Over 150 Five star reviews. Original Florida Beach house steps from beach

The 'Ultimate Beach House' is the perfect house for a beach getaway or family reunion . Our house is a one of a kind beach house built in the early 1960s and was remodeled in 2014 and is unlike any other house in Ft. Lauderdale. Voted best beach house in Los Olas on the beach. It is a "5 level" beach cottage that has 6 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, dining room with seating for 12, living room, and breakfast area with seating for 4. There is a great bunk room downstairs for the kids that sleeps 4. Also downstairs is a huge hangout area with a big screen TV, pool table, and a pull out couch that turns into a king bed. We have a 24ft beautiful Swimming Pool with a small water fall. We have an out door seating area and beach chairs for 13 people. It can sleep 12 to 19 people comfortably. Everything in the house was remodeled in 2014 from the floors to the windows to the two 80" big screen TVS, pool table and new furniture. But this is not your fancy white wall new house. The house is an Fort Lauderdale original house that is full of beach personality and spirit.

We are located perfectly close to everything. Most importantly we are only 97 steps from the beach. We are 2 miles from Los Olas blvd, 1.2 miles from Galleria mall, 1 mile from Target, 1.2 miles from Publix grocery.

When you rent our house you will get our ' How to enjoy Ft. Lauderdale Book' This is a book of all the best restaurants, movie theaters, fun things to do, Nightlife locations and all those secret places only the locals know about.

We have everything you need for the beach I including 10 beach chairs , beach towels, beach umbrellas and a cooler.

Our goal for you is to have the best vacation ever. Renting our house is not just a house rental, its a decision to not just stay in a normal house, but in the Ultimate Beach House!!!!!

Spacious house in a great location. It is exactly as described and photos are 100% accurate. The place was exceptionally clean and ready for guests. The large pool is a plus for days when the surf is too rough or sargassum decides to show up. Our family group of 8 had a great time. We would certainly return.

Great House!

This was our third spring break in the Ft Lauderdale area and this was the best house yet. Very roomy for our group of four adults. Short walk to the beach. We spent a ton of time at the pool and really enjoyed the house in the evening. House had everything we needed and the neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Leo, the property manager, is fantastic and a pleasure to deal with. Overall, a great house!!

Beach House vacation

This was one of the best vacations we took with family. We had 9 adults, everyone had the perfect space. The house was big enough where everyone felt comfortable. It was perfect for walking to the beach. When everyone had enough of the beach we walked back and relaxed by the pool. Perfect place, would do it there every year.

Great Week

We had a great week with family. Perfect for 2 separate families to stay under the same roof and still be able to have some private time when needed. The pool a with the close proximity to the ocean gave us the feel of an ocean front condominium but having the benefit of multi room house. Our family “beaches” all over and this property stands out as one of our favorite places. Fort Lauderdale is great and we would love to recreate the experience down the road.

Overall Pleased

For a home built in the 1940's its a pretty nice home, but it needs some love (maintenance). But it was perfect for my family on 9, we all enjoyed the stay and the home has some niche areas that we all loved. We would go back for sure.

Amazing Family vacation

We came to celebrate with my 89 year old dad and our 5 year old grandson. There were 10 of us and plenty of room! There happened to be a monsoon ( 10 inches of rain!!) and we lost power for a day. The host was AMAZING and sent a care package with everything we needed.. ( including wine!!) House was beautiful and very well stocked with everything you need ( pans-plates-dishes..ect) The ocean view from mammoth dining room table was awesome. Would 100% return -Side note- we have never stayed at a VRBO property that was SO awesome about heating pool.. was a definite plus as we have one at home and keep it around 87 degrees and this felt the same! Leo - the caretaker was a absolute gem to work with and VERY responsive!

Great Time

The house was great - its location was very close to the beach - its a busy street, so may want to make sure the kids are with adults, but if you have a patience (wait a minute or 2) you always find an opening. The space was amazing, very beach like feel - and lots of space - enough for our 3 families. Pool was great - kitchen fully stocked, The area had just about the worst rain/hail storm I've ever seen - and there were a few leaks in the roof (which was apparently newly installed) - we are pretty easy going so didn't bother us - we put small bowl and moved on - The owners were concerned so I think they will fix it - but felt I needed to mention - we didn't care at all. I'm not a good reviewer - so I will just say this. The place was gtreat, our whole group loved it. Yes, maybe some minor things that were not 5 star (grill maybe., a kitchen cabinet, the roof) but all minor in my opinion and didn't matter. We would stay there again with the exact same condition and be happy as can be. I only mention this because some people are complaimers about every little thing.....

Beautiful place but a few things could improve…

We loved the location and the house was great but while we were there we had some issues that never were resolved. The pool really dirty and we asked for the property manager to send someone to clean it but it never happened. There was also a stopped up drain upstairs that I called about fixing but they never sent anyone to do it. We could tell there was some wear and tear on the place as well when a piece of the dishwasher fell off, a piece of a shower in the downstairs area fell off and there were bumps and knocks all over the place. You could tell things need to be updated and addressed but they have not. When “Julian” walked us around the property on arrival, he was pulling sheets and blankets off of furniture and trying to uncover porch furniture because it had not been done beforehand. Seems like no one has been in this house for a while to look over issues and update things that needed attention. While our overall experience was a good one. For the amount of money it cost to book this, I would’ve thought everything would be in perfect working order and all issues fixed and addressed quickly and smoothly.

Perfect Vacation

We had the most perfect vacation because of our stay at this perfect beach house! The house itself is beautiful. The location is unbeatable. It is steps from the sand. The pool is perfect. We spent many hours in it cooling off and playing with the kids. And the house has everything you need- including so many thoughtful finishing touches for people traveling in with airline luggage restrictions. And the beds are unbelievably comfortable! It truly was a dream vacation and we can’t thank you enough! We’re already looking forward to our stay next year.

Great property. Well represented in description. Both owner and property manager were very attentive. Took care of any additional needs.

Perfect Family Get Away

Our family of 11 - 6 adults and 5 children under 10 had a fabulous stay. Besides the location being ideal - only a short walk to the beach - the house was perfect. The living space was super comfortable, the kitchen was great and the bonus of the heated pool, beach chairs and supplies were all excellent.Thank you to Ashley and Doug

Needs some TLC

Location was wonderful. Place decorated nicely and had everything you could want. Unfortunately, the pictures as shown on Vrbo were probably taken when it was new. The place shows a lot of wear and tear. Large enough to accommodate a large group. Called property manager when we arrived late to say coffee pot missing from coffee maker. Next morning brand new coffee maker was outside door. That is great service. Overall good stay but not best property we stayed at.

Best Vacation House

From the moment we landed the house manager was in contact with us. They actually got us in earlier for check in which was nice surprise. The house was even better in person! It has anything you could think of needing from pots, pans, our own pool, pool rafts, beach chairs, towels, coolers, canopy for the beach and beach stroller! We were a party of 10 and had tons of room to spread out. Very clean! Absolutely perfect for us Moms and our daughters. Definitely planning our next trip with the girls here next year!
