South Florida Tropical Escape

In the heart of Fort Lauderdale

Just minutes from beaches, dining, shopping, and nightlife

Are you ready to experience this amazing South Florida Tropical Escape in the heart of Fort Lauderdale?  Newly renovated and with all new furnishings, this vacation home combines hotel luxury with charm and coziness that is difficult to find anywhere else.  Yet, the best part is the lush and private backyard with an abundance of sun, ample shade, and an inviting pool with tranquil waterfall to satisfy all of your relaxation needs.

In November 2018, we completed a full renovation and refurnishing of our 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home to make it as comfortable and inviting as possible. Over 1,500 sq ft gives plenty of room to spread out and relax with family, friends, or both.
