Outstanding property and host

The house was perfect for us. Plenty of room for a group of eight people, super clean, great location. The outdoor living space was awesome. Rolf is the best host I have dealt with in over 10 years. He really made our stay enjoyable, came by to check if we needed anything.

Best Host Experience Ever

We rent as a family nearly every year somewhere in the Greater Fort Lauderdale Area and have had many experiences. Rolf as a host was second to none. Attentive, proactive, and wants you to have a good time while you are there. We didn't even have to take out the garbage.The home was well cared for, clean, maintenance and upkeep was the best we've seen. If I had to leave a "could be better" it might be more options for King beds as only the primary had one. But otherwise it was spectacular. We will be booking again next year.

Most wonderful vacation!

The house is as beautiful- if not more so- than the pictures show. The layout feel spacious so that different parts of the family could maintain privacy as needed. The pool was delightful as was the hot tub - that latter a particularly special feature after the sun went down. We also became expert mini golfers! The proximity of the kitchen and family room to the pool allowed easy supervision of the kids. The adjacent deck was a source of entertainment for the older children who marveled at the boats at the marina across the way. For adult couples considering this rental. the views are gorgeous and there are decks on the second floor (and a tiny surprise deck up a winding stair to the third floor) for drinks and quiet conversations- or celebrations.Rolf, the host, is extraordinary. He was always available if or when needed.Pompano beach is a solid 0.9 mile walk or 2 minute drive- with ample parking. It is a special place. Pompano is pristine, and stays shallow quite a ways out which allowed the younger kids to play in the water with ease. There is an adjacent park with fresh water sprinklers running all day long as well as a nearby playground. There is a long pier that extends into the ocean where fishermen and others casually stroll and enjoy the day. Honestly this is about the nicest "beach" home we have rented...and we have rented many here and around the world. Truly we are hoping to return!

Perfect Staycation!

We needed more space with family coming to town and made the right choice with this rental!! The house was immaculately clean and had plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The beautiful saltwater pool with a soothing waterfall was a highlight. The owner was very attentive and made sure we knew he would help if we needed absolutely anything! We will definitely rent again.

Perfect place for relaxing family vacation

The property was exactly as we expected and the hosts were even better: very responsive and eager to ensure we enjoyed our time in South Florida. The noise from the construction projects next door were the only negative the whole week.

Family trip

This house is exactly as described. The sheets were beyond soft and the beds comfortable and abundant. The ice maker in the entry way came in very handy. The pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen and space were amazing with more than enough towels for everyone. The washing machines and dryers were very useful. The kitchen is stocked with stables which is very convenient. There was construction going on next door but was never an issue, don't let that turn you off. We very much enjoyed the activities at the marina across the canal. Rolf was available for assistance when needed but not intrusive. We will be back and look forward to staying here again. Pleasure to meet you Rolf.

Great Space

We are a family of eight. The home was very spacious and we all had our own spaces. The pool, jacuzzi and outdoor fire pit, TV, and bar were great to hang out. We were there for Super Bowl so TV was great. All our meals were on the beautiful deck. The home is situated in a very convenient area, close to shopping etc. My only negative, I wish they would have given us a heads up abut out view from the deck. We looked at a boat yard, could be worse but I wish i had known.

About the host

Hosted by Rolf Kraus

My name is Rolf and I am the owner of this property. I was born in Germany, but have lived in Florida for over 30 yrs. My family and I lived in this home for many years and my son grew up here. I strive to be a good host and my goal is to ensure guests feel at home on the property and enjoy the many amenities, especially in the back yard as I have had a hand in building most of it.

What makes this property unique

How many properties have a 5-hole putting green? It's been a wonderful addition and has proven to be a lot of fun for golfers and non-golfers alike!
