About this property

The large 800 sq. ft. open living space has a floor-to-ceiling glass wall with northern exposure for the most beautiful light. Each window has
its own white curtain panel that lets light in but also
provides complete privacy.

Concealed behind a secure gate lies a completely private two+ acre slice of paradise.

Our amenities include:
Private tennis/pickleboard court
Heated saltwater pool
Two person Kayaks
Standup Paddleboards
Gas BBQ Grille
Kitchenette with microwave, toaster oven, induction
cooktop, and full-size refrigerator
Keurig coffee maker and Nespresso espresso maker
Every cooking and dining amenity you will need

Visitors often liken it to a tropical retreat, but in reality, you’re only a 5-minute drive to I 95, 10 minutes from the airport, 15 minutes to downtown Fort Lauderdale and 5 miles to the beach.

The newly constructed studio resides on the property where we live. It’s entirely separate - equipped with its own amenities and 2 private outdoor seating areas - one in the sun and the other shaded beneath oaks and palms. You are free to enjoy the heated saltwater pool or cruise down the New River Canal in a two-seater kayak or paddleboard launched from our boat ramp. If tennis, pickleball, or basketball is your game, you can do that too on the private sport court.

If you are inclined to gamble or check out a show, you
will be 10 minutes from the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino
and 15 minutes to the Broward Center For the
Performing Arts.

Your TV is loaded up with Netflix, Prime Video, HBO, Disney, Apple TV+, Peacock and Hulu

Forget your toothbrush? No worries. We’ve got you
covered - from organic condiments, yoga mats, organic
sheets, Starbucks coffee, board games, Alexa, sunburn lotion, or any other amenity. If you should need anything else, we are here to help make sure your stay is a 5-star experience.

There is a queen size bed and a fold-out sofa bed with a curtain for privacy.

We live on the property - so you may see us coming and going, however, your privacy is always respected.

We are pet-friendly.

This is truly a special way to spend a few tranquil, peaceful days in the tropics.

We welcome you to paradise.

Tranquil Oasis

Just the break we needed. Superior grounds, art and accoutrements for a phenomenal experience. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave for even a moment so bring everything you need with you and just enjoy the property. The hosts were amazing and we all feel blessed to have experienced their energy. When I think of this place my first thought is when can I come back.

Tropical forest property with modern, clean smart home

They treated us like family. The place is high tech, modern, clean , roomy and comfortable. Special touches such as fresh flowers, snacks and toiletries were greatly appreciated. The property is serene and our kids loved the paddle boards, basketball court and koi fish pond. The hosts are attentive and definitely go out of their way to make sure your stay is pleasant. We will be back for sure!

Perfect escape

Do not look furhter!! The property is absolutely perfect, hosts are the most wonderful people, there if you need anything but also provide you with all the privacy one would expect. The guest house is super clean and modern, it has small kitchen but equiped with everything you may need and beyond, from induction stove to air fryer to espresso machine.. In addition, beds are very comfortable, washer/dryer are huge plus, and shower pressure is phenomenal! There is so much to do at the property alone. We used kayaks/SUP daily to explore canals and the river, our 6yr old took fool adventage of the pool, and my husband and I enjoyed playing pickleball on the private court. There was little reason to leave :) Overall, outstanding and highly recommended, we hope to return!

Paradise

Don't know where to begin or end in describing how wonderful our experience at Robert and Lisa's studio was. They have clearly put a lot of effort into making the place comfortable and clean as well as thinking of everything someone may need on a Florida trip. We loved the quiet neighborhood and we felt very safe there. Fast reliable internet for streaming movies. We fished in the canal that is on the property. We also took out the 2 person kayak and took advantage of the tennis court and pool. Personally Lisa and Robert are among the kindest people around. They clearly care about how each guest receives the studio and amenities and Robert even asked us our opinion on what he could do different or better. Thank you again for making our trip so special!!

About the host

Hosted by Robert Katz

Lisa and I have lived here for 20 years, and have strived to make our property an oasis. We recently constructed the studio for our friends and family - and we are offering it to outside guests. Our house is hidden away at the other end of the property, and you may never see us - but we are here to make your stay a special one.

What makes this property unique

If you are looking for a getaway where you can relax in the tropics - or play pickleball, tennis, kayak or windsurf on your own - this is the place for you.
