Lauderdale Home Away From Home
The home was clean, well equipped and located in safe environment. We arrived and were immediately impressed with the interior. Once we walked the exterior of the property, we were even more impressed. The pool, deck and bar area were used every day of our stay. The landscaping and lawn care was second to none. It really felt like getaway to the tropics. Definitely one of our favorite vacations thus far!

This property was perfect! We stayed with another couple. With two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms we each had our privacy. The backyard oasis was beautiful. You can tell they put a lot of work into making the backyard a perfect place to relax. I would definitely stay here the next time I am in the area.

Great Property with Comfy Beds!
My trip to Florida was to visit my daughter who attends Nova Southeastern University. We did not spend as much time at the house as we thought we would just due to our schedule. The location was great and the beds were very comfortable. We visited in December and I loved that the house had holiday decorations up both inside and out! The furnishings were very nice and the little touches like a snack basket, bottled water in the refrigerator and even travel size toothpaste and mouthwash if we had forgotten ours. The home was in a convenient area and we felt safe in the neighborhood (I only mention that because my daughter said some neighborhoods in Davie are not great). Unfortunately, we did not use the pool or hot tub only due to our busy schedule. However, we did venture into the backyard the first night just to check it out and it looked really nice. We would definitely stay here again.

beautiful and relaxing
The property was fabulous. The location suited our needs and we were very close to almost everything we needed. The apartment was very clean and well kept. The backyard was beautiful and relaxing. The property managers were very kind, thoughtful and had great attention to detail. The only complaint I had was the marketing. I assumed we were in a house by ourselves. It wasn't until later that I realized it was actually a duplex/apartment arrangement and the owners live onsite. Because we were using it for a wedding headquarters and we were the parents of the bride and so many people were in from out of state (including us) my preference would have been a home to ourselves because of the hustle and bustle of many people. It turned out not to be an issue as the owners are fantastic. We would definitely re-book here and had that conversation on our way to to airport.

Wow.....we didn’t want to leave!!
Just returned home from a fantastic couple of days in this villa. On our trip we’ve stayed in 4 different villas in various locations in Florida and this was head and shoulders above the rest. Sparkling clean and so well decorated/accessorised it immediately felt like home. The garden was the cherry on the cake. Like a tropical oasis with a warm lovely sized pool and hot tub. The garden was private, surrounded by beautiful palms and with a beautiful mural on the house wall which was painted by the owners nephew who was a lovely chap. The owners live on site in the attached villa and we met Jim who was very friendly and welcoming. The owners stay out of the way so we never felt we were being watched over. The only negative was that we didn’t book to stay for more nights. We would most definitely book again if we were to visit the area again.

A slice of paradise
What a wonderful place for a vacation! After leaving the cold of the north the Garden Home was a welcome and enjoyable place to stay. Check in was easy. Jim sent me the instructions before and all the information was easy to follow. The place was very clean and extrememely well stocked. Water bottles cold in the fridge and even snacks on the table for us. There were many beach towels and bath towels for our stay. Jim and Denise were very helpful in explaining how to use items and also about the area in general. The backyard is beautiful with the pool, hot tub and patio area. The landscaping is lush and very tropical looking. My college son and I went to the beach a few times and used the beach chairs and cooler that was available. The only negative I can add it that I don't think the photos show how inviting and lovely this house and grounds are in real life. You won't go wrong booking this location!

Like staying at Grandma’s 1980’s un updated house with a nice yard and a pool.
The reviews and proximity to my family (in town for a wedding) is what sold us on this property. When we got in the house, my first thought is they must have paid people for positive reviews. The house is old and not taken care of in any way. They must live off the profits and not put back into the property. Mattresses are easily 20 years old. You sink in almost immediately. The showers heads are original from when the home was built. They are nothing more than a mist. We went to Walmart the next day to get shower heads so we could get a decent shower. Freezer doesn’t work. Washer and dryer leave your clothes smelling musty, the dryer takes 3 cycles to dry kids clothes. All the linens and towels (mismatched) are musty smelling. Glad we brought our own. I asked for 2 things specifically which was a tea kettle and Keurig. Denise gave me a tea kettle that was rusted on the inside. Someone “tried” to descale the Keurig and left vinegar in it. I brewed coffee, added freshly brought cream and it immediately curdled. Smelled it and it was laced with vinegar. They are constantly watching you and texting you. We left the trunk open for a few minutes to unload groceries and got a text on if we knew it was open. They don’t allow guests to visit, like at a senior home. While I understand their concern not wanting their property beat up, we were on a family friendly vacation with kids and zero alcohol. So if you plan on having any contact with family or friends at the property they will text you and tell you go somewhere else. The owner Jim is constantly walking around like he is checking in on you. It is uncomfortable. They don’t have a separate entrance for you, they use the same pathway that you use to get to the pool. Which would be very creepy for most people, especially those with kids. The doors handles seem to be original for the home as well. My 7 year old got locked in the bathroom because the door handle sticks as of its locked. I emailed them more details on this stay in the hopes that they will make some improvements to this property for people on future stays. I would challenge Denise and Jim to live on this side of their property as a vacation renter would and see how they like it. Denise text me that I should let her know of any issues, there was too many to mention. Since this is your business almost all of these things you should already been aware of. But you just want to sit on the profits and not do anything to improve this home.
