We believe that the house is complete and has everything you could possible want or need. If it doesn't, we'll do our best to get it for you during your stay.

Great location for a stay near the Everglades

We went to both the Everglades and Biscayne National Parks. It was a great location for either of these parks. The property was secure and perfect for our group of 4 adults. The full kitchen was nice to have so that we could make our own breakfast each day.

House convenient to two national parks

The house was exactly as described and had everything we needed for our stay. It was in between the Everglades and Biscayne National Parks, which were our destinations during our stay. The property is lovely and while we were there the star fruit and loquats were ripe. We also lucked out to get a beautiful Florida avocado - it was delicious! The house was very clean and comfortable. The beds were comfortable as well. We would highly recommend staying here.

Perfect!

Our stay was just what we were looking for, peaceful and relaxing away from the hustle yet close enough to enjoy being near family. Wayne was awesome and very easy to communicate with. The home was spotless, and beds comfortable.-everything was as described. The fresh fruit and avocados were a highlight. The house had everything we needed, loved having a dishwasher and laundry.We felt safe and well cared for renting this VRBO.

Great location, great host

First off, Wayne was very responsive to our communications - not that much was necessary... Secondly, the location was great for us: in the middle of the Redland (great fresh veggies and fruits), 1 hour to the Everglades, 30 mins to the Byscane Ntl Park, 1 hour to Miami Beach, etc. Plus easy access to the Keys...

A Hidden Oasis

What a wonderful property! The home was well appointed with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The home was immaculately clean and comfortable and much larger than we expected. The grounds were beautiful and surrounded by lovely farms and nurseries with local food and culture. The owners were very accommodating, responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back to stay at this wonderful hidden oasis in the country!

Perfect road trip location with owners that care

The property suited our (2 couples) situation with each couple having there own bathroom facilities. The kitchen is well stocked for eat in/out options. We made use of the open fire pit which is a nice touch. The outlook from the back of the property is excellent! We used this location as an entry point to the Keys, as well as to Miami tourist spots and it worked well.

A must if it's available!

This place was priced cheaper than hotels but was a much higher quality stay. It is gates so that took away any stress of our stuff being messed with. We never encountered anyone so it was very private. The inside is beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. Very clean and in a good central location to a lot of things to do. I hope this place is available when we book our next trip to south Florida!

Couldn't ask for a better vacation

The property was exactly as listed. Property was VERY clean and we felt right at home. The location was convenient since we were visiting Everglades NP and Biscayne NP. The most impressive thing, though, was how great Wayne was with communication. He responded right away if we messaged him and he left us some fresh goodies from the orchard. If you are looking for a property in this area don't pass this one up. We couldn't ask for a better vacation and rental experience.

Nice place to stay!

The gate code was a little tricky as it gave several options for codes. Not sure if they updated the code but forgot to take it out of the description for check in? Wasnt that big of a deal once we had the remote. Very private, sat out on the patio in the evening. The beds were uncomfortable. They were very firm beds. Very clean and private. The only reason i wouldnt stay again would be due to the uncomfortable beds.

About the host

Hosted by Wayne

Host profile image
Married couple that have become 'empty nesters'. We are both educators and also tropical fruit farmers.

Why they chose this property

Very secluded and private in the heart of the very desirable 'Redland' area of southwest Miami-Dade County, just minutes from Biscayne Bay, the Everglades, the FL Keys, factory outlets, and surrounded by south Florida tropical agriculture (fruits, vegetables, ornamental nurseries, tropical fish farms, etc.). This place is very private and you will feel like you are in the country.

What makes this property unique

Very large patio area for parking boats, multiple vehicles, RVs, etc. You can have a campfire, barbeque, clean your fish, wash your vehicles/boats, etc. on over 3,500 square feet of brand new concrete patio. The house sits on 5 acres of tropical fruit trees and has an electric gated entry way.
