Discover a different side of Florida when you visit this bright and modern villa in the Nurmi Isles of Fort Lauderdale. Not known as the Venice of America for nothing, a network of canals surrounds the neighbourhood, giving way to a beautiful view from the firepit and the private swimming pool. Four bicycles are available and might be handy for a trip to Sebastian Street Beach, minutes away. It's worth noting that little ones will need supervision outside as neither the pool nor canal is fenced, but they can occupy themselves in the games room otherwise. Well kept and comfortable for a family getaway, and the karaoke corner is a nice touch too.

A Drop of Sunlight 

This grand Mediterranean modern coastal villa offers scenic waterfront tranquility. Relish in the canal views from the heated pool, secluded outdoor lounge area by the private dock, the double ceiling living room, chef's kitchen and ample bedrooms.

Nestled in the Coral Ridge neighborhood, renowned for its safety and family like atmosphere, the beach is just a six minutes Golf Cart ride away.

Enhanced cleaning practices implemented.

We love the lush garden and heated pool, and think kids will enjoy playing foosball and ping pong while the grown-ups sip cocktails in the shade. 

Cocktails on the Beach

And, as an added bonus, your host can help arrange bike rentals or street-legal golf carts to help explore the local area.

Melody's Lullaby

This elegant home will appeal to well-heeled travellers seeking a convenient Fort Lauderdale base. It’s in the middle of the Nurmi Isles, just off Las Olas Boulevard, so you can easily explore downtown when you're not hitting the beach – in fact, you only need to hop on a golf cart for four minutes to get to the golden sands. We think you’ll love the waterfront setting, the heated pool, and the hot tub, in addition to the outdoor lounge areas. Double-height ceilings, four-poster beds, and free-standing bathtubs add to the glamour of this lovely home.

This ranch-style Fort Lauderdale pad is the perfect spot to soak up Florida's endless rays. Heated swimming pool, sunny garden, alfresco dining area – it's got all the essentials for outdoor living. We also like the breezy and laid-back design inside, although two of the bedrooms would be a better fit for children. The location is also top-notch. Rent a street-legal golf cart and zip down to the beach in less than five minutes. Prefer to walk? It's only ten minutes on foot.

Desk / Workplace

Some homes are so extraordinary that they draw 'oohs' and 'aahs' from guests in every new room they enter — this stunning European-style villa in Fort Lauderdale is very much one of those. Inside, the twenty-four-foot high ceilings in the living space invite palatial comparisons and this continues when you step outside to the palm-covered heated pool area, which is reminiscent of a Roman emperor's abode. It's very easy to imagine careless afternoons drifting between the inbuilt hot tub and the loungers on the covered terrace close to the barbecue. If you ever want to up the ante at any point, there's a well-equipped gym with a cable machine, free weights, and core strength equipment, as well as a whole host of sports to play in nearby Holiday Park too, which can be reached in twelve minutes' walk. However, if you feel more at home just lazing about, the golden sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach are a ten-minute car journey away.

Family Fortress

You'll find this breezy home in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. It's part of a gated community and sits just an eight-minute stroll from the beach. Want to save some time?

It's filled with light, has a fun-filled games room, and features all the contemporary comforts you'll need – a carefree stay, indeed.
