Environment

Fort Lauderdale vacation rentals help travelers experience beautiful beaches, vibrant arts and culture, and family-friendly attractions. iTrip Vacations® Fort Lauderdale manages rentals in Lauderdale Beach, Lauderdale by the Sea, Las Olas Beach, Sunrise, Weston and downtown Fort Lauderdale. Start vacation by spending time on sunny Fort Lauderdale Beach. The area invites visitors to relax on 7 miles of sandy shores and features an award-winning wavewall and promenade. On the beaches, families enjoy windsurfing, swimming, volleyball, scuba diving, rollerblading and watching marine life. Nearby parks also provide a place to connect with nature and stay active. A few must-sees include Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, Crystal Lake Sand Pine Scrub and Esplanade Park. Boat tours and water taxis are a great way to explore the Fort Lauderdale area, which includes sections of the Intracoastal Waterway and A1A Scenic and Historical Coastal Byway. These tours offer opportunities for deep-sea fishing, wildlife viewing, as well as admiring celebrity houses that showcase the rich and famous on Millionaire's Row. Those who want to try sailing and yachting should stop by local marinas, including Pier 66, Lauderdale and Las Olas Marinas. Other popular outdoor activities include biking, boating, cruising, fishing, snorkeling, kayaking and eco-friendly tours. Golfers also feel at home in Fort Lauderdale with more than a dozen courses available. In addition, the city sits a short drive away from the Everglades region – a region where wild beauty makes up nearly two-thirds of the entire area. The Everglades serves as home to the Seminole Indian Tribe, who welcome guests to learn about their culture. For more adventure, families shouldn’t miss Everglades Airboat Tours, Butterfly World -- the largest butterfly aviary in North America -- Flamingo Gardens and Wray Botanical Collection. When it's time for a beach break, head to shops and restaurants located along the coast. Those who vacation in Fort Lauderdale have easy access to two historical districts full of shopping, dining and activities. Las Olas – known as the heart of the city – is pedestrian-friendly and features a tropical beach, 75-plus shops, more than 30 al fresco dining options, three museums, and 12 art galleries. While strolling the streets or attending an exciting event, visitors experience a vibrant yet casual atmosphere. Another top gathering spot is Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale, home to the Downtown Riverwalk District. This area pairs the best of a tropical waterfront location with an urban entertainment center. Shoppers and fashion lovers should start at Sawgrass Mills, which is the largest outlet mall in the U.S. Afterwards, check out the Arts and Culture Entertainment District for concerts, special events, galleries, more shopping and fine dining. Other top downtown attractions include Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Museum of Discovery and Science, and the Florida Grand Opera. Those who book a Fort Lauderdale vacation rental also have proximity to casinos, nightlife, day spas, natural attractions, concert venues and annual events. Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in nearby Hollywood hosts live shows and features large gaming areas. To hang out with locals, attend a festival such as Las Olas Art Fair, Fort Lauderdale’s International Boat Show, Tortuga Music Festival, Stonewall Parade and Festival, and holiday celebrations.
