I have never been to Ft. Lauderdale before and found this charming home to rent and wasn't disappointed at all. We only stayed for a few days but was perfect for my boyfriend, me, and my 13 year old son. The house itself was inviting and very comfortable and clean. All the sweet charm inside and out, beautiful foliage around the property and to be able to sit outside in the evening surrounded by beautiful trees and bushes was amazing. It is really close to the beach, some great shops and restaurants and the intercoastal area with the beautiful huge houses and boats. Only a few cons, which really were nothing at all... The washer didn't work, but we were only there 2 days so no biggie; the area wasn't the greatest, but I didn't feel unsafe. It was just a little bit run down of an area, however, like I said, the house was great and surrounded by lush foliage, so you are in a hidden oasis and not seeing the neighborhood. And the Internet worked best in the kitchen but not in the remainder of the house, which is odd because the house is so small and comfy cozy. All in all it is a great place to stay and we enjoyed ourselves immensely! And Kelley stopped by to make sure everything was good and was very nice and helpful. We would definitely go back and stay again!
