Enjoyed our stay. The property manager was very responsive. This house is in a historical area and daily walks were interesting and property not far from shopping areas. The house is quaint, the backyard could use an update but the rest of the house is nice and comfortable. Great Wi-Fi and TV with apps. Overall it was a win!

Nice litttle House
Small 2 bedroom house but has everything you need for 5 people. Modest house but quite if you want to rest. 5 min away from Las Olas Beach and 10 min from Fort Lauderdale Airport. I will remove the carpet from under the patio table in the back yard. The previous guest left the beach chairs outside and they go dirty so we couldn't use it but is not the owner' fault. Everything inside the house looks good and is comfy. You have smart tv internet and AC. We had a great time.

Vacation stay
The Inside of house was pretty well kept, however, the outside was not cleaned whatsoever and was not useable. I had my six year old with me and part of the reason I picked this place was for a little outdoor seating for her, so I was a little disappointed.

Had a fantastic stay at Lesa's Retreat!
Went for a long weekend with some girlfriends (all fully vaccinated) for a fun, socially distant getaway! Had a fantastic time! The location is great - it is a quick drive to the beach, lots of good restaurants nearby, and very close to the airport, which was convenient since we arrived at different times. Easy, contactless check in and check out. The little neighborhood is cute and safe. Slept 5 people comfortably. Very clean with all the amenities you could need, including beach towels and an umbrella. Had a cute outdoor patio that we had drinks on at night with a grill!

Ideal location, worked great for a family of four
We had a wonderful time in FLL. The weather was amazing, which hasn't always been the case when we've visited FL in the winter/early spring. The location worked well. We enjoyed walking to the Riverwalk area more than once and the beach was only about a 15-minute car ride away. The property was clean and well furnished. We appreciated the use of the beach towels. We didn’t notice the beach chairs until our final day, but we got along fine without them. An addition to the property to consider: small cooler (maybe there was one available -we didn’t look closely). We have two teenagers and had requested an air mattress so each would have their own bed. Craig made sure our request was fulfilled. He was responsive and willingly accepted feedback when it came to property improvements and/or considerations. Overall, we were very pleased with our accommodations.

What's not to love?
Our stay 's purpose was a reunion with our naval officer son whose ship was in port. The house was a perfect location. It had two comfortable bedrooms as well as a very well appointed living room and kitchen/dining area. The kitchen was well-equipped and the hosts offered a number of special touches like a welcome bottle of wine, snacks, supplies of coffee, tea, sugar and cream, etc. They also provided an extensive welcome book giving not only info about the neighborhood and house but also about the TV remote. In our experience, trying to figure out how the TV works can often be a headache so that guide was much appreciated. Every renter should do it! We would chose this house again.

Awesome!
I had some trouble with another property upon arrival to Fort Lauderdale and chose to relocate to this property. I was incredibly satisfied with everything from the welcome gifts to the info guide. Craig and Judy go out of their way to give you a great experience. Super quiet neighborhood with quick access to the local area and very easy to get around town from. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to stay in the Fort Lauderdale area. Thank you Craig and Judy for everything. Keep up the great work!

Perfect Weekend Getaway!
Myself and two friends stayed here for MDW and had an awesome experience. Judy and Craig couldn’t have been more accommodating and were quick to respond to any questions we had. The place was clean/comfortable and within walking distance to some bars and restaurants. The beach and other hot spots were only a quick Lyft/ Uber away. I would stay here again and would definitely recommend their place for your stay in Ft. Lauderdale.

Quiet neighborhood, nicely appointed property.
This a comfortable apartment size property that is well maintained and has all the basic amenities. I spent 9 days here and had a very enjoyable time. The neighborhood is quiet but is close to some very active areas that included access to many restaurants. The beds are very comfortable, bathrooms in good condition, and a kitchen that had all the utensils and pots/pans to cook 2 meals a day without any problem. There also is a gas grill just out the back that could be used if you are feeling inspired. TV and internet were high speed and reliable the entire time I was there. All in all a very nice experience.
