It was in a beautiful quiet community! The owner was delightful and accessible when we were in need. I enjoyed relaxing on the private back patio! No children no pets! Awesome vacation!!! I will definitely go back!!!!!

We absolutely loved staying here! We stayed two days prior to our cruise. It is in a quiet neighborhood but we were able to walk to a Publix as well as a great Thai restaurant about 15 minutes away. Wayne went out of hi way to make us feel at home. We were there Valentine's Day and the was a heart shaped box with chocolates in it on our night stand when we arrived! Lovely simple breakfast each day as well! Would definitely stay again!

This place is a hidden oasis. It’s charming, quiet, and comfortable but it’s only minutes from Fort Lauderdale beaches and amenities. The manager Chuck is super friendly and welcoming. He made our visit feel special and he couldn’t do enough to accommodate our needs. We would definitely return!

Loved the small kitchen and the setting which is very nice around the pool. The staff/owners are excellent very nice. The only negative would be the loud a/c unit in the room. It did keep the room cool but it was very loud.

Sorry about the air conditioner noise, but those units, because most of them are so close to the bed , can be an annoyance.

Exceptional place with amazing service!
I absolutely loved staying here! They truly go above and beyond. I needed an early check-in, and they communicated with me ahead of time and did everything they could to help me. When I got to the guesthouse, everyone was so nice and friendly, and the place is gorgeous and so clean. My room was very comfortable and had everything I needed. Whenever I needed anything, someone was around to help me happily. The owner was great, making sure I was enjoying my stay, and I have to give Jorge a HUGE shoutout for helping me out when I really needed it. Thank you for being amazing!!!

Quiet and peaceful away from all the crowds/tourists yet a quick walk or Uber to the beach. No children (or adults under 25 for that matter!) allowed is even better. Sets the mood. Pool and jacuzzi is spectacular. Complimentary breakfast. They will try to allow late check outs too. Chuck the manager makes you feel incredibly comfortable. Great guy. Great spot!

Had fun.
Enjoyed the stay and the host was super nice. The rooms are nice and little balconies fronting the room were nice too. Only knock is that smoking was allowed outside at the pool area which is where breakfast seating was too.

The best place to stay in Fort Lauderdale!
We stayed here while we were going to the Miami Open. We had a great time here. What a great place. The staff here is very nice, especially the owner and his helplers. (Although Chuck is not the friendliest). There is always great coffee in the morning with a light breakfast. The pool that is here is lovely and the hot tub is AMAZING! We only wished all the jets worked but we enjoyed it every night when we came home. If we come back next year, this is the place to stay!

No one ever complains about the A/C - Sorry to hear you had trouble falling asleep . As for the shower being clogged ... You should always let us know if something isn't working properly.
