Oakland Park Oasis

We won't hesitate to rent this home again. It is simply lovely, well maintained and stocked, well laid out, and spacious. The beds are comfortable and clean with plenty of linens. Serene is the word that keeps coming to me. The former tenants left the garbage cans in the drive, and from what the helpful neighbor told us, filled incorrectly, but the owner was pleasant and prompt when I let them know the situation. Instructions were clear for check in and out. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. If in doubt, just book it.

Family vacation

House was very nice in a quiet neighborhood!! Description was accurate. The pool was great, the back yard is beautiful!! Master bathroom could use some hooks to hang towels or clothes on. The sliding doors to go out back need screens. There was no check out requirements, usually when we stay somewhere they ask for things to be done before you leave. They also don’t let you know when lawn or pool people coming by. It felt like the ocean was a further drive than 10min, that was disappointing!!

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. Everything looked new and it was well appointed. The tropical pool area was wonderful. Our only complaint is that there was no information about trash pickup days, outside lighting, or checkout procedures ie, laundry expectations, etc.

Dissapointed, primary criteria not met

Our primary and critical criteria was an outdoor heated pool. As the pool heater was not functioning, we were unable to use the pool. This was especially impactful, as the weather was not great, allowing only a short time on the beaches. A fully functional, heated pool was a key expectation. On day 2 we were expecting it to be fixed as the pool chap conveyed he would return with a compression pump. Subsequently it became apparent that the heater required parts that would take 3 days to order. We were advised that the heater was working the day prior. We felt the water on arrival and it was freezing (i.e. had definitely not been heated a day before). The existence of shot glasses and wine glasses thrown in the plants, a child’s diaper placed over the security camera, a broken mirror in the yard and the fence broken, clearly indicated that the outdoor area had not been checked. (photos provided). Added to which I believe only one of the outdoor lights was working. Of course, this was extremely disappointing and had a significant, negative impact on our experience. Another surprising issue was the lack of lighting in front of the house. While most other houses were well lit at the entrance, this particular property was extremely dark at night.
