Summary: We stayed at Casa Colorida during the Tortuga Music Festival. This house is adorable and exactly as captured in the pictures. The host is incredibly friendly, helpful, responsive and accommodating. I left a box of jewelry behind and the host was honest and sweet to mail it back to me. She made sure everything was intact. We had everything we needed and felt right at home. It is also in a good location with quick access to the beach, restaurants and shopping. We'll definitely be back!

Summary: Writing good reviews is never easy when you would really rather keep a place secret :) but, it’s only fair to give a massive thank you to Romi for offering us her wonderful home while we were in Fort Lauderdale. Before we arrived, we had grand plans to go out into Fort Lauderdale and find things for the kids to do. Turns out we hardly left the house at all since it was so much fun and so relaxing! I would go back in a heartbeat and I know my family would too, in fact we have already talked about it. Wonderful (heated) pool, space to run around, grill, gazebo and a welcoming house. What’s not to love?!

Summary: House is centrally located and very well equipped (both kitchen and even for kids, had all the stuff you need for the beach and more!). Host was very communicative and answered most queries within minutes. And when we had a minor issue it was efficiently resolved within 24 hours. Always great to book with someone that cares about their own property and not just some company that manages tons of them. Recommend!

Summary: Thank you to Romi for the lovely week in the sunshine in your lovely home. It was such a treat to lounge by the pool especially. Thank you also for your kindness and responsiveness throughout! Happy New Year from the Iowa Neils!

Summary: Myself, my husband, and kids ages 16 & 11 stayed here for 5 days the week of Thanksgiving. Everything was as pictured and described - clean, comfortable, fully stocked kitchen, beautiful backyard, etc. The house is conveniently located not far from anything (grocery stores, restaurants, the beach, etc.). My 16 year old especially liked the back bedroom because it’s like a little attached studio apartment. Romina was extremely quick to reply to any messages, and everything went very smoothly.
