This place was perfect! Good location and fits the description and pictures. Gator mom was a great host and took care of everything we could have needed. Had early flights in and late flights out and she accommodated our needs perfectly!

Better than I expected. Host was so incredibly sweet and allowed us to have a late checkout while waiting for our [delayed] flight out of Ft Lauderdale. Super cute area. Will definitely be back.

GatorMom was very attentive to our needs. She inquired often as to if we had everything we needed and she was so sweet. The place is close to many things if you’re willing to walk 10-15 minutes and extremely close to downtown with a Uber. We enjoyed our stay

Blue Bell is a hidden gem and our host was absolutely amazing! We were seeking accommodations that would cater to our family's needs as the purpose of this trip was to celebrate our daughter's 21st birthday. When we booked this AirBnB, we hit the jackpot! Blue Bell is located less than 10 minutes from the FLL Airport in the Harbordale area. It is very close to the Bahia Mar dock and the beach. Various restaurants, stores, and specialty shops are within walking distance and if you walk directly down to the end of the street, you can catch the Water Taxi. Upon arrival, our accommodations were ready for occupancy and it smelled so good inside the unit! Everything we needed was available as the unit is fully stocked. (If you want to save money, you can buy and cook your own meals because there are various pans, flatware, etc available. The host shocked us with her hospitality when she blessed our daughter with a chilled bottle of wine for her birthday. That definitely was the icing on the cake! We had Unit #2. It comprised of a total of 4 beds that can accommodate 5. The beds are very comfortable with clean, quality bedding. 2 large closets with hangers and a dresser. Access to the bathroom is via the bathroom. The unit has air conditioning and extra pillows and comforters were in the closets, in case we became too cold. The kitchen is fully stocked and bottled water was provided to quench our thirst upon arrival. The entire place was spotless. Bathroom was super clean. Fluffy towels, tissue and soap were provided. We also had access to a private enclosed patio and we spent a whole lot of time there. There is a swimming pool available and many guests enjoyed it. We did not use the pool however it was very clean. There is a casual area available by the pool to relax, smoke, read or just enjoy the beautiful weather. There is a cat who has a 'Cat Condo' near the pool area. He/She will not bother you. Very friendly. The owner inherited the property from her parents and the loving-care she provides to accommodate her guests shows exactly how much she loves them. She is constantly working (all day) to make this AirBnB better and better each day. It is very important to the owner to honor her parents original mission and we wish her much success! We will return again!!!
