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.

The property is enclosed with a tall wraparound fence, trees, and plants with locked entry for additional security and privacy.

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.

GREAT HOST AND BUDDA PROPERTY

We have stayed at many properties. The host Hatshi was by far the best host we have. The communication was great with Hatsi. The property was as advertised. Very clean,well stocked. Pool was cleaned twice in a five day stay. This is well a Hurricane passed through. We highly recommend the Host and property. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

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.

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!!

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.
