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.

Outstanding property and host

The house was perfect for us. Plenty of room for a group of eight people, super clean, great location. The outdoor living space was awesome. Rolf is the best host I have dealt with in over 10 years. He really made our stay enjoyable, came by to check if we needed anything.

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.

Amazing House and Host!

We stayed with 5 adults and 3 children, ages 2, 5 and 7. The kids were in the pool or at the beach 12 hours a day! The house is magnificent, very extravagant. The kids said they felt like Tony Montana, LOL. We loved the back yard and that we could be in the kitchen and still be part of what was going on in the back yard and in the pool, you never felt separated from anyone. The Pompano Beach is great, not super crowded, family friendly and great sand. Parking always available, affordable and has a great app to use whenever you park. The downtown strip, though small by Florida standards, had absolutely everything we needed. The restaurants were great and varied, we loved Oceania on the beach for a little fancier dinner, The Foundry on the strip, off the beach with great outside dining and big tables inside. The Huston on the canal had the very best food, top notch. Our host was great, responsive to every request and every need. The giant portable speaker didn't work, I let him know and said I don't really care because we have a small portable speaker that works. within a couple hours, a brand new speaker was delivered to the house. The putting green in the back yard was a great distraction fo rthe kids when grown ups getting ready for dinner. We walked to the beach a couple times (had a stroller for the kids) and really enjoyed the walk. The Yellow Yolk was nice for breakfast on the strip. We rented a yacht in Ft Lauderdale for 4 hours one day and it was awesome! Great time!

AMAZING STAY WITH FAMILY!

My family and I went for a 3 night stay before boarding a cruise out of Fort Lauderdale. There were 9 of us, from 4 different families. We had plenty of room to stretch out in the house, everyone with their own space. The home is well equipped with everything we needed to cook and have a great time. We enjoyed our time by the pool immensely. I was very nervous about the pool and canal being so close to the home, traveling with an almost 2 year old. Rolf set up the gate around the water before our arrival so I felt completely safe with my toddler being in the backyard. We swam and played mini golf, watched TV outside and had the best time. It was hard to believe our trip was going to get any better when we boarded our cruise after check out. The home has additional baby items that were super helpful as well- several pack n plays with sheets, high chair, etc. Highly recommend!!!

Family trip

This house is exactly as described. The sheets were beyond soft and the beds comfortable and abundant. The ice maker in the entry way came in very handy. The pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen and space were amazing with more than enough towels for everyone. The washing machines and dryers were very useful. The kitchen is stocked with stables which is very convenient. There was construction going on next door but was never an issue, don't let that turn you off. We very much enjoyed the activities at the marina across the canal. Rolf was available for assistance when needed but not intrusive. We will be back and look forward to staying here again. Pleasure to meet you Rolf.

Best vacation home!

My family and I stayed at Rolf’s home for a week this month(December) and had the BEST stay. This house is seriously stunning and there is nothing it doesn’t have!! If I couldn’t find something, Rolf was just a quick text or phone call away and was incredibly accommodating throughout our stay. The outdoor area kept us entertained all day everyday. Pool, hot tub, putting green, grilling station.. I’m telling you he’s got it all! We had one baby with us and Rolf had high chair and pack and play. The house was clean, well furnished, and stocked with everything you need for comfortable stay. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks for everything Rolf.

Amazing Family Getaway!

The Mediterranean Retreat exceeded our expectations in all ways possible. It was so clean on arrival, and Rolf was there shortly after our arrival to take us for a tour and show us everything we needed to know. The house was outfitted with some baby gear, including pack and play, high chair, booster seat, and a baby gate around the pool which was incredible. It acted as a big playpen since it also blocked access to the docks when the kids were playing. Between that, the putting green, the kitchen opening to the patio where we ate ALL our meals - it was absolutely perfect for kids. Rolf was very responsible to all of our needs during our stay. We were able to do an everglade airboat tour 30 minutes away which we highly recommend. The beach is a 30 minute walk, but we did it most days. There was a playground, splashpad, and ice cream shop at the beach that the kids almost liked more than the beach itself. We made pizza on the outdoor pizza oven which was absolutely lovely, we had coffee on the upper terrace to watch sunrise, and happy hour on master bedroom deck. I can't recommend this place enough! Thanks Rolf and Ingrid!

About the host

Hosted by Rolf Kraus

Host profile image
My name is Rolf and I am the owner of this property. I was born in Germany, but have lived in Florida for over 30 yrs. My family and I lived in this home for many years and my son grew up here. I strive to be a good host and my goal is to ensure guests feel at home on the property and enjoy the many amenities, especially in the back yard as I have had a hand in building most of it.

What makes this property unique

How many properties have a 5-hole putting green? It's been a wonderful addition and has proven to be a lot of fun for golfers and non-golfers alike!
