Standup Paddleboards
Gas BBQ Grille

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.

Perfect space surrounded by nature.
Our stay at the jungle house was wonderful! This place is a hidden gem and perfect for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat. It's hard to believe it's so close to the busy city because as soon as you arrive, you step into an oasis filled with birds, butterflies, and iguanas. The studio itself is beautifully designed, with large windows that provide views of the greenery outside. The interior of the studio is both cozy and colorful. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked, and the bathroom spotless. Lisa and Robert greeted us when we arrived, gave us a tour of the property, and even provided cheese, wine, and other snacks for our stay. They really went above and beyond. We are already planning our next trip!

Beautiful one of a kind property and gracious hosts
Beautiful lush property on 2 tropical acres that you have all to yourself. The hosts live on site and are lovely people. We enjoyed spending time with them and getting to know them, but they will give you option if you prefer not to be disturbed. Great pool, koi fish, canal, and the unit is modern and has every convenience. You won't want to leave!

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!

The Jungle House Studio
My son and I were touring a college in the area and had the opportunity to stay at this beautiful property. The studio was very clean and has every amenity that you need for a comfortable and relaxing visit. The hosts are accommodating and responsive. We hope to stay again in the future! Thank you!

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!!

Perfect stay in a most amazing place
What a great stay. The property is beyond beautiful, and Robert and Lisa were lovely hosts. Everything about our stay was perfect. We got to practice a little pickle ball, took the paddleboards out on the river and the pool is amazing (next to a Koi fish pond!). We can’t wait to come back!

Our jungle house experience
Our visit here at the jungle house was beyond exceptional. Amenities easily blew any other vacation home out the water. I visit FL often and rent properties and this is my favorite one yet! I never thought I would stay at the same place twice but this will be the one! Really felt like our own private resort, and we were treated like royalty by the owners! They are amazing people and the property is just as amazing. I would recommend utilizing everything they have as I enjoyed every single bit. From locations to property to owners this was overall a fabulous experience. Do not hesitate to book!!
