Nothing but 5 star reviews for this comfortable, private studio 5 min to Wilton Drive, 15 min to Ft Lauderdale Beach. Peaceful and quiet when it's time to relax, just minutes to beaches, parks and nightlife when it's time to play!

Here are just a few recent reviews of our 5 star property:

“My best advise is to book now!!! This was the best short term rental experience I have had in 32+ stays and it makes me think of what a true short term rental experience consist of when it first began.”

“Super clean and beautiful outdoor space. 10/10 would stay again.”

“Staying here was like coming home but with a slice of paradise in the outdoor space. The backyard felt very private and we used every amenity to its fullest. Lisa and Tim were so friendly and created a peaceful and welcoming environment. We are hoping to stay here again next year!!”

“Words cannot describe how lovely our stay was! Lisa & Tim truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and appreciated during our stay. Everything was perfect. The pool and hot tub were gorgeous, the room was immaculate, and the tiki bar and outdoor shower were lovely. Can't wait to be back!”

"Lisa and Tim went above and beyond for us during a spring break vacation. Fresh towels and pool toys were placed out and if we needed anything for the beach, (towels, umbrella, cooler), that was available as well! Very happy with this stay and highly recommend it for others!"

We live on the property and with many years in the hospitality profession we can make your stay with us in Wilton Manors / Fort Lauderdale memorable. Or if you prefer, we can stay completely out of your way and respect your privacy. It's your visit, and our goal is to make it special.

No outside guests--max 2 persons on property at all times.

Smoking or vaping are not allowed indoors or in the pool or hot tub.

Because the pool and hot tub are not fenced, the property is not suitable for children or infants.

A complete guest guide will be in your room describing house policies and amenities, places to go and see, recommended restaurants, location of nearest beaches and casinos, wildlife viewing opportunities, etc.

You will have our phone numbers for call or text. We live on property so we will be able to help as much or as little as needed throughout your stay. Most of the time we are available to personally greet you upon your arrival and are happy to do so, however this is not required and keypad self check-in is available if you prefer.

We are in a quiet residential neighborhood surrounded by parks and lots of activities, home to both young professionals and retirees from all over the country as well as people visiting on vacation. The streets are often busy with friendly people walking their dogs, jogging or biking.

Although the neighborhood itself is quiet, we are just a few blocks from the vibrant nightlife and daytime shopping of Wilton Drive; less than 15 minutes to the shops and restaurants of Ft. Lauderdale Beach, downtown Ft. Lauderdale and Las Olas Blvd; and less than 30 minutes from other great beaches such as Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Dania Beach, and the Hollywood “Broadwalk.” Being within a couple miles of I-95 means we are an easy day trip to the Palm Beaches to the north (40 miles) and Miami / Miami Beach to the south (35 miles).

We are 10 minutes (3 miles) from DRV PNK Stadium (home of Inter Miami FC) and just 10 miles from the Port Everglades cruise ship port.

Two state parks and numerous regional parks are within 15 miles. The main entrance to Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve are less than 70 miles away, however you do not need to go that far to experience these iconic wilderness areas; we are happy to show you many places much closer where you can experience airboat rides, alligator/wildlife viewing, bird watching, fishing, and hiking.

Mickel Park, which recently underwent a $1.6 million renovation, is two blocks away and open to the public during the day. This beautifully landscaped park features outside workout stations, a running/ walking path, a sand-volley ball court and several covered pavilions for picnics and other outdoor activities. Several nights a year the city hosts outdoor musical concerts under the main pavilion. There is also a public electric vehicle charging station.

Don Eisele park, located on the middle river (one of the bodies of water that makes Wilton Manors the “island city”) is also within walking distance and features multiple park benches nestled within a canopy of shade trees and a dock that provides views of the middle river. There is also a canoe / kayak launch. This park is also open sunrise to sunset.

Within a mile or two is a Publix grocery store, Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks, Aroma Joe's, 24-hour 7-11, liquor store, CVS and Walmart drug stores, and many other stores, restaurants and bars.

The City of Wilton Manors operates a Circuit ride share service that will take you from our property to anywhere within the city.

We are happy to recommend local beaches, bars, restaurants, shopping areas, or more distant day trips both tame and adventurous. Your hosts are ling time residents of south Florida, and we are just as comfortable sitting poolside as we are fishing the local waters or hiking knee deep in the Everglades, so we are able to recommend activities to fit any preference. It’s also possible to spend your entire time on the property without going anywhere else and have a great, relaxing south Florida experience!

GETTING AROUND ONCE YOU’RE HERE:
There are lots of Uber and Lyft drivers at any time of day or night in this area and they are very easy to get, so ride share is all you'll need if you plan to play and explore locally (Wilton Drive, Ft. Lauderdale Beach, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Las Olas Blvd.) Cabs are also available. Wilton Manors also has CIRCUIT which will take you between any two points within the city of Wilton Manors. As of this writing the cost is $2.00 per passenger per trip. If you plan to visit the attractions not so close, however, you might want to consider a rental car. You could also look into the Tri-Rail or Brightline trains; these run north and south between Miami and Orlando with multiple stops along the way. If this is something that interests you, please make sure to check Brightline or TriRail directly, as schedules, routes and pricing change.

GETTING HERE:
Ft. Lauderdale International Airport is about 15 – 20 minutes away and is served by the usual ride share, taxi, and private limousine services that can be found at any major airport. Miami International and Palm Beach International are each about 30 – 40 minutes away by car, or you might want to use the Brightline Train or TriRail to connect from these airports to the Ft. Lauderdale Train Station. If this is something that interests you, please make sure to check Brightline or TriRail directly, as schedules, routes and pricing change.

We are also located less than 5 miles from Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport, which serves smaller airlines / airplanes and private planes.
