About this property
Garden Oasis with Private Heated Pool & Spa, 2 miles from Fort Lauderdale Beach
"The Buddha Sanctuary" is a unique tropical oasis experience with beautiful gardens around the property. There are several fruit trees that ripen at different times throughout the year.
Enjoy private use of the "The Zen Pool," a heated pool and spa. Catch some sun or relax with the calming sounds of the poolside bamboo swaying in the wind. Or make it a pool day with the BBQ grill and poolside refrigerator for drinks. At night, enjoy the combination of warm glows from the garden contrasting with the blue pool lighting. Life is good, sit back and look up at the stars.
The property is enclosed with a tall wraparound fence, trees, and plants with locked entry for additional security and privacy.
