Good/safe areas in Fort Lauderdale to rent a condo (VRBO) for a few days

[Maddysdaddy]

Looking to rent a condo in Fort Lauderdale for 4-5 days before our cruise.

 

Any and all suggestions and recommendations for areas of the city to stay in would be greatly appreciated.

 

We will have children (toddlers to a tween) and will be renting a vehicle.

 

Thanks.

Any area east of US 1 is safe. You might be able to rent a time-share at Lighthouse Cove on the beach in Pompano Beach. They have a nice pool/bar/café.

Marriott Beach place is also time share and in a great location.

 

Lauderdale-By-The-Sea would also be a great place for your family.

I just saw that your dates are March and since it is peak season, you may have a hard time renting a VRBO for less than seven nights.

 

If that is the case, you may have to go the timeshare route.

 

I'm guessing you are booking a VRBO because of bedrooms and a kitchen? Many of the mom and pop motels in LBTS are set up that way.

Lauderdale by the Sea would be my choice. Vacation rentals have 7-night minimums (city ordinance), but there are several independently owned hotels that may meet your criteria. Check out Beachside Village Resort, Blue Seas Courtyard, Sea Spray, Windjammer, just to name a few.

You can rent a time-share or condo by the week but stay for 4-5 days.

There are a few nice weekly apt rentals in Lauderdale by the Sea on AirBNB too.
