Every corner of this home is designed to spark a little wonder. Settle in for a cozy night with the Chromecast-powered projector, transforming the living room into your own private cinema beneath the sails. Climb up to the crow’s nest loft, where you can gaze through the “periscope,” swap stories, and feel as though you’re charting the stars.
The details are what make this house an ideal escape from reality—like the clawfoot soaking tub, a perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring, or the eclectic nautical décor that brings the Captain’s world to life. Thoughtful touches abound, from beach gear for your ocean excursions to board games and activities that keep the whole crew entertained.
Here, every stay feels less like a getaway and more like a voyage of discovery, blending comfort, playfulness, and just the right amount of whimsy.

Landlubbers can head due south (to Sunrise Blvd) or east (to US 1 / Federal Hwy) to reach major thoroughfares where public transportation via bus is available, but Uber & Lyft is readily available.
One block West of the home there are two bus stops, one northbound and one southbound. We do not suggest public transportation in Fort Lauderdale as it's not fully developed as in larger cities.
If you do not plan to rent a vehicle at the airport we suggest using Sixt rent-a-car on Sunrise Blvd. It's within a 5-minute drive from the home and has great vehicles for guests traveling in large groups.
Prior to your stay, we will share our Google-powered digital guide of the city so you can explore Fort Lauderdale like a local.
