If you have an other option, take it. I would recommend this place as a last resort. We stayed in the house for three weeks, and I will provide my feedback as objective as possible.
Cleanliness - Dirty.
As per Owner, he had planned to flip this house. You can imagine his interest in repairs and housekeeping. House was dirty. Owner said few linens were washed, and asked us to wash others. We washed those, and in the night when the kids went to sleep, they found that there were lot of crumps on their linens. We had to wash and dry all linens way past midnight. I don't consider myself as cleanliness freak, but if you are stay away. Potty had grime everywhere, since we had to stay there, we had to clean those. Ridiculous!!! We also found underwear next to couch!! I can go on and on, but this should paint a picture on cleanliness.
Provisions - Little to None.
In all of our previous stay's thru Airbnb, Owners had provided utensils, china, and enough kitchen and toilet towels for our entire stay. Infact, they went above and beyond by putting goodies for kids and us to have. This place did not even have bathing soaps (all used by others), No shampoos or conditioners, Paper and toilet rolls (1 or 2 of each). We were here to stay for three weeks, and this is how it was provisioned. I had to run the following morning to publix (luckily it is close) to stock all of the essentials. I used to think, it is Airbnb's policy for owners to stock necessities like the hotels, but looks like it is not. With this experience, I have now even more gratitude for the previous owners. Sometimes you have to experience the worst to know the value.
Communication: Ok.
Owner stayed away as much as possible, and we did not reach him for any issues. On the day before last, owner called me and asked me to clean the house for which he was willing to pay $50. I was flabbergasted. As part of our payment, we have paid for cleaning services, and our expectation was to find it clean and here we are told by the Owner to clean it else he will write a bad review. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I don't want to put any judgement here, but I did not feel good.
Location : fantastic.
Owner had no contribution in this, except for owning in this place. Location is good with community swimming pools closeby, canal behind the house, parks and publix (grocery) close-by. Fort Lauderdale is a fantastic place for vacation and we all enjoyed.
After this experience, my kids are begging me to stay in a good hotel next time and not be bothered by all these issues.
