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.

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...

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!
