This was an ideal home base for my weeks in Miami. It's located in a lovely quiet historic neighborhood. Walking distance to restaurants and to a lovely park on Biscayne Bay. I saw manatees at the seawall on my first day! The place is clean, quiet, private and very well appointed with everything you might need. If I come back to Miami, I will definitely stay here again!

Very clean, cozy and pleasant place to stay!

This VRBO is a very pleasant place to stay in a peaceful and safe neighborhood. It was so clean and provided everything we needed for our stay. When our flight was canceled and we suddenly needed somewhere to stay for two more nights, our host was quick to respond and gracious to allow us to stay two more nights at a moments notice. We loved our stay and would definitely stay again!

This cozy cottage is nestled in a safe neighborhood. Although close to Biscayne Blvd (which is busy), this street is quiet with no thru-traffic. People are jogging & walking their dogs all hours of the day. Hosts were easy to communicate with prior to check in, and we didn't need to request anything throughout the rest of our stay. Cottage shows some age, but It was clean and had all the basic necessities. Ideal for for one or two people. A short walk to numerous shops and places to eat on Biscayne Blvd. Outdoor seating area was relaxing with many plants & palms.

Great short stay in Miami

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights before meeting up with friends in Key West. The historic neighborhood is very cute. There is a small park on the bay at the end of the street. Great restaurants within walking distance. The cottage had everything we needed for our short stay. We have already recommended to friends.

Thank you, Dawn! We do most certainly respect our guest's privacy, and have designed this cottage retreat to provide a real 'retreat' feel with the private courtyard and privacy landscaping, etc. surrounding the cottage.

Great little getaway

My wife and I needed a long weekend somewhere warm, quiet and low key. This property was exactly that. Close to many great restaurants, short walk to the waterfront and quick Uber rides to downtown/south beach. Owners were easy to contact/talk to. Place was clean and quaint. Would definitely recommend for a couple looking to get away and relax.

This is truly a Hidden Gem!

We absolutely loved this cottage! My son lives 10 blocks away, so the location was perfect. The cottage is on a lovely, quiet street and is very private. It is immaculate and has all of the incidentals you might need in the kitchen and bathroom, there is even a washer and dryer, which is a bonus. The host is very responsive and helpful. I look forward to staying here again.

Hideaway Treasure

A wonderful little property for a couple of nights' stay in a quiet location but still within easy walking distance of restaurants. Unfortunately we found communication with the owners difficult. No hair dryer . We'd consider booking again, nonetheless.

Cute, quaint but super uncomfortable

The bungalow is well located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to great restaurants. Because it’s located behind the main house, it’s so quiet and secluded. I would give this more stars if they hadn’t put the oldest, rattiest and softest mattress on the bed. My husband and I didn’t sleep more than 2-3 hours a night because of it. Obviously, this put a damper on our entire trip. The owners seem nice enough, but they did not respond to emails I sent to them so I wasn't sure if I was emailing a service or the actual owners; that made me feel a little less at ease, but regardless...the place was beautiful and convenient to most of Miami!
