About this property

1BR in Rio Vista | Pool, Mins to Las Olas

Summary:
A short drive from Las Olas Boulevard's restaurants, galleries and the Riverwalk, this 1-bedroom in Fort Lauderdale's Rio Vista area suits a couple or solo traveler who wants downtown close by, without downtown prices. Sleeps 2, with a full kitchen, a workspace, and a shared outdoor pool on site. Assigned driveway parking included. Fort Lauderdale Beach is a short drive east. Please see Other things to note before booking.

The Space:
Come home to a bright, freshly updated 1-bedroom tucked into a quiet, low-rise courtyard community in Rio Vista, one of Fort Lauderdale's most walkable in-town neighborhoods. Clean lines, light walls and a sunny living room set the tone, and after a day on Las Olas or down at the beach, the on-site pool is the easy answer to "what now?" This unit suits a couple or a solo traveler who wants a real kitchen, a quiet place to work, and a short drive to downtown rather than a hotel room. Cook a full dinner instead of eating out every night, get a few hours of work done at the dedicated desk, then unwind poolside before heading out to Las Olas for the evening.

Highlights
- Full kitchen with stove, microwave and cookware
- Dedicated workspace for remote work
- Fast WiFi throughout
- Shared outdoor pool on site
- Private entrance
- Air-conditioned, with ceiling and natural light
- In-unit essentials, linens and hair dryer provided
- Assigned driveway parking included
- Pet friendly

Guest Access:
Your stay includes a private entrance and full use of the apartment, plus the shared outdoor pool on the property grounds. One assigned parking spot in the driveway is included with your reservation, so there's no daily parking cost. The community is a small, low-rise courtyard building; check-in instructions and any stair or access details will be shared ahead of arrival.

The Neighborhood:
You're in Rio Vista / Tarpon River, a quiet residential pocket close to downtown Fort Lauderdale, with Las Olas Boulevard about 7 minutes' drive (or a 23-minute walk) for the city's best-known strip of restaurants, galleries and boutiques.

Our local picks:
- Las Olas Boulevard - the main dining and gallery street, about 7 minutes' drive
- Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale - the New River promenade through downtown and the arts district, about 7 minutes' drive
- Boathouse at the Riverside - a local favorite for riverside dining
- Rivertail - a downtown pick for a nicer dinner
- Circle House Coffee - good coffee close to home
- Fort Lauderdale Beach - the wide public beach with the signature wave wall, about a 15-minute drive
- Flagler Village - breweries and the FATVillage arts scene, about an 11-minute drive
- Bonnet House Museum & Gardens - a historic beachside estate, about a 16-minute drive

It's a quiet, residential stretch of the city, close enough to walk into the Las Olas buzz but calm enough to come home to.

Getting Around:
A car is useful here. Assigned driveway parking is included on site. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is about a 15-minute drive, and Port Everglades cruise port is about 11 minutes. The downtown Brightline station is about a 25-minute walk or a 7-minute drive for rail connections to Miami, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and Orlando. Las Olas Boulevard is an easy walk (about 23 minutes) or a short rideshare.

The location is great!! We were close to everything. Place was very clean and host were very attentive. We stayed for over a week and had planned on cooking to keep costs down but there was only one very tiny skillet to cook with. So you have to get take out or use microwave. The Internet also didn't work half the time but it didn't really bother us too much. Overall we were very happy w our stay!

Pictures were not accurate to what it really looked like. In particular, the couch was a cheap futon instead of the big, real couch shown in the picture.

Disliked: Location
The host was extremely welcoming, responded to inquiries quickly.Unfortunately, due to the proximity of 2 major streets, there was a lot of traffic noise and emergency vehicles. This issue could not be fixed.The issues with the unit includes apparent mold on the bathroom ceiling, tub was dangerously slippery, a hand rail in the shower could prevent injuries, the mattress was too soft and very uncomfortable, the futon in the living area was too low to the ground. I’m 5,2” and struggled to get up.Overall the place was clean and organized, kitchen had the essentials. Honestly, I don’t think I would stay there again.
