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.

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!

If you are looking for privacy and a great location, look no farther! This was the perfect place for me and my hubs to get away! The house was AMAZING! The pool area was perfect! So secluded and private! Quiet and peaceful! A true oasis! We even used the mangos that dropped to make margaritas!!
Hatsi was amazing! He was very responsive to my every need. He even helped me get a cake delivered to the property on the day of arrival so it was a surprise for my husband's birthday! He also has soooooooo many things already at the property that you don't see at other places! There are even more things there than in the listing. I would recommend taking a look around before going shopping so you don't buy things that are already there!
I can't say enough that this place is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! We will definitely be back next year! Thank you Hatsi for helping us to make a memory that will last us a lifetime!!

As soon as we entered the gate we fell in love with this property. The outside, including pool and hot tub were maintained very well. The inside, my family of 3 had the comfort and privacy to enjoy this cozy home. The host, just amazing! This home provides everything you need and if ever in the area again we will definitely rent again!

Stayed during the first week of February. The house and kitchen were fully equipped. The private backyard, pool and hot tub were what attracted us to this property - it didn't disappoint. Communication with the owner prior to our visit and during our visit were great. We would book again.

The house was very nice and just what we expected. The backyard pool and hot tub were wonderful. The manager/owner, Hatsi focuses on not just meeting but exceeding guests' expectations. We had some issues with the pool and hot tub and Hatsi was amazing and quickly responded and resolved the issues. My wife and I really enjoyed our time in Fort Lauderdale.

Nicely done! This is a great spot! We spent so much of our time just enjoying the Garden Oasis vibe and amazing weather. The projector was awesome for watching March Madness basketball games. Everything you need is there. The owner, Hatsi, was great to work with!! Thank you for a great vacation memory.

There were no disappointments on our stay at the Buddha Sanctuary Every minute detail was thought of and perfectly executed. The manager Hatsi was very attentive to anything that we might need to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Small details we did not think about before our arrival were already in place, from filtered water and cooking spices to sunscreen and pool amenities. This place is a true ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rental. You will not be disappointed!!! Thanks again Hatsi for your beautiful place and your wonderful hospitality!

1. Tasteful, high-quality décor & lighting, colorful tapestries, high-quality linens, dishes, appliances, movie projector, comfy furniture, BRIO water, comfortable mattresses & a helpful binder w/ useful info. All the amenities of a nice hotel, all the warmth & comfort of a home
2. Layout provided perfect balance for both privacy & communal time. Could be divided into private workspace if needed.
3. Meticulously landscaped outdoors provided a lush green healing ambience. Loved the pool, waterfall, birds, views -a private little oasis! The outdoor dining & nighttime lighting made meals magical. We intended to visit many restaurants, but mostly stayed home as it was so enjoyable
4. Perfect location near a jogging park, farmers market, thrift store, Sprouts, Pickleball, restaurants. We even had bikes we rode thru lovely neighborhood down to the beach.
5. Our host was so attentive- like having a personal butler (not overbearing & sensitive to our desire for privacy). I’m allergic to fragrances. He washed the linens washed in fragrance-free detergent & opened the windows afterwards so any remaining fragrances dissipated. Who does that! I’m also sensitive to wifi. He bought a special router to accommodate my ethernet cord so we could enjoy our technology in a way that kept me healthy AND productive. He cared for our personal needs just like a close friend would. I’m grateful for all Hatsi did to provide us with a phenomenal experience that made us feel at home & like guests.

I cannot possibly recommend the Buddha Sanctuary more to anyone considering staying there. Stop your search; you found the right place! Hatsi is an absolute joy to work with, and made everything so easy - but let me elaborate on just how easy he made it.
1. Upon arrival, we received an email (and paper copy in the place) with details on how the house, pool, and lighting work, as well as transportation and restaurant recommendations.
2. He has a set of four beach chairs that came in incredibly handy!
3. Check out requirements? None. We cleaned it up pretty good out of courtesy, but he didn’t ask for it at all.
This was the perfect house for my family of four. Our kids loved the hot tub, and at night, the whole pool is bright purple and the hot tub is pink - it was gorgeous to look at each night when we got back home!
We did have one slight issue upon arrival with the WiFi. Hatsi gave me his cell just in case and was immediately on the case - he was able to fix it from his phone and we were back on our way.
Hatsi, I cannot possibly sing your praises enough. We are so grateful that the previous VRBO canceled on us because it gave us the opportunity to stay at your place, which we should’ve chosen in the first place. We will absolutely be in touch again if we decide to come back down to Ft. Lauderdale!

We had a wonderful stay. Enjoyed the property immensely. It had everything we needed. The hot tub took awhile to heat but once it got there it was hot, hot. The bikes were awesome for exploring the neighborhood. We arrived late on Christmas Eve so I had groceries delivered to the condo and Hatsi even met them and put items in the fridge. Stay here.

The house was really clean and comfortable. We had everything we could need from pots and pans to beach chairs and towels. The bathrooms were very updated also. The pool and hot tub/Spa were to die for. The host Hatsi was very gracious and easily accessible if needed. The house is located in a cute little neighborhood within easy access to all the main roads and places we like to go to. A Ten out of Ten!! I would definitly stay here again and would welcome others to do the same. A great time had by all!!

The house was very clean and nice inside. Pool and hot tub was nice as well. Only thing i can say is out by the pool during day and night you will get eaten alive by mosquitoes so bring spray. One night we saw a raccoon and possum out in the back yard which was cool 😂 Hatsi made sure to help anyway he could. Overall experience was good, would stay here again just with more bug spray

Can't say enough about this property. Such an amazing vibe, beautifully decorated and has everything you need and more!
Hatsy is an amazing host and made the process very easy too.
We fell in love with the house and we are definitely recommending to all of our friends and family ❤️

This was a perfect spot for our getaway and we loved everything about it. We enjoyed using the pool and hot tub daily and loved how quiet and secluded it was even though it's a home with neighbors on all sides. The home is cozy and inviting.
The host has provided so many amenities that we used such as the nice grill, beach towels, and umbrella. Vista Park Beach was suggested and we were not disappointed by how beautiful and quiet the beach was. Definitely worth paying the fee to park there. There are plenty of close grocery stores to shop at so you can easily cook your own meals if you wanted. Super convenient.
Overall a great place to spend your time, we will come again for sure!

The outdoors is an absolute mini tropical paradise!!
Really enjoyed our stay! And not to mention those fresh mangos that were falling from that tree!! Indoors is a well-maintained fully stocked cozy home! Hatzi gave us a very personal experience, quick and helpful response. Thank you Hatzi for such an awesome experience!
Also minutes from nice quiet Beach!

There are really not enough words that I can say to describe this place. For it to be in a neighborhood, we never heard one neighbor or anything. It felt like we were on our own private island. The plants and trees on the property are as old as dinosaurs from what I can tell, and they are kept up with perfectly. We had fresh mangos everyday that fell from the HUGE mango tree in the backyard. The inside of the property was just as perfect. There was nothing missed - from robes to shampoo to spices and beach coolers and bikes, there is nothing that was missed.
Hatsi, the owner, was out of this world! He called/text the morning of check in to make sure the place was ready when we got there and he was available if we needed anything. He came over every morning and blew the pool area off and cleaned the pool. With all the plants and trees, it can make a mess. You can tell he takes so much pride in this property, and I cannot blame him.
We definitely plan to return soon and stay again - this is really one of those special places.

We Travel quite a bit and have stayed in many rental properties over the years, but this was by far the best experience my family has ever had! The house itself is adorably comfortable and had everything that we could possibly need: cozy beds with plenty of extra linens and blankets, really clean bathrooms stocked with soaps and lots of towels, and a cute little kitchen complete with dishes, cookware, spices and essential condiments. On rainy days we enjoyed the family room area which has a huge, plush sectional couch and a giant projector screen...we brought our own Roku stick, so it was fun to be able to watch the Cleveland Cavs and Guardians on such a big screen! On sunny days we really LOVED hanging out by the pool/spa- it's tucked beneath shady palms and completely private...and after dark, all of the outdoor lighting made for a really nice vibe!
And lastly, I just have to comment on our gracious host, Hatsi. I could tell that it really mattered to him that we were well taken care of and having a good time. Whenever we had a question, no matter how minor, he responded with an answer within minutes. He even texted us ahead of arriving (while we were boarding our plane) to wish us safe travels and to check on our ETA to ensure that the house was all ready for us when we landed...and when we were bombarded with an epic storm that shut down the airport and cancelled our return flight, Hatsi was quick to offer us as much time as we needed to check out given the weather and unsafe travel conditions...he went above and beyond for us, which was unexpected and much appreciated!
We will definitely be booking a future stay here!!!

Hatsi was a very friendly and accommodating host. He went out of his way to do the little things to make our stay extra special. Back yard pool and hot tub was great! Only a 10 minute drive to lauderdale by the sea which had a wonderful beach and awesome food. Would totally come back and highly recommend staying here!

My mother and I stayed here for a vacation. Our check-in process was delayed due to the owner making a mistake with the cleaners. However, he apologized graciously and refunded us a portion that covered our dinner while we were waiting. The house had everything that we needed. It was quiet, secluded, and the amenities were great. It was close to everywhere we wanted to go as well.

My wife and I traveled from the Pittsburgh area to Fort Lauderdale to have a weekend away without kids and celebrate our anniversary. This house was just what we needed! Hatsi was a great host and made sure that the house was prepped for our arrival. Extremely clean, stocked kitchen, plenty of towels and soap and shampoo in the showers. Not the BEST neighborhood, but you can't beat the proximity to beaches and other things to do in the Fort Lauderdale area. We enjoyed hanging out by the pool, running in the nearby "jogging park" and spending time on the beaches. We would definitely recommend this place to others.
Vista Beach (in the welcome packet) is a gem! Coffee and brunch at Bulegreen Cafe Yard was amazing!
Note: Before coming we considered just getting an Uber from the airport to the house, but ended up getting a rental car. We're VERY happy we made that choice, as we had to drive pretty much everywhere we went.

Owner really thought if everything for you! Outside space was awesome and inside was everything we need. We’d book it again if available.
