Did not stay at this property due to lack of communication, property was very damaged and destroyed, and rooms (after seeing into room at-a-glance) before ever checking in. Noticed it was as damaged as well as rest of property was. Tried to cancel and was denied even though was way before check in time of 4pm local time. Contacted Expedia due property management refused to speak to me and was told need to wait 72hrs for response and nothing happened for entire time of stay therefore no refund given. Expedia said nothing they could do would need to call property which I explained was the whole issue no one there and number provided was getting no response. NOT SATISFIED with how this company treats customers who pay ahead and DON’T receive what they pay for!!!!

First impressions were very underwhelming considering the beautiful homes and luxury apartments that surround the property. The property itself is lacking in landscaping and there was really nothing appealing about the looks of the building or property. The 2 bedroom unit that we stayed in was immaculately clean, but you can tell that it is an older building with no glitz or glam. The window blinds were falling off or just completely missing on most of the windows. The bathroom layout was awkward being shared between the 2 bedrooms, and the shower curtain did nothing to help keep the water in the shower, so every morning we ended up cleaning up puddles of water. The kitchen is not stocked at all. If you are hoping to cook any sort of meal, you will need to provide all of the necessary ingredients, and the cookware itself was lacking. I was also surprised to see that there were no cleaning products or garbage bags left for us to use. That being said, the location of this apartment is EVERYTHING! If you can get over the no frills apartment, and are looking for a place that is close to all of the action, this is it! The apartment is located across the river on the opposite side of Las Olas Blvd. You will see all of the boats and yachts sail by, but you don’t have to deal with the craziness (or the price) of being directly on Las Olas. Everything is within a walkable distance. Hands down, we would absolutely stay here again!!

Per the email instructions, we arrived at the property. Upon entering the rental there was no furniture in the apartment! Called the property, they kept on directing us to other rooms that were already occupied with other guests. Our parking spot was never guaranteed! We had to constantly call them to assign us a new spot ( because someone was parked in ours ). The place is extremely outdated! Would not recommend

Sorry to hear that you had some issues regarding your stay with us Yurii, this is not the experience we want you to have and as you can see on other of our reviews this never happens before. Upon further investigation and photos of the building you got the wrong one, so we resent the address then you were able to find the correct building. Apology for the parking spot guest/ Tenant had their own designated parking space. While looking for this owner we sent you an alternative space and this was resolved. Please know that we are doing our best in improving our service and providing the best accommodation for our guest satisfaction. We are always here to help and assist. Thank you for choosing us.

Could not have been any better.
This is a wonderful, peaceful oasis right on the new river. It has a free water taxi stop right behind the complex that will take you to stops all along the riverwalk. You can find any kind of food or entertainment and easily return on the water taxi. It was nice to just watch the boats cruising up and down the river. The apartment is clean, updated, and no odors at all. It had a nice fully equipted kitchen for us to cook our favorites and stay in. The pool and grounds were lovely and felt very safe. There was an assigned parking space close to our unit always available. There was a great foam matress on the king bed with very soft cotton sheets. The unit had its own private central cooling system. The complex had a respected 10 pm quiet time so we slept well. The managment staff through rocketstay were excellent and quickly responsive to any questions. They regularly communicated by email to see if everything was satisfactory. This was my favorite stay in Fort Lauderdale so far. I don't want to stay anyplace else when I visit again.

We normally stay at hotels but let me say we’ll never stay at a hotel again! This property was clean, quiet, conveniently located and had the best view! My girls got excited every time a boat passed. We loved it here and the owners/property managers checked on us daily to ensure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be staying again.

The apartment complex charged my account. Never sent the pre check in so I could pay onsite like the internet stated. They charged me took my money, and said we will charge you for one night and I will receive the rest of my refund. How do I charge someone and never send the backup email so the customer can check in. Then it said pet friendly, and they are not I have a service dog and they did not want to accept my service dog. This apartment complex does not have security only cameras, so you will not be safe. Read the reviews on this APARTMENT COMPLEX before booking. Very upset with the service they provided. 0 stars

Good location at one end of the Riverwalk. Easy check in with clear instructions for parking and code for unit door. Comfortable bed, place smelled pleasantly of cleaning supplies when I arrived. Unit next door was noisy (children playing, adult voices, dog barking). Luckily the bedroom was at the end of the building and quieter. Wifi access code was changed without notice. Emailed Rocketstay about lack of access but got no reply. After waiting 12 hours I tracked down a phone number and was able to get the new code. Two mornings there was no hot water for a shower.

The apartment was very clean and comfortable inside. It's in a fantastic location right on the New River and right across the river from great resaurants on Las Olas Blvd. There is a free water trolly that takes you across the river. It is a great place to walk very pretty at night. The hosts were very attentive and helpful. The pool furniture needs to be updated but the pool was clean and very relaxing. We would definitely visit again. Very good value for the money.

I had an absolutely incredible stay at Artrageous on the River! The riverside view was breathtaking, with yachts and boats passing by, creating a mesmerizing ambiance. The customer service was amazing, super responsive and invested in the situation. The large pool was a perfect spot to relax, and the beautifully designed bedrooms and kitchens added a touch of luxury and comfort to the experience. The combination of stunning scenery, top-notch amenities, and impeccable interior design truly made this a five-star getaway. Can't wait to return!

Quiet stay, great location.
Had a great stay at Artrageous. It's a quiet, little, converted apartment/motel from Florida's yesteryear. Don't let that L-shape or old crank windows you see from the outside be your only impression. The units have been cleaned up inside, with comfortable seating and beds, TVs with streaming apps, and a large space with great light. The location is centrally located to the riverwalk, and to easily get around by vehicle.

I like the area and it was near by everything we did. The view is amazing and seeing the boats pass by everyday and morning. The communication is top tier they check on you the whole stay inquiring if anything is needed from them. The kids loved walking out and in getting in the pool. The only thing I can suggest is having rugs through out the place or bath mates for when getting out the shower because with the pool and coming inside the floor was wet and getting out the shower the floor was went. So we had to place towels on the floor and we had kids so that’s a safety concern for me. That could be a easy slip and fall. Other than that everything was great!

My stay at this property overall was okay. The lighting in the rooms was not up to par. A lot of the light switches on the walls were not exactly attached to lighting but small little reading lamps that were attached to a plug were not much help. Other than lighting and small minor things it was okay.
