If you are looking for a self-catered vacation in the privacy of your own cottage, check out Beach Vacation Rentals in Pompano Beach, Florida.

They offer condos and cottages in several configurations ranging from studios to interconnected suites.

We were recently hosted at Cottages by the Ocean, a small cluster of Key West style cottages, located just a couple of blocks from the beach. Surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, the units are charmingly decorated in a casual style and accented with nautical colors and motifs. They feature everything you may need in your vacation home from a George Foreman Grill to dishwasher soap.

Elaine Fitzgerald, the hands-on owner of the property, met us on arrival and introduced us to the unit’s amenities and neighboring attractions. Elaine is a trove of information about anything and everything in Pompano Beach and beyond. She will tell you about top restaurants, casual eateries, best sightseeing spots and even the hottest places for ballroom dancing.

In your unit you’ll also find a thick binder with pertinent information including sightseeing suggestions, restaurant menus, supermarkets nearby, house rules and Wi-Fi password. Your cottage is like your home, so you handle all daily housekeeping and meals (restaurant, takeout, or home cooked).

These cottages are ideal for families and couples as well as for small groups of friends who like to travel together but want to maintain their privacy.
