Three bedrooms, two kitchens and a 3,000-square-foot yard
Guests who know the listing from Airbnb remember the pool and the sea-turtle mural, so the site leads with the backyard. Its own page covers the heated pool and its shallow sun shelf, the fire pit, the flat-top griddle, the covered patio with a fire table, and the mural, which is lit after dark. The gallery opens with the hosts’ own night photos of the yard, taken after they put in new garden lighting.
Inside, the site spells out where ten people sleep. Each of the three bedrooms has one bed for two, and two sleeper sofas take two more each. The pages also say there are two full kitchens, a detail guests single out in their reviews. The amenities page lists everything room by room, and the policies page puts check-in, check-out, cancellation, pets, parking and events on one page.
Pages for each kind of group
The house sleeps ten, so most of the site speaks to groups, and groups differ. There are eight pages for them: yoga and wellness, family reunions, girls’ getaways, guys’ weekends, wedding parties, milestone celebrations, content creators, and sports and fitness. Each one lays out a sample weekend starting with Friday’s arrival, lists local ideas for that crowd and answers the questions that kind of group asks, such as how many people can stay overnight.
Three more pages cover stays that take some arranging. Retreats is for wellness weekends and team offsites. Events covers showers, dinners and photo or video shoots, which the policies page welcomes when agreed in advance, with a PA system, a projector and a backyard screen on hand. Recovery stays is written for people in Fort Lauderdale for medical care who want a quiet single-story house with room for whoever is looking after them.
A cruise port, a dog and 90 local guides
Port Everglades and the airport are each about 15 minutes from the house by car, so the guides include 12 pages on sailing from Fort Lauderdale: the terminals, parking at the port, the ride from the airport to the ship and what to do once the cruise is over. The house has a two-night minimum, and those pages say so and suggest arriving two days before departure.
Pets are welcome, and 12 pet guides cover dog beaches, dog parks, patios that allow dogs, flying or driving in with a pet, heat and toad safety, and 24-hour animal hospitals. Another 10 pages are itineraries, from a weekend to a full week, written for first-timers, families, couples, a rainy day and a trip without a car. The fly-from pages for U.S. and Canadian cities sit under Getting here.
The guides hub lists all 90 by topic and marks them as fact-checked and updated in September 2026. Each photo taken from an outside source is credited to its photographer, with the license, right where it appears.
The old blog and its web addresses
The Savvy Turtle already ran on the hosts’ previous site with 14 posts, and Google listed those pages under their own addresses. We kept the addresses exactly as they were, along with the old Events, Retreats and What to do pages. Visitors who use the old contact-us address land on the new contact page, and the old feed address leads to the blog.
The hosts kept writing while we built, and the two posts they published on the old site in that time were moved over before the switch. We also expanded the original posts and linked them to the guides, and the blog now holds 22 posts. Before the domain moved, we saved a full copy of every page on the old site.
Booking on the hosts’ own checkout
The Check Dates and Book buttons open the hosts’ Lodgify checkout, where the guest pays by credit or debit card. Booking there carries no platform service fee, and the home page tells guests that. The cancellation rule, a full refund up to 48 hours before check-in, appears on the policies page and on the summary page for AI tools, each with a note that the terms shown at checkout are the binding ones.
The house keeps its Airbnb listing. The reviews page shows Airbnb’s 4.86 rating with its six category scores, and Airbnb reviews a reader can filter by topic, such as group trips, families, stays with a pet, the pool or the kitchens, with a link to every review on Airbnb. The hosts’ existing Google Analytics and Meta Pixel carried over to the new site, and neither loads until someone clicks Accept on the cookie notice.
Search, accessibility and AI assistants
A search box covers every page and opens from the menu. An accessibility page gives the site’s statement and the home’s features. For AI tools there is a summary page at /ai/ plus /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt, which hand assistants the facts about the house. The footer adds Plan this trip with AI buttons that open ChatGPT and other assistants with a question about the house already typed in.
