Beachside living, waterway adventures, and the city Fort Lauderdale is known for.
Fort Lauderdale earned its nickname the “Venice of America” for good reason. Over 165 miles of canals wind through the city, lined with palm trees, yachts, and waterfront homes. Our Fort Lauderdale properties put you close to all of it: the wide white-sand beach, the iconic Las Olas Boulevard, and the laid-back charm of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea just a few minutes up the coast.
Whether you want a beach-walk-and-coffee morning, a sunset boat ride on the Intracoastal, or a day of shopping and dining on Las Olas, Fort Lauderdale gives you the full coastal Florida experience without the crowds of Miami.
Most of our Fort Lauderdale properties are within easy walking distance of restaurants, parks, and shopping. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea guests are literally steps from the beach.
Everything that makes Fort Lauderdale famous is a short ride away.
Beyond Fort Lauderdale, the rest of South Florida is yours to explore.
“Take the Water Taxi at least once. It runs all day, drops you at the best dining and beach stops along the Intracoastal, and it's the most Fort Lauderdale way to see the city. End the day with seafood and sunset at Aruba Beach Cafe in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. You'll understand why our guests come back.”
