The location and property are fantastic. This is a very comfortable, quiet and secluded place to stay. the neighbourhood is walkable and with many other activities short drive away. Catarina is the best host we have ever experienced. A super Miami experience!!

Well furnished
We like to stay in places that feel cozy, like a home. The full kitchen has plenty of pots, pans and dishes. There were even frequent go to spices and cooking oils. The location is great for morning and afternoon walks. The parking is secure and backyard is private. Cat, the owner, is warm and responsive.

.A Great Retreat
Our accommodation was quite unique. Even though it was a studio there was ample space for storage. Through the sliding doors was a luscious garden, hammocks and chairs for a delightful day outdoors. Of course there was a barbecue and a large table to eat outdoors. I am looking forward to visiting our friends and family and stayiing there again.

Relaxing NYE Retreat in the Grove!
Cat's studio in Coconut Grove is the ideal location for a relaxing trip. Beautiful outdoor space, highly walkable location, and indoor space with everything you could need for your stay! We hope to return soon!
This place is a treasure. Better in person than even photos indicate. Tastefully and beautifully appointed inside. Gorgeous patio w palms orchids are all meals outside in backyard.
Peaceful beautiful place in the heart of the Grove.

My stay at Loquat exceeded expectations. The outdoor shower at night and meeting Majic, the peacock, were my high points. Caterena is a jewell of a hostess. Hope to return soon.

Therapeutic getaway
Everything was as advertised: the well-appointed unit, the peaceful deck in the back with tons of flora, the green and leafy neighborhood, its proximity to activities -- and the resident peacock. Caterina is the ultimate host -- warm, welcoming and accomodating. I highly recommend.

Hip pad in The Grove!
The property is absolutely beautiful. We felt like we were in Costa Rica! The backyard space is lush and extremely spacious. The peacocks are a bonus! It’s a quick walk to the local restaurants! I would highly recommend this space.

Tranquility in the heart of Coconut Grove
My wife and I booked this with the hope we could find a relaxing destination that wasn't too far from things. The property is absolutely lovely and quiet, we enjoyed relaxing to a morning cup of coffee in the back garden. It's also only a ten minute stroll to downtown Coconut Grove and a short drive to Coral Gables, South Miami, and Key Biscayne. Catarina was wonderful, the checking in process was simple and clearly explained. We loved this place so much that we hope to stay here the next time we're in Miami.

Beautiful place with a great host.
This place was perfect for our stay while dropping our son off at the University of Miami. It was comfortable and Catarina was a wonderful host.
We did not get a chance to utilize the courtyard as much as I would have liked due to our schedule but it was a nice place to sit in the mornings and evenings.
We plan to stay here again and will be recommending it to our friends and family.

It was a perfect fit for our needs. Catarina was such a wonderful and pleasant host.
My husband and I came to get away for a days and it felt like home as soon as we arrived. It was peaceful and away from the noise of the city but still close enough to anything we may have wanted to do. The pictures were exactly what we got and she was available to answer any questions we may have had very quickly. We would definitely come here again!

What a wonderful place to stop and relax! The studio was so well decorated, fully stocked for anything needed to enjoy the weather. Catarina was excellent, informative and willing to provide any help we needed.
The woodwork both in the studio and the backyard are stunning! The decks, flowers and layout in the backyard are so Feng shui.
We walked into Coconut Grove several times and really enjoyed the area.
Catarina - thanks again for a wonderful vacation.

gracious retreat
Closer to the airport than I would have guessed. Mature tropical forest surrounds the neighborhood. Short and pleasant walk to downtown. The room is very beautiful and comfortable - peaceful uncluttered space which looks out on the beautiful garden. Quiet neighborhood as well. My favorite part of the trip was napping in the hammock and listening to the birds and the wind. Our hostess was extremely gracious and helpful with orienting us and making sure we were comfortable. She had great recommendations for where to go and what to do and provided us with good resource material as well. We highly recommend this listing and will visit here again the next time we are in Miami.

Beautiful place to stay and enjoy the Coconut Area. !
The Teak Studio was just beautiful to look at and stay in. The whole place had a wonderful Zen feeling and you could relax and in just a few minutes walking distance you can enjoy the Coconut downtown with restaurants ,and even the ocean is within reasonable walking distance.
Catarina was lovely and so gracious, I could have moved in !

オーナー : Cat
I was born and raised in Costa Rica before moving to the United States for my studies. Along the way, I've had the incredible opportunity to live in diverse places such as Germany, England, and Los Angeles. These experiences have shaped my perspective and fostered a deep appreciation for different cultures and lifestyles.
Having had the privilege of extensive travel, I've developed a passion for exploration, movement, and adventure. I feel it is a privilege to discover new destinations and immerse myself in the vibrant tapestry of the world.
Despite my global adventures, Costa Rica remains close to my heart, as it is where my family resides. It will always be my cherished home, alongside the vibrant city of Miami. The warmth and hospitality ingrained in Costa Rican culture have influenced my approach to hosting, as I strive to create a welcoming and enriching experience for each guest.
In 2013, left corporate real estate life to volunteer & explore some more. From the Maasai tribe in Africa to Amazonian & indigenous tribes in Colombia & Costa Rica, I sought deeper cultural connections. In 2021 a new adventure began when connecting with my own neighborhood thanks to an orphan peacock called Magic which was delivered in my doorstep and magically has brought our neighborhood together.
Thank you for choosing my vacation rental. It is an honor to be your host and share my passions and experiences with you. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything I can do to help plan and make your stay truly exceptional.

Welcome to a place that holds a remarkable tale of perseverance and passion. Originally acquired as a foreclosure, this property was abandoned for numerous years, presenting a daunting challenge.
The journey began with the arduous process of clearing liens, a task that lasted over a year.. As fate would have it, I encountered an unexpected setback when the roof collapsed and the City, announced the imminent demolition of the property. Through tenacious negotiations, I was granted the opportunity to restore this dwelling to its former glory.
The true labor of love unfolded I undertook a complete gutting of the interior, while preserving the sturdy cement walls and floors. The transformation involving truckloads of soil to fill the previously overgrown lake and a dense "jungle" that once surrounded it. With unwavering commitment, every aspect was revitalized, from the fully renovated kitchen and bathrooms to the installation of hurricane windows, A/C systems, electric wiring, plumbing, sewer connections, trusses, roofs, and alarm systems.
Upon the completion of the project, I embarked on a life-changing journey to Africa, dedicating my time to volunteer work. Returning with renewed inspiration, I meticulously added the finishing touches, including a storage shed, beautifully crafted wood fences at the front and back, and an enchanting teak wood deck that seamlessly blends with the surrounding landscape. The outdoor shower and bathroom, adorned with bamboo fences, harmoniously merge with the local lush beauty.
Stepping into your vacation rental, you'll sense the essence of Costa Rica, reminiscent of the place I proudly call home. Experience the extraordinary at my uniquely restored vacation rental, where a story of determination and transformation awaits your arrival.
Book your stay now and immerse yourself in the beauty of my labor of love.
この宿泊施設の特徴
The most extraordinary feature of my vacation rental is the abundance of Costa Rican teak wood throughout. This cherished wood holds a unique story, as it was planted by my father during my childhood. Together with the help of my brothers, we carefully cut the trees and applied the exquisite wood finishes crafted by our family business in Costa Rica. I personally took charge of the flooring and meticulous details, while the original cement walls and floors serve as a reminder of the property's history prior to our involvement: an abandoned crack house and the neighborhood's eyesore. Brace yourself for a tropical experience, as you encounter a Costa Rican retreat in South Florida.
