Kids and teens will love the games room, with its multi-use pool and ping pong table, and for a relaxing spa experience, the main bedroom boasts a Jacuzzi bathtub. Within walking distance of the home, you’ll also find a variety of restaurants and peaceful Birch State Park.

We love this home for its setting – right on the waterfront in Seven Isles – and for its style. It’s an elegant home with chic decor and all the comforts you could wish for on holiday. The games room is great for kids, and the outdoor space is sure to appeal to all. Along with a heated pool, there’s a lovely outside lounge with canal views and dock access. Head out fishing and grill up the results on the deck. The beach is only 1 mile away, and you’re also within easy reach of the restaurants, shops and galleries of downtown.

This show-stopper of a home is ideal for large groups. It’s spread over three floors with a lift to make it more accessible, and there’s heaps of room for everyone to gather together. We love the two-level living botanical greenhouse, which is a wonderful spot for special events. The home sits on the waterfront with a dock, so as you soak up the sun in the heated pool or hot tub you can watch boats pass by. There’s a sense of exclusivity here, yet there’s something to appeal to everyone, from the wine cellar to the sports bar. 

Sunshine Magic

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 

Access to Beach

Ideal for families, this lovely home can be found just a one-minute walk from Fort Lauderdale Beach. It’s split between the main house and a guest house, which offers a touch more privacy – it would be ideal for grandparents or a couple. The convenient location just off the A1A makes it a practical base for exploring Fort Lauderdale, but there’s also plenty to keep you entertained at home. 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

This villa puts you just a ten-minute walk from the beach, shops and restaurants of Fort Lauderdale. Outside, the tropical garden is the star of the show. The heated pool is perfect for soaking up the sunshine, while a covered dining area is just the ticket on summer evenings. With huge windows framing views of the garden in the living area, you'll gain a sense of being close to nature when spending time inside, too. For a smooth sailing start to your stay, your host can help arrange bike rentals or street-legal golf carts to explore the local area.

It’s close to the beach and just a two-minute walk from restaurants and boutiques, making it a convenient base from which to explore. If you’re like us, you’ll spend most of your time outside, soaking up the Floridian sun in the garden.

Inside, you’ll have lots of room to spend time together, whether you’re cooking in the chef’s kitchen or playing card games in the den. 


Tranquil Shore Retreat

Stay just a short walk from the beach, bars and restaurants of Fort Lauderdale at this family-size villa. The home encourages hosting and entertaining, with a private tiki bar, convertible table tennis, swimming pool and hot tub, allowing you to spend quality time together inside and out. There's also a dining area equipped with a barbecue for supper at home, but if you don't feel like cooking, there are plenty of dining options on your doorstep. 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. 

The Floridian Dream

Parking On Premises

This home can be found in a quiet neighbourhood on the Nurmi Isles, and boasts waterway views. From here, you can stroll to Las Olas Beach and also meander Downtown – it’s a convenient base for sure. It’s an elegant home with a gorgeous outside area. We love the heated pool with a swim-up bar, in addition to the loungers and shaded terrace for alfresco dining. There’s even a private dock, ideal for boating or fishing. Inside, there’s plenty of room for everyone to gather together in the open-concept living space. We love the double-faced fireplace and the high ceilings, not to mention the incredible bathtub in the main bedroom’s en-suite.

Blushing Peach

A stay in this home promises to lift the spirits thanks to its close proximity to the beach. You can spend blissful days lounging by the ocean (beach gear is provided), and it’s just minutes to some of Fort Lauderdale’s best restaurants and shops. And when you’re looking to escape from it all, there’s a private heated pool for leisurely swims and a grill for slow-paced evening meals. Inside, the rooms have been inspired by the fresh tones of the coast and there’s all the home comforts you could need to settle in. 

Be the Peace

Located in the private Harbor Beach neighbourhood of Fort Lauderdale, this luxury villa epitomises the area's sought-after lifestyle. Firstly, the villa's location just steps away from the beach, shops, and restaurants calls for a convenient stay. Then, its laid-back ambience, surrounded by tropical greenery, will put you in that holiday mood from the moment you arrive. With luxury furnishings dedicated to comfort and functionality, while outside, the heated swimming pool and outdoor kitchen offer an outdoor living set-up that makes the most of the Florida sunshine.

A Little Sunset on the Waterfront

This duplex apartment is spread over two floors and sits within a holiday complex on the waterways of Fort Lauderdale. Guests here have access to a shared swimming pool and barbecue area. Explore the serene canals and riverways by kayak (free to use) from the complex’s dock or perhaps rent a bike to take in the town on two wheels. The beach is close by too and you’re host provides equipment for days on the sand. At the apartment, you’ve got a private terrace for sunset meals outside and a light-filled living room like a 1960s entertainer’s pad inside. The gourmet kitchen should keep culinary enthusiasts happy and there’s a dedicated office off the main bedroom for those working remotely.  

Who Is Love to You

Single-Level Home

A private dock on the canals of Fort Lauderdale and your own swimming pool by the waterside – this cosy cottage is ideal for boaties and waterbabies. If you’re not exploring the area by kayak, boat or paddleboard, you can rent bikes and go by land. The home is Floridian ranch-style – pretty as a picture and all on one level. The open-plan living, kitchen and dining room is a social spot for the group to gather inside and there’s an additional breakfast nook for morning coffees. You might prefer to dine on the patio outside, though, in the near-constant Florida sunshine.  

Orange & Sand

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. Your host also provides four bikes and some much-appreciated beach gear, including chairs, a cooler, and a cart.

Sunshine With a View

On one of Fort Lauderdale’s serene waterways, guests here have access to a shared dock to explore by paddleboard, boat or kayak. There’s also a shared swimming pool and barbecue area within the complex. The home is made up of four self-contained suites, each with its own kitchen and living room. The main unit has a glorious mid-century-style living room and gourmet kitchen, plus a dedicated office for those working remotely. A private terrace provides a spot for al fresco feasts, particularly atmospheric at sunset when the sky streaks mauve. It's a short drive to Fort Lauderdale's beaches and beach chairs, a cooler and a beach cart are provided.

The Surf's Horizon

Just a minute from the beach and the Intracoastal Waterway, this sun-kissed Fort Lauderdale pad is your ticket to easy coastal living.

With the Water Taxi stop nearby and restaurants at your doorstep, this is laid-back living with everything you need at a stone’s throw. 

Sandcastle Retreat

Access to Gym / Spa

Part of quiet and restful resort, this bright one bedroom apartment is ideal for couples in search of some time in the sun. Though designed for two people, the suite offers plenty of space to stretch out – the large, well-furnished living area flows into a refreshingly expansive kitchen, where you can cook up meals to share at the communal outdoor dining table. This outdoor area leads on to a wonderfully relaxing heated pool, as well as a private dock for embarking out on the local waterways by kayak or charter. If you can bring yourself to leave your sun lounger, Fort Lauderdale Beach is a ten minute drive away, while an hour's journey west brings you to the edge of the Everglades.

Peaceful Waterway

Security Cameras

There’s so much to love about this Floridian home. With plenty of space for everyone to spread out, it’s easy to spend time with loved ones or find a private corner for some quiet time here.

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

Coastal Daze

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.
