 Paradise Found!, November 13, 2008

By Joseph Harris (Washington, DC)

This place is a remarkable jewel in the heart of South Miami. The grounds are gorgeous and include a well-kept lawn, tennis court, treehouse, lily pond, swimming pool, swing set, several outdoor eating areas, flowering trees and a section of local flora. The lake view is stunning and filled with passing waterfowl (loons, ducks, geese, ibises, etc.) that make for an entertaining show each morning and evening. For those wanting a closer look, there is a fun little paddleboat that we took out on several excursions. The location provides easy access to the airport, Key Biscayne, South Beach, the Everglades, and even Key Largo if you ever feel the need to leave the premises. Shopping centers within a few blocks provide all the food and other amenities you need. The premises are very clean and comfortable and include Direct TV and loads of DVDs and videos (especially for young kids). Our party included 5 adults and one toddler and there was plenty of

 

 Great Place, July 7, 2008

By Ellen Drowns (Michigan)

We stayed at the end of June to early July. The place was beautiful. The views were great. It was a nice relaxing place to retreat to after a day of hiking in the Everglades. The owner is nice and helpful as well. I'd recommend a stay here.

 

 secluded paradise, June 24, 2008

By David Gordon (Kansas City, MO USA)

We were "wowed"! Once my family arrived, we were amazed by the beauty. We felt as if we were in a miniature botanical garden. Gorgeous flowers, a beautiful lake, and yet our private pool, tennis court- even a tree house for the kids. I gather the lake is a private lake for the 15 or so houses that surround it as we never saw another person in the week we were there. The kids loved the paddle boat and pool, my wife loved the gorgeous beauty of the flowers and scenery and we all relaxed more than we have on any other vacation. Included with the house is Direct TV, mega DVDs and even a walk-in closet filled with games. We had more family time than any other vacation and we were able to relax and escape. As secluded as it was, the house is still close to so much- including a short drive to the ocean (which we only did twice because we found we liked the privacy of our place to be far superior.) I would not trade our experience for any five star resort in the 48 states.
