We loved our stay in this home! Very nice and the pool was great especially for the kids! It is in a good location- 20 mins from airport, 9 mins to Lauderdale by the Sea, and 5 mins to Publix. Vincent was great and checked in on us during our stay. Highly recommend!
Super clean, well organized property. You can find anything in the house you need. Vincent was in touch with you all the time! Highly recommended place! Will come back for sure!
Lovely quiet neighborhood. Easy to get to beach. Lovely house and pool. Great instruction notebook! Comfortable king size bed. Provided handy items for beach too!! Well stocked kitchen. A nice little gift basket when we arrived!! Thank you !

Clean, well furnished space, great backyard and pool. Nice spot to chill.
Perfect location, very convenient, clean, and affordable. All amenities are provided, and the pool was just right for a late evening swim. Beautiful neighborhood. The awesome staff (Mr. Vincent) is ready to help if need be. Any time I’m back in Fort Lauderdale that's where I’m staying.
Family of three, all 18 and older stayed for several days and everything was great, just as advertised. The three bedrooms were clean and well decorated. Beds were comfortable, no back pain! The rain head shower in the Master Bath was exceptional! Great pressure and water temp. The backyard stole the show for me! Four general areas to relax and chill was excellent! The pool water was warm and very relaxing to float and swim about in.
Great stay & would come back!

Those home was perfect. Clean, modern, cozy! Great, safe neighborhood. Heated pool which my kids and granddaughter loved. Very happy with our stay and everything about the home. Highly recommended. Walked to beach and town - it was that close!
We had such a wonderful and relaxing time in this professionally decorated home. Ever little detail was thought of, right down to all the cooking essentials. Vincent was on the ball, checking with us frequently, but not too much. Only suggestion, needs a Keurig (we love our coffee ;) And, TV streaming was slow (probably needs a WiFi extender). Plan on returning next year!

We had an amazing stay at the Marbella. Our hosts were easy to communicate with at all times. The house itself has everything you could need and more for a stay that feels like home. We enjoyed having BBQ dinners in the outdoor covered dining area, floating in the warm and clean pool, and we were able to walk to many amenities close by. We appreciated the ample parking and easy check-in. Would not hesitate to return!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Marbella. It is a very pretty home with a beautiful kitchen. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the bedding was quite cozy and of high quality linens and bedding. We also enjoyed the pool and backyard space. The whole property was clean and well maintained. The neighborhood was safe and had sidewalks which was helpful since we enjoy walking our dog. This home is close to many fun restaurants and close to the beach. All the staff were helpful with any questions we had! I highly recommend this home and hope to be back in the future!

This place was super cute for our girls trip of 6. We slept comfortably and everything was so nice and clean. The perfect pool setup, and outdoor seating areas, and even had extra floats. Everything was thought of, including beach towels, all needed kitchen supplies, extra laundry soap. It was only a 10 minute drive to the beach and cute shops. The host was quick to respond to any questions, and kept us informed of anything we needed. I would 100% recommend this property.

Reviewer Comments:
Generally, we enjoyed our stay here. The host was responsive and the amenities were great. The neighborhood was also nice and quiet wjile still being close to the highway to access other places. My only challenge was that I wish some of the issues were dealt with prior to our arrival. The most distracting of these was the lawn care which started (loudly) first thing in the morning. Once it was done, the lawn looked great.
My family and I just spent 3 weeks in this beautiful home. We cannot say enough about it. The grounds are beautiful, a real resort feeling. We did not get lucky with the weather to fully appreciate them.
The kitchen is fully equipped. They thought of everything. If I have one suggestion, it would be to get more dishes. We were 6 and there was a set of 8 and we ran the dishwasher often.
Vincent, the property manager, was a gem. He checked in regularly, to make sure all was good.
Checkin and checkout were seamless.
Location was excellent, close to everything including the beach.
An excellent experience! we would definitely return.

The vacation rental was in a nice area. Finding the home was pretty easy. My family and I got in late but the check in was seamless, this was just what we needed after a long day of traveling with kids. The neighborhood is peaceful and seems very safe: which is what we are used to. I appreciated the security system, especially for doors leading to the pool. The home itself was modern and clean; it looked just like the photos. The kitchen has everything we use at home; there was never an instance where we had to search for anything. The bedrooms were spacious enough for our family needs. We also appreciated the second sitting area to relax when the kids wanted to watch TV in the living room. There are lots of clean towels for guest and the pool. The pool was heated & there were pool floats and beach chairs etc. The kids couldn't get enough of the pool. There is a laundry room which came in useful as we do not like packing up dirty clothes. The host are also very courteous and responsive. Overall we had a good stay.

We had a wonderful week at this Marbella home over New Year’s. The house was very clean and well stocked with all the necessities, which made our stay easy and comfortable. We also really appreciated the welcome basket of goodies provided upon arrival—it was such a thoughtful touch. We loved using the pool daily and having beach chairs available. The home is decorated so charmingly and is a quick drive to the ocean and many nearby attractions. We would happily stay here again!
