Fishing Dock & Canal Views: Fort Lauderdale Home!

My stay didn’t go how I expected. Pool wasn’t cleaned. My daughter and grandkids bed sheets were dirty. I had never had a code for the front door, even I asked several times. When me and my family went out, we had to leave the front door unlocked because we wouldn’t have been able to get back in the house, and also we didn’t know how to lock the door without the code or the key. Which wasn’t really safe at all. I will never refer friends and family to book that house. NEVER

beautiful area and the house layout is very nice for a large group. communication with owner somewhat spotty, slow to return texts even with issues. the house is air conditioned however the biggest room has a portable air cond, way undersized and do the the temps it makes the room almost unusable.. back patio area was dirty, cob webs, dust etc. and the interior was a bit dusty. We neverless had a great time. The biggest issue was that thwt portable air was plugged into an extension cord and burnt the brass plug end off the corb and burnt the a/c electric outlet. When I called her she offered to bring another cord however this unit is not supposed to be pluged into an extension cord. Big fire hazard.!

When we arrived, we started looking around and noticed the whole place was not very clean. We had to clean the kitchen as well as the dishes that were in the cupboard. We changed the furnace return filter because it was filthy. The main bathroom smelled like pee. There was not enough pillows, so we had to go and buy some for our stay, which we left there. The washing machine door does not stay shut during cycle, so we put a stool in front of it to keep the door closed. The pool is not heated and was not warm enough to swim in. The owner did come and fix the garbage disposal, and brought a few more supplies, but it took three days for a response because she said I texted the wrong number. But I had received this number prior to my stay informing me to use it. We found only 1/2 a roll of paper towels, one kitchen garbage bag, no hand soap, and only two rolls of TP per bathroom. Not enough for 13 people for a week! We also saw a few cockroaches in the house. The pots and pans and kitchen utensils were not adequate to cook, so we had to eat out every day. The front door lock code was hit or miss whether we could lock it when we left. A few times, we had to lock from the inside and go around back to get out. The positives were that the beds were comfortable, there was plenty of space for all of us, and the wifi worked well.

I would definitely love to stay in this house again.

This home was absolutely beautiful. It was even more than we were expecting. The yard was gorgeous and the home was spacious and modern. I would highly recommended this home for persons desiring to take a family vacation.

Nice comfy house, very nice yard and pool.

Let me say the house was beautiful , but not kept clean ,and besides that went we gat to the house all the garbage can was full ,that was a indication that no one clean ,they charged you money for cleaning and is not clean, the house was 80 in side, finally we discovered that air conditioning wasn't working ,owner send a repair man,but could not be fix,she send to 2 portable air conditioning for this big house, you can imagine ,that didn't work , must off the room did not gat cool, can you imagine getting dress for a wedding , because that's is why we was there,hope the company knows what family go true went the rent this home finally hope the company given us some money back for the inconvenience

I love the house alot of space, the only issue was the drain in the showers the water wasn't draining we have to wait like 10 min. In order for other person to take a shower. But overall its nice.

I was not the first one to the house, but when part of our party got there right at check in time the owner showed up shortly after. She gave one of the guest a package of light bulbs and said she knew some were out, but she didn't know which ones so we could change them ourselves if we found them. I thought this was odd, but it should have been a sign that things were going to get worse. The ceiling in the living room had a huge water stain on it, and the house had a strong musty smell. So much so that I had to go to the store and buy air fresheners. When we commented on the stain she said she was hiring painters to cover it up. Hours after we all were there, the ceiling started leaking by the stain. I messaged her right away, she replied about an hour later that she would call someone. The next afternoon I hadn't heard anything from her and we had emptied the pitcher it was leaking into 4 times. This was not a slow leak. She told me to turn the air off and that someone would come the next day. I said no because I had a baby in the house, she needed to do something sooner. So, someone came out that afternoon. We stayed at the house to be there when he arrived. When he went up into the attic it made the entire house smell like mold. I wouldn't be surprised if there was black mold up there. We were all stuffy and coughing every morning when we would wake up. He flushed out some things and added freon. Two days later it started leaking again, even faster. It took two messages and several hours before she responded, we had plans to go out for dinner, part of our group stayed back to again be there when he arrived. I'm not exactly sure what he did on this visit. Then on Monday we woke up to a green pool. I had to text her again, she sent a pool guy out. He said that the pool had had a lot of issues the week before and a little more still had to be done. We couldn't use the pool for 24 hours because of the chemicals he needed to add. He ended up needing to come back three days in a row because the filter on the pool was too small for the size of the pool and kept getting clogged. He was the one that told us that she had multiple rentals in the area and that he serviced them all. We ended up leaving a day early, and when I messaged her and told her this and asked if she could refund the price of the last night since we had had so many issues she did not respond.

We stayed 6/05/17-6/10/17. The house was beautiful (same as the pictures). It's in a great location close to stores and the beach. We had a family of 11 and we fit just fine. There was plenty of room for everyone. The owner responded to my messages very quickly. There was no mop at the house and she brought one the same day we arrived. Although the house had 4 bedrooms, there was only a TV in one of the bedrooms and the control was missing so we couldn't even change the channels. The house needs new pots and pans, the ones there were very old. There was only one cutting board and it was ready for the trash. The outdoor grill is very small and for a family of 11 it took a long time to cook our meals outside. We also saw what looked like a huge roach. We only saw it in the house twice so maybe it crawled in from outside. Other than that, my family enjoyed the vacation house.
