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.

Parking was great. James was a good host, and a pleasure to chat with. The place was mostly clean, and there were ample clean towels, including beach towels. The bed was comfortable. Lighting was not ideal. When I needed bright light to work on a project at night, I removed the lamp shade from the standing lamp and put the lamp next to the table. The lush gardens are beautiful, but with gardens come bugs. There were small flying insects in the room, but not many, and only slightly annoying. Three nights were fine, but the “kitchen” area is too small for a long term stay.The quiet neighborhood and off street parking are 2 more reasons this is a nice place for a short term stay.

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!

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.

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.
