Listing not as advertised

The place was clean and the garden area was interesting. That was about it. The listing indicates 2 beds and 1 bedroom. This is a studio with 1 bed. Location is average at best with roosters close by making noise every morning. If you want to be near the beach youll need to travel 15-20min and pay for parking. A few decent restaurants within walking distance, but nothing special.

Our stay was absolutely perfect. The home was clean and comfy. The outside was exceptionally appealing, as my boyfriend and I both love plant life. It was like having a private botanical garden right outside. We wouldHope to stay again next year, if it is available.

Beautiful Topical Garden

We will be back. My husband and I had a wonderful stay. Everything we needed and 4 blocks from where my husband's mom is staying. Half a block from a neighborhood park. The side garden outside our door was fabulously tropical with orchids, stag horn ferns engulfing a tree, and many beautiful blooming flowers I'd never seen before. Perry was so welcoming. The bed was comfy. There was coffee for breakfast.

Luxury Hotel Quality

We were amazed from the moment we entered the gate! The landscape of the garden, the detail and cleanliness of the unit, the safety of the neighborhood was well worth the price! We would definitely stay here again, as it was very convenient to get to many attractions. Thanks for the great hospitality!

I had work to do online but was not able to access the info for the wifi because the renter did not include the wifi name just the pass code. I tried many to no avail. I texted him, messaged him, and two hours later still had no response. So I had to knock on his door to get it. Otherwise, he seemed pleasant enough but also like I was inconveniencing him to be there.

Home away from Home

It was like staying at home. The minute I walked in through the gate I felt comfortable. The bed was super comfy, everything was very clean. The furniture was comfortable and enough. Perry and James are a delight to deal with and that garden, what a blessing to enjoy. Made my stay even better. I will stay here again, no need to look any further. Oh, and communication with Perry & James was excellent. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Awesome mediation garden.

This property is very well located 11 mile north of FTL airport and 3 miles west of beach, in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. A very nice, quiet room that I seldom was in except for sleep as I had much to do while in Ft Lauderdale. Didn't see anyone else on property except for on occasion the owners, which was exactly my needs. Serene, beautiful garden which i meditated in daily surrounded by flowers, trees, occasional birds and lizards. Wonderful stay and will do again in future visit.
