Private bedroom + den suite - shared pool/garden in the heart of Fort Lauderdale

We stayed for two weeks at Bernie's Hideaway and enjoyed a tranquil vacation in a lovely, private setting. Our host offered us everything we needed to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The tropical garden surrounding the the heated pool provided a perfect setting for enjoying the Florida sunshine. Our suite included a comfortable queen-sized bed and a separate sitting room for reading and watching a complete line of streaming options. The washer and dryer were an especially appreciated feature! Thank you, Bernie and Patriciu, for making us feel welcome and very much at home throughout our stay.

This is our second time staying with Bernard and his partner. Once again such an amazing experience. From the word go Bernard treats you with such care that it truly feels like a personally tailored vacation just for you. We will be back again and again. Can’t recommend this rental enough!

Our stay was perfect from beginning to end. Bernard is an excellent host, very considerate, informative and a great baker. The space was immaculate, bed very comfortable and all the amenities were there for our use. The outdoor space was a dream come true. We can’t wait to visit again!

Bernard was a fantastic host to a fantastic destination. The suite and pool were the perfect oasis. I couldn't have asked for a better week.

We enjoyed our stay and the property owner was awesome and responsive to any questions. I appreciated that the property owner ordered my favorite coffee for my mornings. The suite was nice plus the pool was great after a long day of shopping. If I’m ever in Florida again I will stay here again.

This place was like a little piece of paradise! The grounds and the house were beautiful, very clean. You had every thing you could need or want. Between the muffins and banana bread it was hard to leave.

I came to Fort Lauderdale to have surgery. The owner was very friendly and nice guy. He made muffins and banana bread for me during my stay. Also, he was thinking about my surgery The room was very clean and quiet. I had a comfortable stay. The pool and garden were great ad I was able to relax. I would like to come back and staying here again !!!!

Where to begin? Before the wheels on our plane even touched the ground, Bernard made sure to check on us and make us feel more than welcome. Once we hit the ground Bernard picked us at the airport (12:30am mind you) and gave us the grand tour. Everything at our rental has been thought out to a T; from our favorite coffee creamer waiting in the fridge to the luxury spa robes set out neatly on the bed. Bernard’s hope is more than beautiful; between the pool, landscaping, and interior design this is your own personal paradise in the middle of a bustling city. Bernard has every recommendation you will ever need for local cuisine and everything else. We just so happened to pick the week when it rained 30 inches in 24 hours and the whole city was flooded. Bernard went out of his way (making cookies, banana bread, checking on us) to give us a great experience even with the weather. Luckily, our last couple days the sun came out and we got to experience the true Florida vacation we planned for. We CANNOT recommend this place enough if you want a peaceful, relaxing getaway. Close enough to anything you can imagine to do for fun, yet far enough away to get to enjoy the peace and quite on a beautiful Florida night. We are planning our trip back for next year and will most definitely be staying here again. Thanks again Bernard for everything, could not have been more perfect. 11/10 stars ⭐️

I would give this lodging 10 stars out of 5 if I could. Everything was perfect. Bernard is an amazing host-highly communicative, extremely thoughtful and fun to talk to. He checked in regularly to see if we needed anything, and even provided us with our favorite beverages. The lodging and everything in it is squeaky clean. The bed is super comfortable. There are all the amenities you’d hope for (dishes, etc) and tons you wouldn’t expect (spices, in-unit laundry, robes/slippers, beach chairs and umbrella). The location is perfect-close to beaches but in a nice walkable neighborhood so you can get away from the touristy chaos. The pool and grounds are beautiful and there is a grill if you feel like dining Al fresco-which you will because it’s so lovely dining poolside on a beautiful evening. Truly our favorite Vrbo ever. Thank you, Bernard, for making our vacation wonderful!!

This was our first time using this type of service and let’s just say our host set the bar very high for all the rest. A Pristine property- it was even more beautiful in person and all of the amenities he provided were more than we had ever expected. Upon meeting our host you could tell instantly that he loves making his guests feel welcome and treated us how he would want to be treated as a guest. We more than enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to another one.
