us feel at home stocking the fridge with initial grocery items including eggs and fruit from their own fridge as we arrived in town late Sunday night, 2. The accommodations were comfortable and spacious for two or more (it was HOT in Florida while in town and the AC works great.), 3. Their property and local scenery is breathtaking and Caesar and Tony allowed us to fish on their backyard dock where we caught (and released) many different species! And finally, 4. We enjoyed getting to know their friendly pets and viewing the wildlife present in the backyard. For those reasons and more you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't look into staying here! Thanks again Caesar & Tony! We hope to be back soon. Matt & Ashley

Romantic home away from home

We spent 6 lovely days at the guest house. Not being "hotel people" we are constantly on the lookout for unique, private, romantic accommodations. Caesar & Tony's Riverfront Guesthouse was simply perfect. Quiet, clean, spacious and close to everything Fort Lauderdale has to offer, we felt immediately at home and Caesar & Tony are wonderful hosts. We were a bit reluctant to leave our review because we want it to be available the next time we visit! However, this gem of a vacation rental deserves five stars and more...we look forward to our next stay. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Exceeded Expectations Thanks Tony & Caesar

I enjoyed 5 days of relaxation in this classy bungalow. Meticulously clean and all the amenities of home. The TV and Wireless worked perfectly and the kitchen is equipped for a gourmet chef! The grill outside the back door was first class and easy to use. The bungalow is more spacious than it looks in the pictures. I was traveling alone and felt very secure. I wish I could have stayed for a few weeks. Tony and Caesar are the best. Welcoming, friendly and eager to please and also respectful of privacy. This was my first time using a HomeAway option and it was perfect. I look forward to future visits to this unique setup. I already miss my morning coffee ritual and meditation out on the deck overlooking the river with the blue sky, puffy clouds and palm trees! Thank you Tony & Caesar for such a relaxing and recuperating experience in your bungalow. I look forward to seeing you again soon....maybe even this October Jane Z
