This place was immaculate. From prior to arriving until you are on your way to your next destination, the owner, Doug, was available to make your visit very comfortable and pleasant. The location is fantastic if you are planning on hanging out in Wilton Manor, specially for the night life. Fantasy Island Inn was beyond my expectations, and I plan on returning next time I come to the Fort Lauderdale area to visit.

High point of the trip

Host could not have been more accommodating, organized, thorough or gracious. Room was immaculate, BR beautiful, snacks, beer, soda, juice and water all stocked in the room free of added charge. Pool pristine, clothing optional and heated. Outdoor shower. Breakfast a generous continental. Half a block from anything Wilton has to offer. Definitely would book again

Awesome Stay

The owner Doug is an amazing host. He thinks of just about everything. He has two refrigerators full of soda, water, beer, ice. He's got cabinets full of towels for the pool for your room. He thinks of everything his breakfast area is spotlessly clean and very well stocked. The rooms all have many fridges in them with soda, beer and water. It's everything you could want on a little vacation.

Peace and Beauty in the Heart of Wilton Manors

A beautiful and peaceful property right in the heart of Wilton Manors - within walking distance to all the restaurants, bars and businesses on the Drive. Amazing amenities - beverages, snacks, water, coffee both in the room and in the breakfast room. We had everything we needed. Doug is such a welcoming and gracious host - never intrusive but always asking if we needed anything. It's obvious how much pride he takes in his property as he should. Beautiful pool and landscaping. This will be our home away from home whenever we visit Ft. Lauderdale in the future. Thank you, Doug, for a great vacation!
