Garden Oasis with Private Heated Pool & Spa, 2 miles from Fort Lauderdale Beach

"The Buddha Sanctuary" is a unique tropical oasis experience with beautiful gardens around the property. There are several fruit trees that ripen at different times throughout the year.

Enjoy private use of the "The Zen Pool," a heated pool and spa. Catch some sun or relax with the calming sounds of the poolside bamboo swaying in the wind. Or make it a pool day with the BBQ grill and poolside refrigerator for drinks. At night, enjoy the combination of warm glows from the garden contrasting with the blue pool lighting. Life is good, sit back and look up at the stars.

The property is enclosed with a tall wraparound fence, trees, and plants with locked entry for additional security and privacy.

Family trip

The pool and spa are very nice and clean. The rental is part of a rental complex. It was deceiving that the pictures shows like a single home. The area is transitional and if you are not from the area or not used to a dense urban area you could feel uncomfortable. The space is cozy and well maintained. It is a great place to stay if you are planning on visiting the area.

Relaxing, comfortable in a tropical oasis with everything and more

Wonderful and so relaxing stay at the Buddha sanctuary . It was incredibly comfortable, and we truly appreciated all the thoughtful touches put into making the experience so relaxing and so comfy . The space was perfect, and I felt right at home. The owner hospitality made our stay even more enjoyable, and we're grateful for all the care and attention he provided. We look forward to the opportunity to stay again in the future.

Great Host / Comfortable Stay

We were in town for a work trip and the location for this stay made it easy to get around. The host, Hatsi, is an excellent communicator, was always quick to respond and very friendly. The property is in relatively close proximity to other houses but doesn't feel like it because of the beautiful trees, shrubs, and gate that surround the property and pool. It was a very comfortable property with pretty much anything you would need. Easy recommendation and would definitely stay there again!
