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.

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!

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.

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.
