Good, short-term housing for incoming medical staff, visiting nurses and recovering patients and their families can be a problem to find in South Florida. After a few days in a small hotel room or relative’s home, newcomers tend to get a case of cabin fever. The problem is, most condo and homeowner associations here don’t allow short-term rentals of less than three months.

A new, temporary housing option is now available … even for stays as brief as one week. Nationally rated as Superior Small Lodgings, Beach Vacation Rentals in Pompano Beach offers fully-outfitted condos, cottages, and apartments for about the price of a standard room in a hotel.

“We offer very clean, well-appointed apartments with more of the comforts of home than the extended-stay chains, plus they are on or near the water,” says proprietor Elaine Fitzgerald. Studios, one and two-bedroom apartment homes have amenities like king beds, full kitchens, big screen TVs, VCR, stereo system, phone/fax/voice mail, books, family games, videos, paddle fans, and beach chairs and towels, Each property has a laundry room, BBQ areas, and big screened porches, balconies, or verandas. Most have swimming pools.

“Our guests can make their own breakfast in the mornings, their families can enjoy local attractions or the beach, while they work at the hospital, or go to the hospital for treatment or spend time recovering during the day,” says Fitzgerald. “In the evenings they can BBQ in their own yard or enjoy a short stroll to a waterfront restaurant.”

Beach Vacation Rental properties are centrally located in Pompano Beach near shops, waterfront restaurants, fishing and diving, entertainment, beauty salons, pharmacies, banks and public transportation. The nearest golf course is a five minute drive, and I-95 is just ten minutes away for easy access throughout South Florida.

Properties include Cottages by the Ocean, Pineapple Place, Sunny Place, Pompano Yacht & Beach Club, Bahama Beach Club, Bay Yacht Club and Pelican Place.

“Our guests come from across the U.S. and around the world, and many local residents book our properties for their visiting friends and family,” said Fitzgerald. “We try very hard to give each guest a really great experience, and they know we are always at their service.”
