Fort Lauderdale Vacation Rental chalet

My husband and I are thrilled with this property...and with the home owner, Rosemarie! We are from the Midwest but we are very familiar with this Galt Mile area of Fort Lauderdale. We've been coming to the area (for both business and pleasure) for years, but in the past we had always stayed in hotels and motels. We started to look for something quieter and with more charm, in an upscale residential area. But I was hesitant since I had never booked a property on the internet before.
This property is all you could ask for-and more, and if you like to walk, this location is great. It's the closest street to the ocean with very little car traffic-mostly friendly walkers and bike riders. You can spend your days on the beach, and walk to a local night-spot for dinner or drinks. Whether you arrive by car, or by taxi from the airport, this house is located within approximately two miles of everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. You'll find grocery stores, restaurants, bars, mass transit connections and even a water-taxi system of transportation! (The water taxi is a MUST for first-time visitors! It's an economical and leisurely way to see the beautiful homes along the IntraCoastal Waterway.) There is so much to do in the area, and Rosemarie will give you tips to help you make the most of your stay.
The house is spotless, and beautifully decorated. Each of the four units have various cooking amenities, depending on which room you book. (Rosemarie will help you pick the right one for your needs.) Whether you're a gourmet cook, or you just want a refrigerator, a coffee pot and a microwave, this house has a perfect room for you.
The beach location is the best! I carry my cup of coffee to the beach in the morning to watch the sunrise...it's a sixty second walk! And I can't tell you how many books I've read-both in the beautiful courtyard of the house and at the beach--my idea of the PERFECT vacation. We loved it so much last year that we are just finishing a month long stay this year! We now consider it our "other" house...the one with the beautiful ocean just steps from our door!
Rosemarie is the PERFECT host. She thinks of everything you might need to make your stay enjoyable. She provides secure wireless high speed internet, beach chairs, a coin laundry and a beautiful courtyard with a deluxe BBQ grill. Thanks to HomeAway we found "our" great house at the beach...and a new friend in Rosemarie!
