Read More...We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Jorie and Ricks home in Pompano Beach. Their quirky house was extremely comfortable and charming and we really enjoyed the swimming pool for relaxing and cooling off. We enjoyed exploring the areas around their home, especially the ritzy homes we saw on the boat tour and driving around surrounding suburbs of Fort Lauderdale. The beaches were very inviting but busy as it was the middle of summer when we visited. Also managed some overnight trips to Key West and Orlando (Cape Canaveral Space Centre was a highlight). Their home is well placed for supermarkets, shopping and restaurants which was very convenient. Although we didn't get to meet Jorie and Rick we communicated easily by email and the whole exchange experience worked very smoothly. We would definitely recommend an exchange with Jorie and Rick if you'd like to experience this part of Florida.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
MIAMI-FT LAUDERDALE AREA Large single family and one of the oldest neighborhoods in South Florida comprising 4 homes from 1924. Large trees and quiet near everything!
We are blocks away from Interstate 95 and 75 which access all of south Florida. We are 2 miles down Atlantic Avenue to the pristine sand beach of Pompano. Just like the white sand of Miami Beach without the crowds and impossible parking situation! Less that 5 minutes to the beach,15 minutes to Ft. Lauderdale airport. YOU WILL NOT BE STUCK IN
TRAFFIC. The house is on a large lot with a pool off the side plus a large separate jacuzzi and if I must say a large yard and garden complete with butterflies. There are 3 king size beds plus 2 new baths and kitchen which keep the ambience of the original yet update the house. Three large bedrooms plus a living room, library, dining room and sleeping porch. South Florida at its loveliest. There is a permanent guest Ana in our studio apartment behind the garage. We never see her. Never. She will clean the house after you leave. Adamant about exchanging house cleaning services at termination of exchange. Also, we are receiving requests to exchange to a vacation home. We prefer to visit cities as vacation homes are usually in a picturesque setting in the country. We tend to go stir crazy. We have been doing this a long time and have made our mistakes long ago. Your main home will be left just as found if not better. We have been exchanging since 2008 so I can’t figure out why this site says 5 exchanges, lol.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Peaceful side street in a seaside town. Notable for 4 houses build around 1924. 5 minutes if that from the beach with parking at the waterfront. 2 minutes to I 95 which takes you everywhere in Florida. I don't like traffic. This is a reason I bought here.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Everything is available by a short car ride. Close to 36 hole public golf course, 2 Olympic size pool, and multiple tennis courts. Immediate area has bocce ball court, playground and tennis courts. Ball fields and basketball as well. The stores are convenient with minimal traffic lights and access to the beach is very close with parking and bathroom facilities. Long sand beach with lifeguards. Miami Beach, Miami are down 95. Disney World is about 3 hours away. Soon Disney will be a train ride away.

Interesting day trips
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
It is important that our house is neat and tidy when we get back. We like to exchange housecleaning services so neither party has to clean before leaving. There is no smoking in the house. There is a baby fence for use around the pool, however, we prefer not to exchange with families with children younger than 6. All members of the family need to know how to swim. The pool is shallow so there is no diving and no glass on the patio and pool deck. Plastic glasses are provided. This is a family neighborhood, so parties aren't allowed.
