Come take a whirlwind video tour —  click here!

Overview

Our resort-style home provides a peaceful escape in South Florida. Walk to shops & restaurants or bike to the beach about 2 miles away! The 1/3 acre lot includes a lush garden with palms, mangoes, and rare tropical fruits. Glass doors invite the outside in: step onto the patio to dine alfresco or lounge by the heated pool. Socialize indoors in the open-layout living area, or retire to the bedrooms, each with access to the yard. Take a mid-day siesta in the hammock or swing in the evening breeze.

Casa Las Plumerias welcomes you from the moment you step in the door. You and your guests will enjoy four sizable bedrooms, a large common space with perfect flow from the huge kitchen to the living area to the glassed-in dining area with seating for 8 people.

The driveway can accommodate a maximum of three vehicles. No street parking permitted.

You’ll have a personal code to open the smart lock on the front door.

Each of the four bedrooms has independent access to the back yard.

Guests have access to the entire house with the exception of two locked owner’s closets.

We are in touch via the AirBnb app and also provide our mobile numbers for emergencies. Otherwise, our local assistants can help with anything you might need.

Our neighborhood

We live in a quiet residential neighborhood just a few blocks from Oakland Park City Hall.

Walk only two or three blocks to some of our favorite restaurants: Nour Thai, The Butcher’s Barrel, Funky Buddha, and Tatts & Tacos.

Walk seven blocks to Oakland Park Boulevard where you can catch a bus. Heading west you can walk to Aldi, and heading east you’ll reach a shopping center (Publix, Target, AMC theater, etc).

It takes about 15 minutes to bike to the beach.

In good traffic, the Fort Lauderdale airport is only 15 minutes away by car, and popular Wilton Drive less than 5 minutes away.

House rules

Guests may be responsible for any fines imposed on the host from code enforcement as a result of the violation.

This is a newly remodeled home and the hosts wish to maintain the quality and integrity of the property by offering a pet-free and smoke-free environment.

Things to note

We welcome families with children of all ages; however, this house is NOT childproof. This is a split-level home with a terraced yard that includes a pool, hot tub, and built-in grill, and other common features/amenities that could be potentially dangerous. Children must be supervised AT ALL TIMES and should NEVER be left unattended (without adult supervision) inside or outside of the home.

This home is equipped with multiple Alexa-Enabled Echo smart speakers that are used to run our home automation system and control various features of the home. Please do not unplug any automation devices, WiFi router, or modem. Doing so may result in advertised features or amenities not working properly.

One corner of the property is occupied by our in-law apartment with a long-term tenant. The apartment shares a wall with the kitchen, but it was originally an exterior wall, is 12″ thick concrete block, and provides excellent acoustic privacy. The tenant has his own fenced-in courtyard with no access to the rest of the property. It is literally on the opposite corner of the property from the pool and barbeque, with the house in between.

Oakland Park is located in a subtropical climate in South Florida and certain months of the year can be very hot and humid. It is not uncommon for even the best A/C units to struggle to maintain set temperatures during the hottest parts of the day. There may be times where parts of the home may not cool to your set temperate and unfortunately, that is not within our control. We do not recommend setting the temperature below 70 degrees as doing so can cause the A/C unit to ice over and become inoperable.

You may see or encounter wildlife while in our home or neighborhood. This could include (but may not be limited to) iguanas, birds, mosquitos, ants, and palmetto bugs. Though we do our best to manage the controllable aspects of our property, including hiring a monthly pest service, there are certain elements that are common in our environment that are out of our control. We ask that you embrace the occasional surprises of South Florida living while staying with us.
