With a fully equipped kitchen, an outdoor grill, and dining areas inside and out, you'll be able to enjoy intimate home-cooked meals in charming settings.

“Hop along, my little friends, up the Withywindle! Tom's going on ahead candles for to kindle. Down west sinks the Sun: soon you will be groping. When the night-shadows fall, then the door will open, Out of the window-panes light will twinkle yellow. Fear no alder black! Heed no hoary willow! Fear neither root nor bough! Tom goes on before you. Hey now! merry dol! We'll be waiting for you!”
—Tom Bombadil, The Lord of the Rings

We wish we could have stayed longer but we truly enjoyed our evening just being in the home made it feel like we flew to another country and enjoyed the entire layout of the home
Cool little bungalow in a great location with very responsive and accommodating hosts. Comfortable for my family of two adults and three teenagers. My only suggestion is that a blackout curtain in the bedroom to block out light from the street light, and some kind of curtain on the glass bedroom door would be an easy way to make the place even better.

Why they chose this property
Coral Gables is a beautiful historic neighborhood with Spanish revival architecture and massive ancient banyan trees lining the streets. It has an old Spanish feel to it and is very walkable (especially by Miami standards). There are a plethora of unique boutiques, bars, and restaurants in the area and it is also very central and near to other well-known Miami attractions.
