We didn't expect this place to be bad at all, but it was even nicer than we were expecting. Everything was super clean and new feeling. The outdoor property was very well taken take of. The studio had everything we needed (mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, sink, TV, reliable internet). The mini-split AC unit was great and quiet. We would definitely come back if it works out with future plans.The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. The neighborhood was quiet.Side note: The swimmable snorkeling off the beach at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea was better than I was expecting (especially under the pier, until the reopen it), so bring gear if you have it. Snorkel between the pier and Datura.

Property host is extremely friendly and welcoming. Accomodations and everything about it were immaculate and spotless! Bed was extremely comfortable and surrounding garden was amazing and inspired peacefulness. I can't recommend how comfortable, convenient and overall welcome we felt during our stay. Safe, secure and great onsite parking. Will definitely stay again on our next visit to Fort Lauderdale.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the host puts a lot of heart into maintaining the home. Everything was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities we could possibly need.The host was truly exceptional—incredibly responsive, welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. It’s rare to find a place where everything is 'just right,' but this was it. We left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to book another stay here in the future. Highly recommended!

Perfect place to stay right in the middle of Ft. Lauderdale. Cute cozy room with a small kitchenette and a big comfy bed. Communication with the owners was super easy. Make sure you have the VRBO app for communication and messaging between yourself and the owners. Will stay again.

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.

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.

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.
