The Perfect Stay in Pinecrest
Casa Mango is the perfect place to stay in Pinecrest or South Miami, especially for families with young children. My wife, son (toddler), and I stayed for three weeks and had a lovely time there. Everything about this property is wonderful, and we cannot recommend it highly enough.
The house was meticulously clean when we arrived and is very well appointed throughout. The interior design and furnishing rivals those of many five-star hotels, but obviously the living and sleeping areas are many times larger. We only needed two of the four bedrooms, but each one looked great and able to accommodate guests of all ages. The family room is comfortable and includes a modern smart TV great for unwinding while watching a movie with family (though there is always something to do in Pinecrest that doesn't involve television). The living room is airy and elegant and would be great for relaxing and having some time for oneself, provided you do not also have a toddler who is constantly on the move. Outside, the pool and patio are fantastic and the backyard is very spacious.
Pinecrest is the most family-friendly community we have ever visited. It has parks galore buzzing with other parents, nannies, and children who are very welcoming and happy to make new friends. My wife and son had so much fun spending every morning at the park. Our two favorites are Evelyn Greer Park, which is just a stone's throw away from the house, and Coral Reef Park in nearby Palmetto Bay.
Lastly, a special thanks to James and his agent, who made check in and our entire stay so wonderful. We did not have any issues that required contacting our host during our stay, but James very graciously checked on how our stay was going from time to time and was always quick with a reply. He is an impeccable host, and I am very glad to have worked him and made his acquaintance.
Casa Mango is the perfect house for a winter stay in a perfect community . We very much hope to return next year!
