Short Term Rental of the Day: Sophisticated and Cozy in Boca

Boca is known as a mecca for people to relax, relocate, or retire. Part of the puzzle is picking the right place to live. And for many who are in town for a little while, a short-term rental is key. And that, dear readers, is what brings us to this first feature: a three bedroom, two bathroom home in central Boca that's fully furnished.

This home has an open floor plan, with a kitchen that opens to the living and dining area. This space has a distinctively clubby feel, with rich leather furniture that invites you to relax inside quietly or entertain animatedly. The screened-in porch brings the outside in, so the party can continue without the insects.

Of the three bedrooms, one is currently in use as a den for focus on work, though the sofa is a pullout convertible bed. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet, en suite bathroom, and access to the screened-in porch and larger patio.

Beyond the house, the amenities within the 24-hour guarded and gated community include tennis courts, squash courts, swimming pools, a lake, and shopping within walking distance: Starbucks, restaurants, and a grocery store. For those who are used to getting around without a car, this location is prime. If you want to drive to Mizner Park, Town Center Mall, Delray, or the beach, there's a single car garage for your vehicle. Commuters have options, too: office parks are nearby, as is the Tri-Rail station.

And, all you need is a toothbrush and your favorite soap: this rental is fully furnished (flat screen TV, cooking utensils, etc) with utilities included at $3400 per month. Minimum stay is four months. Rent and stay awhile!
