It is located in a very desirable area of the Redland, just a few miles north of downtown Homestead and just 20 minutes from Everglades National Park or Biscayne National Park and two marinas where you can launch your boat. Key Largo is 40 min. south. The Redland Fruit and Spice Park is 1/4 mile away.

There is a master bedroom (sleeps 2) with a king bed and another bedroom (sleeps 4) with a full-size bed and two twin beds. There are LED 1080p high-definition 32" SMART TVs in both bedrooms, as well as a 50" LED 4K SMART TV in the living room, all TVs have free NETFLIX and free Amazon Prime movies and different movies can be streamed, simultaneously on all three TVs. A 7th person could sleep on the sofa or could request the use of an air mattress. Extra bedding would be provided. The master bathroom has a tub/shower. The hall bathroom has a shower. Both showers have frameless glass sliding doors. There are two ADA grab bars in each showering unit. Both bathrooms have quartz countertops and solid wood cabinets. There are stainless ADA hand railings to both sets of steps. There is an electronic gated entry and new concrete driveway leading to both the front door and back door of this guest house. The back patio area is very large and will accommodate multiple vehicles, a boat, an RV, a box truck, etc... Water is provided via separate well to the guest house and is run through a water softener. A water cooler and 5 gallons of drinking water provided (this water is not softened and is filtered/purified). There is a $50 cleaning fee and required taxes will be charged according to State of Florida and Miami-Dade County law. The home has a 3 ton central air-conditioning. Tropical fruit from the property is provided for guests when in season, depending on the fruit. Most fruits are in season from May through September, tapering off after September although some are still available nearly year-round ( carambola and avocados). There is high-speed cable internet, which is hard-wired directly to the house. This then connects to a router so there is uninterrupted and very fast Wi-Fi (100+Mbps) throughout the home. You just need to type the password into your device, which is located on the router and provided in the arrival instructions. A second sent of linens and towels are provided upon request for stays of more than 5 nights . There is no maid service.

A campfire pit with cooking grate is available and firewood may also be available, depending on the time of year. Absolutely no pets and not negotiable. We want to be able to cater to guests with allergies to pets. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US ASKING TO RENT THE PROPERTY TO HOLD LARGE GATHERINGS, WEDDINGS, RECEPTIONS, CEREMONIES, PARTIES, ETC... THAT INCLUDE MORE THAN 7 PEOPLE ON THE PROPERTY. This is a vacation rental home in a very serene, quiet and peaceful property and we wish to keep it that way for our guests who come (most from far away) to enjoy their time 'away from it all'. We believe that the house is complete and has everything you could possible want or need. If it doesn't, we'll do our best to get it for you during your stay. This place truly is spectacular and we are confident that you will be glad that you chose to stay here.

Great location, great host
First off, Wayne was very responsive to our communications - not that much was necessary... Secondly, the location was great for us: in the middle of the Redland (great fresh veggies and fruits), 1 hour to the Everglades, 30 mins to the Byscane Ntl Park, 1 hour to Miami Beach, etc. Plus easy access to the Keys...

among the best
We travel often; this was definitely among the best places we've rented. Very clean, comfortable, and private. Wayne was very responsive and helpful. We definitely hope to stay here again if/when we return to the area.

Nice place to stay!
The gate code was a little tricky as it gave several options for codes. Not sure if they updated the code but forgot to take it out of the description for check in? Wasnt that big of a deal once we had the remote. Very private, sat out on the patio in the evening. The beds were uncomfortable. They were very firm beds. Very clean and private. The only reason i wouldnt stay again would be due to the uncomfortable beds.

A Hidden Oasis
What a wonderful property! The home was well appointed with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The home was immaculately clean and comfortable and much larger than we expected. The grounds were beautiful and surrounded by lovely farms and nurseries with local food and culture. The owners were very accommodating, responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back to stay at this wonderful hidden oasis in the country!

About the host

Hosted by Wayne

Host profile image
Married couple that have become 'empty nesters'. We are both educators and also tropical fruit farmers.

Why they chose this property

Very secluded and private in the heart of the very desirable 'Redland' area of southwest Miami-Dade County, just minutes from Biscayne Bay, the Everglades, the FL Keys, factory outlets, and surrounded by south Florida tropical agriculture (fruits, vegetables, ornamental nurseries, tropical fish farms, etc.). This place is very private and you will feel like you are in the country.

What makes this property unique

Very large patio area for parking boats, multiple vehicles, RVs, etc. You can have a campfire, barbeque, clean your fish, wash your vehicles/boats, etc. on over 3,500 square feet of brand new concrete patio. The house sits on 5 acres of tropical fruit trees and has an electric gated entry way.
