Had a great relaxing stay at Blue Lotus. Property is immaculately kept. Back yard is truly an oasis. Owner communicated clearly and I got in with no issues. The home is incredibly well kept and clean. I did uber to Las Olas Beach one day, about 15 minutes. Great stay!

So nice to sit by the pool!!
We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Lotus. Gary is a great host - extremely responsive. House is very cute and cozy. Kitchen is compact but very functional. The real star is the backyard pool area. Several sitting areas both shaded and in the sun. The landscaping is really pretty with plenty of palm trees. Believe it or not, it’s even nicer than the pics. Very convenient location - max 15-20 minute drive to most places you’d want to go.

Wonderful and relaxing stay
We came here with twin infants and this house was perfect! We had our own little oasis and didn’t need to leave if we didn’t have to. The house was clean and very welcoming. You had everything you needed to cook. Very close to restaurants and beaches. What you see on the listing is very accurate. The neighborhood is very quiet. We would stay here again if we come back to Ft. Lauderdale.

FTL Getaway
I was in desperate need of a getaway vacation after the New Year and Christmas holidays. This home in Fort Lauderdale couldn't have been more perfect. Centrally located in the heart of the city, it was seemingly close to all the major attractions and about 8 min. from the airport. Upon arrival, I had some issues with the electronic door lock. Gary and Rocio were easy to reach by phone and had a backup plan already in place just in case there was an issue. They actually came over to the house the very next day to fix the lock. The home contained everything one would need for vacation, from kitchen to living room to the awesome pool and backyard which included a brand new Weber grill! Also, since I'm kind of a technology geek, the home had high speed internet, DirectTV, and RokuTV so you could log into your own favorite TV apps in case you wanted to catch up on a show if there was a rainy day. As I live in NJ, winter weather can cause a problem with travel as was the case with this trip. Rocio and Gary were able to extend my vacation so that I was able to travel after the snowstorm that was happening at home. All I can say is awesome and impressive! I will most definitely be back.
