The home had everything and then some we needed, was very close to many options - airport, restaurants, stores etc. many things to do including relaxing by pool and onsite games, grill etc. I couldn’t ask for a better stay, my family look forward to going back.

2025 Fort Lauderdale - Tropical Getaway

For the past 5 years, my wife and I, both in our mid 70's, travel with 2 small dogs annually to the Fort Lauderdale area to escape the cold New York weather. We stayed at the Tropical Getaway this year for a month - 2/12 - 3/12. Yamil and Erica are fantastic hosts. The checkin was flawless and we were greeted by a few bottles of wine and several snack for both my wife and I and our puppies. The house was perfect - just as shown in pictures. We had one son and his 6 year old visit for 4 days and my brother and his wife overlapping for 6 days. The accommodations were perfect. The video games hit the spot for both the adults and the 6 year old. The heated pool is perfect. For me, it was the highlight of the premises -- I swam almost every day. As a family we all enjoyed the pool. After these guests left, another son, his wife and 2 year old came to visit. Having the portable crib on site was great! To say the toddler enjoyed the pool is an understatement!!There is a lot to do nearby. Parks (which the toddler loved) , beaches and of course restaurants. After visiting Fort Lauderdale beaches a few times, Yamil recommended Hollywood Beach. THIS BEACH IS PERFECT!!! A beautiful beach, a beautiful boardwalk. We never went back to Fort Lauderdale beaches.Thank you Yamil and Erica for sharing your home. Our family had a great time in Fort Lauderdale. As next year approaches, and God willing, we will seriously consider your Tropical Getaway for 2026!

Nice Vacation Getaway

Communication with the host was an A. Ran into a minor issue checking in but he was extremely quick on resolving the issue. Pictures of the place were exactly as advertised online. The surrounding area is a bit rough but never felt unsafe there. Loved the arcade games within the house Would stay again if I’m in Ft Lauderdale.

Wonderful Stay - Highly Recommended!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming vacation rental, and it exceeded our expectations in every way! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the cleanliness and attention to detail. The property was exactly as described in the listing—spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities we could have possibly needed.The kitchen was fully stocked, allowing us to cook several meals with ease, and the comfortable living area made it perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the local sights.The location was ideal—quiet and peaceful, yet just a short drive away from all the attractions we wanted to visit. The outdoor space was another highlight, with a lovely patio and pool where we could enjoy our morning coffee.The host was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. They provided helpful recommendations for local restaurants and activities, which made our trip even more enjoyable.Overall, this vacation rental was a perfect home base for our getaway, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended!
