About this rental
A singular tropical haven with a beautiful and expansive native garden, landscape, and backlit fountains (see photos), where the charm of Old Florida meets the latest in brilliant design and comfort of a completely renovated home, just minutes away from the Atlantic and the acclaimed Las Olas District of restaurants and boutique shops.

The master bathroom features onyx sinks, a teakwood double vanity, and a large shower enclosure with a 3-spray hand shower and showerhead combo. French doors in the bedroom lead out to the lush and tranquil backyard and its comforting Henri Studio customized lighted fountains.
The guest bedroom features a Queen Bed, hardwood floors, dual ceiling light/fan, a large closet, and panoramic windows. This bedroom just steps away from the custom-designed guest bathroom with a waterfall faucet, deep-soak bathtub, shower, and vanity.
The living room is an expansive, airy space with large windows, a tropical palm ceiling fan, a brick fireplace with wood mantle, and Rowan Chase Studio’s “Across the Bay” pendant light. Large HD television and Bose sound system. Super-fast WIFI throughout the entire house and yards.

Reviews
Great rental int eh BEST neighborhood.
We needed a 45 day rental after the sale of our home and this 2/2 worked out great. It's everything you need for a vacation rental or in our case an extended stay. Great neighborhood in East Fort Lauderdale and its located near all the best restaurants. It is also very family friendly and awesome for walking. Michelle and her team were a pleasure to deal with during and after our stay.

My review for Wave & Sea
The location of the house was close to Hillsboro Blvd a short distance to 95. This was convenient for our daily golf excursions. The house was nicely renovated, clean and comfortable. The beds were good. There was an issue with one of the toilets, the seal at the base of the toilet was compromised. I consider this a fluke that happened when we just happened to be there. The rest of the house was meticulous, I know that Michele Martin would not have let an issue like this go unchecked. Michele was very cordial and attentive, I enjoyed communicating with her with her. I would stay at wave & Sea again

Excellent for families!
This location had everything we needed for our family. Lots of space and my kids loved the big backyard to play in. The host is amazing, we had 1 small issue with the hot water and it was resolved immediately. The communication was great between the host and our family (something we are very particular about). I would most definitely stay here again!
