While the location was perfect, the property could use some updates and upkeep. Pros: A/C very cold; apartment and beds were clean; all amenities are included; kitchen and bathrooms are nicely stocked; safe area; close to beach and restaurants; very quiet; great view.Cons: Kitchen appliances are old and need upgrading (Dishwasher is not cleaning properly and most of the numbers/buttons on the microwave do not work); The outside patio/balcony with the table and chairs is very dirty and needs a regular hose down before guests arrive; while the floors are vacuumed, they are not mopped so do not walk barefoot; the water level of the pool was low and it could have used a cleaning, likely because the skimmer was not working; there was very limited pool area furniture - while there was a large table under the yellow awning, there were no chairs. Also some of the chaise lounges had mesh that was breaking or ripped. On the first night I notified the host that the tv in the master bedroom was broken and she asked me to send her a photo.On the last night, after much rain, the apartment was swarming with termites. While this is usual for south Florida this time of year, it was concerning they were inside. We noticed some of the windows were not properly sealed and likely contributed to them coming inside.Bottom line- very nice property, but in need of updates and a good handyman.
We were blown away by the awesomness of this location. The owner was extremely responsive and willing to coordinate with our arrival time. Any messages sent to the owner were responded to within the hour. The VRBO itself was extremely clean and the decorations were fancy. The full kitchen helped with keeping meals in. The beach is literally a 2 minute walk (if that) from the front steps. Las Olas beach is walkable within 10 minutes. This location has no limitations! Very spacious and comfortable. We will definitely consider staying again in the future!
Kate was fantastic! She was very responsive and attended to all of our needs (âŠwe didnât have many as the property is in great shape.)
Would recommend the listing to anyone! Convenient to beach and downtown Fort Lauderdale.
The good:
The house is amazing, fabulous views. Wonderful location as we were there for the weekend for Audacy Beach Fest. Plenty of space for two families. Kitchen is stocked with everything needed.
The bad:
The host. When sending us check in instructions, she also sent a laundry list of items that we would be fined extravagant amounts for if we broke the rule ($200 for food or drink by the pool, $500 for loud music played in the house and so on). I also own a vrbo so totally understand the rules but the fines were a little overkill. Then the best part - around 9pm on the 2nd night, she sent us a message telling us she was going to tow our car! We had parked in the correct spot that she told us. So i wrote back and asked why and never received any kind of response. This left such a bad taste in our mouth and put a damper on the night.
The house is awesome but would be much better being managed by someone who wants to be attentive and helpful to guests rather than list demands and be unresponsive.
Easy walk to the beach but donât plan on sleeping in. There is construction next door and the very loud beeping starts at 8am and continues most of the day.
The air conditioning broke and after a million questions and a sweaty night they finally sent someone to fix it.
Unit is well equipped with kitchen stuff, soaps etc. The view is amazing, lost of space, but better suited for 8 not 10.
Room connected to the master is very musty.
It was beautiful, quiet, clean. Energizing, close to mothers home.
The interior đ pristine. Love this place. 1 suggestion is it pertains to the entry keypad. Please check the mechanics
The lighting on the keypad was blurred
