Waterfront vacation rentals in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

Thank you for providing an absolutely pristine rental! Raul was absolutely wonderful in answering our questions at check-in. PERFECT LOCATION to the beach!!

Denise was an amazing host, one great aspect about the stay was the the binder full of resources ranging from quality restaurants to amazing services. Would definitely come back again.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming duplex and it was beautifully decorated. The location was perfect—close to supermarkets, local shops, cafes, reétaurants and beach, making it very convenient to get around. The neighborhood itself was quiet and safe, providing a relaxing environment. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to cook my meals. The bed was very comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The bathroom was clean and well-maintained, with all the necessary toiletries provided. Overall, I was glad to have found this place and I would stay here again.

Jason’s place was a great stay! Absolutely recommend staying here is you ever come to visit! So close to the beach, many great restaurants, wonderful community!

We had the most incredible stay at this luxurious studio near the beach! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the comfort and style of the space—but what truly stole our hearts was the breathtaking view of the lighthouse, visible right from the window. It was like something out of a postcard, especially during sunset. The private beach access was such a treat. We loved it so much that we ended up going down there several times a day—so often, in fact, that we actually lost the keys! Thankfully, our host, Amy, was absolutely lovely and incredibly understanding. She handled the situation with such grace and kindness, which made us feel completely at ease. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with unbeatable scenery and a genuinely warm host, this is the place. We’re already dreaming about our next visit!

Highly recommend this place! We loved everything about our stay, and Deniz went above and beyond as a host. Perfect location, close to everything but tucked away on a quiet street and right on the river! We loved sitting on the dock watching the boats go by, and the easy walk to the beach. The water taxi even picked us up right at the property! We also enjoyed the pool, shuffleboard, and renting the nearby B Cycle bikes to explore the area. The unit was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We messaged Deniz to ask if there was a blender somewhere and she had one delivered within the hour. Slept great every night. There’s nowhere else I would stay in Fort Lauderdale!

Overall it was great, the view and access to the beach are really what make this place worth it! Dawn was responsive and made the check-in process smooth and easy and provided a lot of information. Very walkable to the the main tourist pier area. My in-laws and their friends enjoyed their stay. The only complaint they had was that the restroom needs a lock. Definitely needs some updating and the building directly behind is a bit of an eyesore but it is worth the price for the private access to the beach alone and how welcoming Dawn is.

I checked in late at night. It was so quiet and well maintained around the complex. A beautiful mansion was lit up right across the water and I had to stop and take it all in. As soon as I walked inside the bnb the house was all lit up for me and it was nice and cool. Everything was clean and beautifully placed. I’m a very picky girl. The shower is beautiful and the water pressure was perfect. Now to the best part. The massive king sized bed! It smelled like bleach! Omg I was in heaven! Memory foam and the best pillows I’ve ever slept on! David was so attentive with checking in on me! Also gave amazing instruction on how to check in and out. I felt safe and very relaxed. Would definitely stay again!!!

This was my second time staying at Manatee Manors with my pups and it was every bit as wonderful as the first time! The home and backyard are so beautiful, peaceful and comfortable that it feels like home away from home. (The new hot tub was a great addition!) Chandler and Catherinne are the kindest and most thoughtful hosts; they’ve thought of everything you could possibly need for a wonderful time at home, or exploring the area, and are always quick to answer any questions and make sure you have a great stay. I highly recommend their home for anyone looking to stay in the Fort Lauderdale area. It’s the perfect place! I look forward to returning! Thank you for everything!

The overall experience was great and would stay there again. The house is in a great location. It was updated, clean and had the amenities we were looking for in regards to bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and backyard. LOVED the backyard! Pool worked great and the host was accommodating when we wanted to turn the hot tub on. The AC worked great and kept the house cool during the hot summer days. All appliances worked with no issues. We did have a small issue with the fans and lights in the rooms. All the remotes were missing. We ended up finding the one for the living and dining room but never found the ones for the bedrooms. They were set to low and could not adjust them. I let the host know and they ordered new ones right away but did not make it in time for our stay.

Our stay at this beautiful canal-front home was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean and well-maintained everything was. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing and fun vacation. The pool area was a highlight—so peaceful with stunning canal views, perfect for morning coffee or evening swims. The game room was a great bonus, keeping everyone entertained with plenty of options. The location was fantastic, offering a perfect mix of relaxation and easy access to nearby attractions. The only issue we had was that the sauna did not work. The host was very responsive and tried to have someone fix it, but it never heated up. Our stay was only 2 days, so I didn’t bother having someone come again to work on it. Regardless of the sauna, we would absolutely love to come back and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a memorable getaway!

Everything was great! Looked just like the photos but even better. Very clean and beautiful house.

I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described in the listing. The bed was super comfortable, and I appreciated all the thoughtful touches like extra towels, coffee, and local recommendations. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, with great restaurants and shops within walking distance. Communication with the host was smooth and friendly—they responded quickly and made sure I had everything I needed. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

The house is absolutely amazing! Great location, lots of space, beautiful outdoor space. Definitely will stay here again.

House, pool, and neighborhood were all great! Short walk to the beach, which was not crowded, despite being spring break. The town center of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea was also easily walkable, about 10 to 15 minutes, and we also walked to Kaluz, which is a restaurant on the inter-coastal. There were a few missing items at the house, which Charlotte promptly addressed and replaced. Showers had great water pressure, too, and there were more than enough towels. The house was certainly big enough for our two families (four adults and five kids). The only thing I wish would have been more clear in the description is that one of the rooms with two beds was clearly converted into a bedroom, and light/noise came directly into that bedroom via the open fireplace and frosted glass doors from the adjacent living room and kitchen. However, all in all, we had a great trip and would stay here again!

We had a terrific stay this week in sunny Florida. MJ’s home was perfect for entertaining our 4 adult and 4 kid group. The backyard was perfect for outdoor living - from the pool to the water views to the tv and fire table, we spent 99% of our time out there. Beds were all so comfortable and with a washer and dryer, being able to travel home with clean clothes is always an added bonus. Plenty of entertainment inside for the kids also with the game room in the garage. We can’t wait to come back!

Being a host ourself we can see both standpoints. Chad, is top 3, the best host and home we have stayed in. I spend my birthday here, rented it hours prior to arriving. We had a major switch of plans last minute and Chad was extremely accommodating. Not only did he respond 30 seconds after we messaged, his home was beautiful. When I first got to the place I didn’t think it was going to turn out to be as beautiful as his home was. It is a block away from the beach, he had two beach chairs, beach towels, washcloths, extra blankets, sheets, etc. We didn’t need it but had a vacuum and washer dryer. The views were incredible, relaxing. The parking situation was great, right in front of the home. I went with my one year old son and it was perfect for him. He had anything you could possibly have thought of, he was responsive, communicated how we were doing. I will most definitely be back, wish we could have stayed much longer. Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us Chad.

Luci was an incredible host and her space is beautifully located on the residences side at the W hotel. We will be back! :)

My stay was for a solo get away and this space could not have been more perfect. The private outdoor space and beautifully equipped indoor spaces made it easy to safely and comfortably unwind. The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and the beach. Being able to borrow the beach chairs, umbrellas and towels made it even easier to enjoy my stay. I would highly recommend this space for anyone looking for a place to with luxury, comfort and convenience.

Loved my stay! Me & My Fiancé will forever book this unit! So peaceful so convenient! So close to everything! Valet services was everything! I’m obsessed!

The place was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Everything and more was there for us. We literally didn’t have to think about a thing. They even had a full fridge of refreshments and snacks set out for us. They responded to my messages in seconds and were beyond accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect place :) stayed for work trip loved the ocean view so relaxing to hear at night and close walk to pool and beach very convenient! Plenty of towels, blankets , pillows, comfy bed, blinds blocked out sun, kitchen worked perfect had pots and pans utensils, blender, plenty space in apartment ! Overall loved staying here and AMAZING communication with host made me feel secure and know what to do when checking in and getting key fob , was PERFECT would love to stay here again with my family next time !

My 2 daughters and I had a wonderful stay at Alican Penthouse. The place was spotless, tastefully decorated, and had all the essentials. The view from the balcony was breathtaking, especially at night. It was a peaceful escape with restaurants, spas, gyms, hot and cold pools on site but still just a 10-minute drive from the restaurants , beaches, clubs, shops and malls. Looking forward to another visit.

Great unit, worth the price. No issues and clear and quick messages.
