Photos and Description of the Fort Lauderdale vacation house rental
2 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, Sleeps 4 Comfortably! Plus Pool Side Cabana.

Welcome to this Stunning Las Olas House: This 2 bedroom, 2 bath well appointed Mediterranean Home with ultra private pool is located right off Las Olas Boulevard, the main, upscale shopping district in Greater Fort Lauderdale. What a location this is! The home is nestled in the oldest neighborhood and directly east of downtown Fort Lauderdale. Not only can you walk to the best shopping and eating in the city, but the free beach trolley to our world famous beaches picks you up one block from the house.

There is also a pool side cabana with bath .

Things to do: We hear all the time from our returning guests, the best thing, after a fun filled day at the private pool, or day at the beach is walking to the finest restaurants and shopping South Florida has to offer. You can literally stroll to a different restaurant each evening. Italian, Greek, French, Sushi, Mexican and American Continental establishments are a 2 minute walk from your front door. Numerous bars and night spots also adorn this popular thoroughfare.

Don't feel like dining out some nights?? Then walk to the Mediterranean Market just a block from the house, and make dinner for your family and friends. Our well appointed kitchen comes with new granite counter tops, new stainless steel appliances, and, of course plenty of cooking and dinnerware. The house has a private dining room, and an outdoor dining table snuggled into a private patio. This is by far the best location to be if you want everything from one location with our without a car.

This home is well appointed with a 60 inch plasma screen, cable TV, wireless internet, security alarm, luxury bed linens, comforters, and even a personal computer. The 3rd bedroom is a cozy private bungalow next to the pool. Sleep with the doors open and listen to the water drip down your own private waterfall. This used to be our private home, but after a total renovation, we have now converted it to a high-end vacation property.

As a local family, we are available to answer questions and provide a variety of recommendations. Here are some of our favorite things to do near the house. Bike to the beach, walk the weekly green market on Sunday, catch a show at the world renown Performing Arts Center, site see on the water taxi, visit Colee Hammock Park on the New River, and shop the wonderful boutiques on Las Olas. This is the perfect for a couples get-a-way or family vacation.

GETTING AROUND:. One of the special things about our location is that is it literally in the middle of everything. You can get around quite easily from the house in a variety of ways. The house is a 5-10 minute ride from the airport depending on traffic. It is a perfect location for a family who is not renting a car.

As we said before, you can walk to Las Olas, the main shopping district, with lots of great stores and fantastic restaurants. You can learn more by searching in your browser las olas boulevard.

Second, the Sun Trolley picks up a block away from the house, and services from downtown to the beach. It is a fun way to get around town. You can search Sun Trolley, Fort Lauderdale. Finally, Fort Lauderdale has a water taxi service. This also picks up a few blocks from the house and services all of the intercoastal. You can search watertaxi, fort Lauderdale. Four bikes are also available as part of the rental.

I also live here should you have any issues. The house is a wonderful Mediterranean style home. It is cozy and has a wonderful upscale feel to it. The location is fantastic. I hope to meet you soon on your next vacation to wonderful Fort Lauderdale!

David Packard purchased this house in 2006
Why David Packard chose Fort Lauderdale

Location. Location. Location. Beware of other rentals that say they are close to the action. This is the real deal. The house is in Colee Hammock the oldest and quaintest neighborhood in the city. I love the house because of the pool, and that one of the rooms is a bungalow next to the pool. You can't believe you are in the middle of downtown! You can just walk to so many places!!! South Florida is a great place to be and a great place to vacation.

This proved to be the perfect vacation home. My husband and I took our daughter and son-in-law with us and despite the age difference it pleased all of us. They slept in the cabana and loved their privacy. The pool's waterfall lulled them to sleep and gave them the feeling of being in paradise.

We can best describe this home similar to a home in Europe. The ivy covered walls outside, the French doors leading from the rooms to the pool and the style of this gorgeous home gave it a Mediterranean flair.

The location too was perfect. The kids hailed a golf cart for the short ride to the beach for $3.00 each and enjoyed the sand and surf while my husband and I were content to lay by the pool with its lovely setting.

We took the short walk ~literally around the corner~ to Las Olas nightly for drinks and dinner~lots of great restaurants, bars and shops. What fun is Las Olas and oh so beautiful at night. I can't recall the name of the Mexican restaurant in Las Olas but you'll recognize it due to the crowd of people. They have wonderful margaritas.

From the moment we stepped in the door we knew this would be one fantastic vacation. Very clean, very nicely furnished and very very up to date. I cannot make ONE negative comment about this property. We highly recommend it to families, couples and a friends' gatherings.

Thank you David for your hospitality. You were wonderful! The pool man came to clean the pool during our stay and even he was fantastic.

I would most definitely recommend this property to any and all. Trust me when I say it truly is a paradise.

Again I thank David and staff for a fantastic week in Fort Lauderdale.

Peace of Mind

Submitted: March 29, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Because we had 4 girls ages 17 through 19, safety and local transportation was extremely important! This beautiful home located within the quaint, upscale area of Las Olas gave us a "peace of mind" when the girls traveled back and forth from the beach and shopping areas. David and his group made sure everything was perfect concerning our stay and then left us alone! We had all the confidence that they were only a phone call away. Two of the girls loved staying in the outdoor cabana and the other two loved the front room with an exquisite outside balcony. You could open windows and doors and enjoy the day both inside the house and out! I recommend a vehicle but it is totally possible to enjoy your stay without one. We will be back....GUARANTEED!!!!!

This home was perfect! From the interior to the exterior, I couldn't have asked for more. I stayed in the house with five other people and it was great. The kitchen was brand new and one of the bathroom's was really modern and cool. Also, the location of the home was awesome. It's walking distance from the downtown area and really close to the beach. The homeowner provided two bikes, which made the ride to the beach very easy. Overall, the home was great and I would definitely recommend anyone visiting Fort Lauderdale to stay there.

Very clean, tasteful, fragrant, beautiful interior and exterior! The house is right on Los Olas Boulevard the most tourist visited spot in Ft. Lauderdale full of shops and restaurants. Beach is about 5-10 minutes ride from the house. Trolleys drive by every half of the hour and are 50 cents/person per ride (exact change a must.)
We were very satisfied with the house amenities and management service. Beds were very comfy, kitchen had all appliances needed, wifi internet available, house overall was very well maintained.
We stayed in November and were not able to use the pool, which was about the only downside during our stay. The pool is not heated and gets very little sun during the day. The backyard is secluded, full of tall tropical plants which creates a very intimate atmosphere. There's a waterfall at the pool, which is so pleasant! It's a nice touch!
We were very pleased we our stay!
Owner's Response: Thank You for taking such great care of our home and for the nice review it's appreciated , you and your family will be welcomed back at anytime !

Our little family just got back from this fabulous property. Todd was very friendly and helpful. The location is fabulous and you can do a lot without a car. Las Olas boulevard is seconds away with a lot of restaurants and boutiques. Beach is not very far from the house and the neighborough is very safe.
All you can think about for your dream vacations is right in the house. Appliances are like new; a lot of space in the kitchen; main bathroom is gorgeous, pool is very beautiful and backyard has everything you need to relax. A perfect house and a perfect location. We will be back for sure!!!

Nous sommes de retour de cette charmante maison. Todd nous a réservé un chaleureux accueil. La location de cette maison de charme est parfaite; tout près de Las Olas et de ses restaurants et boutiques. Secteur calme et sécuritaire. La maison est très bien équipée. Les appareils ménagers sont comme neufs, beaucoup d'espace de rangement, magnifique salle de bain, superbe cour arrière avec belle piscine. Une maison parfaite, un secteur parfait. Nous retournerons bientôt c'est certain! merci...

We just came back from a visit to this charming and masterfully restored 1920's bungalow home. The pool with it's waterfall and landscaping was so delightful we found it not necessary to be at the beach everyday. The location was perfect for dining and strolling along Los Olas Blvd. and do not miss the Italian bakery, Grand Forno, around the corner. We were 2 couples and the house was well suited for that. You can tell that the owners lived here and had paid every attention to detail . We found this so relaxing we are looking forward to our next visit.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your kind review. We so enjoyed having you at our house. Yes, the italian bakery around the corner is fabolous. If the wind is blowng in the right direction you can smell the fresh pastries being cooked...a wonderful way to wake up. Please come to Las Olas house again. We loved having you.

I stayed here for the entire month of November, which is a lovely time of year in South Florida. It was like staying in a mini, luxury resort. The house exudes relaxation and comfort and the sound of the waterfall in the pool, just outside the master bedroom lulled me to sleep each night. The kitchen set up is sensational, though I preferred to walk to Las Olas where the endless choices of restaurants and bars never disappoints. And you can’t beat the location. It’s close to just about everything you want to do. If you go – see the city by water taxi. Amazing. And stay at this house. Charming. There's not enough stars in the rating category.
