First time in South Florida for a wedding. Very private, great location, and very affordable compared to more area hotels. The next time I visit, I will be sure to stay here again.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Location is convenient to everything in the area. The space has everything we needed and reminds us of when we lived in our first apartment together. Jim & Perry are awesome human beings and hosts. Home away from home💕

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.

This was our second time staying here. We had everything we needed. The garden was absolutely gorgeous, like a little tropical Oasis. Off-street parking. It felt like a little home away from home. The hosts.... Lovely folks, friendly and non-intrusive. This is definitely our spot:-)

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.
