Riverside villa next to Down Town Ft Lauderdale

The property suited our needs and was close to where we needed to be. Restaurants and shops are close. Nice little backyard with a view of the river. The unit appeared to have been renovated recently. Very nice stay, I recommend.

Nice place to take a coffee in the morning front of the canal. Good place to relax.

I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but I feel it’s important to be honest for future guests. Unfortunately, my experience at this rental was frustrating due to poor communication and a major issue with comfort.First and foremost, the property did not have functioning air conditioning, which made the stay extremely uncomfortable. When I reached out for assistance, the host’s responses were delayed 24 hours and unhelpful.Good communication is key to a smooth rental experience, and sadly that was lacking here. Basic questions took too long to be answered, and there was little effort to resolve the issue or offer any alternative solutions.The space itself had potential, but without proper cooling and reliable host support, it was hard to enjoy. I hope future guests have a better experience, but I would not return or recommend this listing unless improvements are made.The ceiling fan in the bedroom cannot be used at night as it is wired to the recessed lights and you’re unable to turn them off. The bath mat was dirty. There was only one washcloth and at least one hand towel was stained. The bedspread was stained. The first aid kit had smears of blood in it. When we arrived one of the lounge chairs was broken and they did promptly remove. Arrival directions said to enter the “red” door which is clearly brown.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay overall. There were a few downsides such as one unclean dish we found, the brightness within the house and traffic at night, and the cleaning lady coming while we were there. But for our honeymoon we found it relaxing as we enjoyed a movie and sitting beside the canal and seeing the iguanas. Thank you again for letting us stay in your home!

This place is an absolute gem!!! We will definitely stay here again!

The listing says pet friendly, it’s not. They charged me an additional $500 for some so called damage and they couldn’t produce pictures. The neighbors started fighting/ arguing around 2:30 am every morning. It’s some kinda closed In carport addition to there house. The main a/c was frozen up the entire time. The back yard is a death trap with all the re-bar sticking out of the ground, and a hand winch holding up the privacy fence. The exterior receptacles had no GFCI or cover, and it looked like all the interior decor came from Big Lots. We had to park in the lot next to the property that was covered in knee high grass. It’s on Davie BLVD and we heard police and ambulance sirens multiple times. It’s not a quiet area at all.

This property was a nice place for the price. The road in front of the property is quite busy, but overall we were quite satisfied with our stay.

Stayed at this updated 1 bedroom 1 bath duplex for 3 weeks. Very clean and updated. it has a small kitchenette. Fridge, small sink and 2 burner stove top. Appliances and bathroom were modern and updated. The bed is a full size and very firm. The sectional sofa turns into a bed as well. Backyard is adorable and overlooks a canal with lounge chairs. All in all a very cute place. Owner was responsive when needed.

Although shown in the listing pics & mentioned in a previous review were NO bedside lamps. My sister & i are both nighttime readers. We took a round trip Uber to buy lamps at Walmart. The host was non sympathetic. The bed sheets were pilly & rough. There was only a fitted sheet for the living room couch, no top. No washcloths. Apparently there are beach chairs & other amenities available but must be requested 24 hours BEFORE check in, not sure how that is supported to work if not told in prior communications? Beautiful location though.

Stay and property manager were great. Would definitely stay again!

The unit was clean and comfortably air conditioned well equipped with everything I needed, and the relaxing atmosphere overlooking the River provided the perfect atmosphere to decompress. I shared my space with a couple of lazy iguanas who soaked up the sun with me. A far cry from the squirrels and rabbits I see at home. While there was no restaurants within walking distance, the proximity to local buses provided cheap transportation to the surrounding areas.

Pros: the location is very central (although not walkable) to many restaurants and locations in Fort Lauderdale, and the water feature was very very nice. Cons: There were no wash cloths available for use and no lamps (although it does show some in the listing photos). In the shower there is no place to set toiletries except for the floor. The location is on a busy street so you may hear traffic through the night, and the outdoor area is a shared space. All in all, none of the cons are dealer breakers just something to be aware of when booking!
