Modern Castle on the Middle River

Michael and his team were amazing. I would recommend it for a family vacation or as a special event venue. Michaels team also catered a large birthday event as well as several smaller breakfasts for us. He never said no and was great to work with. Thank you guys.

We had our wedding here and it was everything we could have hoped and dreamed of. Michael was so helpful and accommodating. He helped us with our planning and gave us some great suggestions. All of our guests had an amazing time and the food was so delicious. The wedding cake that Michael made was one of the best cakes my family and I have ever had. We stayed at the Modern Castle from Thursday to Monday. It was so wonderful to spend some quality time before and after the wedding with our friends and family. As you can see from the photos this house is stunning and in a beautiful location. We definitely recommend booking the Modern Castle.

My wife and I rented Michael's castle to accommodate and entertain family and friends over the extended weekend of our daughter's wedding held 19MAY2018, which was also our 34th wedding anniversary. Our family and friends constitute hard working, middle class professionals and tradesmen who have quite constrained opportunities to experience this level of luxury, which to us was commensurate with our best hotel stays (e.g., the Plaza in New York City; the Breakers in Palm Beach, FL; the Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, WV; the Grand in Point Clear, AL) with one exception to those hotels: we had the castle to ourselves! Michael and his staff (Johnny and team...shout out to you all!) provided utterly phenomenal hospitality, which included excellent banquet/catering services for the wedding reception. Their combined passion for great customer service [including maintaining a great sense of humor :)] made the stay in this gorgeous riverfront castle a truly magical experience! We highly recommend a stay at Michael's castle...you will be VERY pleased you chose to do so...fact NOT fiction! PS/FYI, I may be wrong, but the top deck of the castle appears to be the highest elevation for a significant distance within the surrounding area (i.e., awesome 360 degree views and great place to hang out and relax, especially at night)!

My family rented this incredible house in late March 2018 for a birthday celebration. Great location on the Middle River and close to beaches. Quick Uber ride from the Fort Lauderdale airport. Nicely accommodated 12 adults and one teenager. Great kitchen work space with multiple ovens and dishwashers, laundry room, dishes galore, outdoor grill and anything else you might need. Parking is plentiful. Owner Michael is very accommodating and a gracious host. We were even able to drop off luggage early. Tons of private little spots to sit and relax on the multiple balconies, three living room areas and river front patio. Quiet neighborhood. Shopping and restaurants nearby although we barely left the grounds! Highly recommend. Well worth the cost.

Where to begin. WOW!! It really is a castle!!! It was awesome. Michael, Rob, Mike's Sister, Bob, were all awesome. From start to finish Mike helped in everyway possible. He was easy to get a hold of email but better and faster by phone. There was never a time he didn't pick the phone up when I called him. He answered all my questions always and was very nice. We also had him and his team cater breakfast for us it was amazing. If you stay here you gotta do it. Well worth it every morning. Its great to wake up to a buffet breakfast when you have 11 PPL with you and 2 kids. Everyone had a wonderful wake up. We welcomed them all like family into our family and had so much fun at breakfast with them. The Castle is awesome and every single one of us did not want to leave at the end of the stay. We were there for the 4th of July went on roof at dusk to watch the fireworks from 12 locations it was amazing. And the view was awesome of the river. It was the best vacation any of us have ever had. I will say there is a bit of a ANT problem there. But Mike was called and that day Bob was out spraying for us. But be aware the ants like to bite :( other then that it couldn't have been more perfect really. There are places to eat everywhere within 5 minutes of the castle by car. And a Gallery Mall within 5 minutes of walking. Beach is close enough to walk or drive. But be in good shape for the walk its about 1 and half miles. The pool and hot tub are amazing. My guys fished off the dock there from morning to night they loved it couldn't get enough. There was nothing I could complain about the place is clean and the elevator was great no problems with it at all. We all wish we were still there I cried when I left lol. Plenty of towels and plenty of everything to get started. Chefs kitchen which we used and it was great. Parking we had 1 LG SUV, 1 LG MINI VAN, AND 1 FULL SIZE CAR ALL FINE. We had 11 PPL and could have fit 20 or more in the Castle comfortably. Can't thank Mike enough for everything an all those who we inter acted with. Everyone was awesome we are all very thankful. Hoping to do this again some time in the future one day. It was all worth the money and the trip. If you are planning a vacation look into to the Castle you won't be sorry you did it. I read the reviews and they were all good and I was skeptical till I got there and saw it was all we hoped it would be.
