Relaxing Time

Hatsi’s Buddha Sanctuary is a wonderful oasis. We enjoyed the pool and spa very much! There were so many little touches that we noticed as we were there, Like coffee, tea bags, laundry detergent and sunscreen! We hope to return one day when we’re looking for a relaxing vacation!

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.

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.

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!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!

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!!

Perfect home for small family

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!

Exceeded Expectations!

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.

A Slice of Paradise

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!

5 reasons (+2) this is the best property, host, and value we’ve ever found

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.

The perfect family vacation getaway!

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!
