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)!

We booked a 4 night stay for 12 people on our sales team. Actually living together (shopping, grilling meals, hanging out in the hot tub and balconies, even sharing rooms) all proved to be tremendous team building opportunities..........and it cost less than individual hotel rooms.

For the final two nights, we hosted 50 and 30 customers respectively. The owner catered the event. He performed magnificently. I cannot emphasize enough how important it was to have the guy that owned the place, set up and take care of everything. He did not need instruction on where to find things, how to use them, when to let people in, etc. He hired wonderful staff to serve dinner and attend to our every need. All we had to do was enjoy the magnificent home (supremely structured for entertaining) and engage our guests. Everyone had an excellent time. We had to assure our customers that this place costs less than 12 hotel rooms because they figured that we must be making too much margin on them!

The food was excellent and an exceptional value. I regularly contrast the choices and pricing with that of the hotel (which gouged us for box lunches). Next year, we will be back and add another day of training (which everyone believes is a euphemism for golf......but it is not). We worked really hard while there!

Thank you. Absolutely loved it. Off the charts. You can come and have a free stay at our B&B farm in Michigan.

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.
