Great place and great pool!!

We had a wonderful time at this home. My kids (14, 12, and 3) loved swimming in this heated pool. The house was clean and across the street from a park. I would definitely stay here again!

Fun family stay

We had plenty of room for family to stay in the comfy bedrooms, a nice big kitchen and dining room, an awesome cabana by the pool with games. It’s in a beautiful neighborhood near a school and a Publix. Fun octopus theme. It’s great for little family get-togethers. Definitely coming back!

Great PLace for a Family Gathering

The property was perfect for our needs -- plenty of room, comfortable beds, great location for kids with a great and safe park across the street, a walkable neighborhood close to shopping and the beach. We highly recommend this place. The Owner was responsive and easy to contact -- as well as pleasant to deal with on check in and other details.

Family vacation

Our family consisted of 5 adults and our 11 month old grand daughter. This house was perfect for our family, it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was especially convenient it included a playpen and high chair for the baby. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans, utensils and cups/glasses. The only thing missing we would have like was a BBQ. We really appreciated Nate for his quick responsiveness and accommodating us on any issues we had. We loved the heated pool especially for our grand daughter! We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing staycation

I have a townhouse in north Broward and needed a place for my 3 girls and some of our friends to host a weekend of relaxation and celebration of 2 graduations and one 21st birthday. This property was perfect! Well appointed and full of charm. The host, Nate, has thought everything. The fully equipped pool cabana was a great surprise and perfect for setting up snacks and sodas for the young folks. The back yard and pool are a dream. When you first pull up, the exterior is unassuming at best. But when you open the door, a beautifully renovated and updated interior awaits. Just beautiful and unique. The Octo theme is amazing. Nate is an easygoing and helpful host. I almost felt like I made a friend. I highly recommend this wonderful gem.

Friends weekend

We had a wonderful stay in Hollywood, FL. The owner of the property, Nate, was extremely responsive to the questions that our group had. He even offered suggestions for a nice steak dinner at a local restaurant. The property was very clean and modern. We spent quite a bit of time in the back yard around the pool. I would highly recommend this property!

Hollywood vacation

The house was great for our famoly. Everything that we could need was there. The pool and cabana were a huge hit with the kids. Beware of mosquitos in the evenings, we got bit up the first night but go some outside stuff that kept them at bay for the other nights. I missed the part of street parking but we were still able to park in front of the house. Just becareful because the roads to flood a little whennjt rains hard so it makes it a little difficult. Otherwise the place was clean, stocked a d the neighborhood was great.

Perfect House

This house was great! The location was amazing. It is a 5 minute drive to the beach. We got alot of use out of the park across the street. The house is well equipped with a basketball, tennis equipment and a soccer ball. We spent 2 of our days chilling at the house. The pool area is very relaxing and it was so convenient having a bathroom/kitchenette in the cabana house. The arcade game and second living area is also in the cabanna house, which made it a perfect hang out for the kids and a good spot for those of us who wanted to stay up late without disturbing anyone who was asleep. The house was plenty big and had everything you need. Would definitely stay here again!

Hollywood / Ft Lauderdale Girls Trip

This was the perfect stay for our girls trip! The cabana really put the house over the top. It was nice to have 3 full bathrooms since we had 7 girls total. Everything inside and outside of the house was very well thought out and clean. The house feels like it’s brand new. There was plenty of room for everyone, we had a few nice meals around the large dining table. The location was great, we had a minivan and went to dinner on Las Olas Blvd twice. It was about a 20-25 min ride. The airport was less than 15 minutes. Publix, Walgreens, liquor store were all less than 5 minutes away. The park across the street was very cute and if you have kids it’s perfect! I kept saying my 5 year old daughter would have loved this house and the park across the street. Nate was great! He was very responsive if we had any questions. We will absolutely be staying here again! Can’t wait to be back in sunny Hollywood Florida!!

Solid, but met with disappointment

In our search for a rental, we had 3 priority filters: 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms & A pool. Based on the description, which listed 3 bathrooms, there was no other reason not to believe that all 3 bathrooms were located in the house. And so, this was not questioned. Our son and daughter were to each have their own bedroom and bathroom. However, this 3rd bathroom was located outside the house, in the cabana. We felt that the description was not clearly portrayed. If a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home had been advertised, we would have continued our search. Our other priority was that of a pool. While yes, we did have access to a pool, there was a higher expectation for cleanliness. Immediately upon entering, we were met with so much black ground-in dirt on the steps. The appearance of the inside of the pool looked as if it had not been cleaned in quite a while. Seeing this every time we entered the pool could not be overlooked. The most disappointing feature of the past week was that of the bed/mattress in the master bedroom. For 6 consecutive nights, every turn, every roll and every movement was accompanied with annoying creaking. We recorded a short video on our very first night. Our nights were frustrating & unpleasant. This is what we endured with for 6 nights. My wife was extremely dissatisfied with our sleeping experience. Not at all indicative of relaxing sleep while on vacation.
