Amazing vacation home for family

The house is beautiful, better than the pictures. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything, not just the essentials. The backyard and pool are an oasis of privacy and fun with lush greenery all around and all the amenities to enjoy the sun and outdoors.

January 2023 Stay

Great weather , great house, great location. The perfect place to escape the cold Northeast. We spent the month of February here in sunny Fort Lauderdale and we couldn’t improve a thing about our stay. The house comes with everything you could want or need. The neighborhood is quiet and ideal for bike riding. My wife says it’s perfect for someone who works from home. We plan on coming back next February. David was a joy to deal with and communication was excellent.

Wonderful escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second time using Florida Stays and as usual, our expectations were exceeded. The house has everything you need and many details you would want but not expect (high quality pans, knives, great towels, super soft sheets, etc.). The home is spotless and well cared for. The pool and hot tub offered the perfect oasis for us to rest and relax. You will be close to everything but able to enjoy the peace and quiet of the residential neighborhood.The hosts are lovely, not obtrusive and available for anything you may need. Their mobile application hosts tons of recommendations that were super helpful.I highly recommend staying at any of their properties and know you will not be disappointed!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great experience at Serendipity! The back yard is perfect to just relax and enjoy the pool and hot tub and grill food and hang. The kitchen is fully equipped. Every time we needed something we found it! There were a few tiny issues (bathroom light didn’t turn off, some backyard string lights didn’t work), but that was made up for by all the other great features. TVs in every room, big comfortable couch.

So relaxing!

This was by far the best rental I have stayed in so far!! The home was so clean and stocked with every home essential you would need. My family and I really enjoyed our stay and would love to come again another time! My kids loved that each room had a smart TV, this gave us some down in between swimming and traveling around the city. most importantly I truly appreciate the management team. We had a problem with spa heat but they came out immediately and Leo was so kind and thorough!

Pleasant stay at 1950s Beach Bungalow

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second booking with Fort Lauderdale stays. We had a pleasant stay at this property but I enjoyed the first property that we stayed at Christmas much better. The home was clean and had all the amenities that make Fort Lauderdale Stays a great rental property. The pool and spa was great and the location of the home is centrally located. My only complaint about the house was the pool pump was difficult to access to turn on the spa and it was located up against the house which made it noisy. The tub in the main bathroom needs to be resealed, if you have kids unable to use it and there needs to be extra sheets accessible in the home. The furniture feels second hand and the patio set outside- metal benches is uncomfortable it’s needs cushions or a real outdoor patio set. We had a couple of hiccups during our stay but they were promptly handled with the property management. I still would highly recommend Fort Lauderdale stays they provide a excellent service and make you feel like they want you to enjoy your vacation when your with them.
