About this property

Slice of Paradise near Everglades, Keys, & Biscayne National Park

Our quiet getaway is well equipped for a short or long stay away from home. The home is a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of life. Situated on a large private lot with a gated entry, you feel like you are in another world!

We have a wonderful natural aquafer pool that is created from coral and fills continuously with fresh water fed by an underground aquifer. Water temp is approximately 75 degrees. The pool has Koi and other fish to balance the natural environment. The pool can be swam in or just dangle your feet. Adjacent to the pool you can enjoy an outdoor show complete with cold and hot water.

We have also provided a relaxing atmosphere both inside and outside. This house has plenty of outdoor living and dining spaces that are perfect for the private retreat you desire on vacation.

The home has 2 bedrooms to sleep 4, but can accommodate 6 with a roll away bed on request. The living room also can accommodate a guest on the large leather couch.

Beautiful, private space - excellent location

Awesome oasis property in a great location, allowed us to feel secluded while still being close to amenities. Easy to get to most of what South Florida has to offer, Miami, Everglades, Biscayne, Kay Largo, etc. The natural pool was amazing, the kids loved swimming amongst the fish. It was a great place to call home for a week.

Hidden Gem

We had a lovely stay at this hidden gem! The house & yard are very private even though it’s right off the road. The home was well equipped with what we needed for a comfortable stay and the decor was beautiful. The natural pool was fascinating! We will definitely be back if we come back to Homestead!

Loved the house. It was a perfect home base for our trip to Everglades and Biscayne National Parks. The grounds were beautiful and serene. The interior is beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we needed. There was plenty of options available witthin a ten minute drive for eating out, grocery stores, and other things. I'd definitely recommend tthis property.

Unique South Florida Property

Beautiful live plants, koi fish swimming, great decor, multiple outdoor relaxing sitting areas among all the bougainvillea plants - we just loved this property, pricing, and owners. The street noise was a little high but the waterfalls drowned out the sound most of the time. So close to Biscayne and Everglades National Parks along with restaurants and fruit and fresh fish markets.

Amazing little place

This property was amazing! My wife and I stayed here during our wedding and absolutely loved it. The house was beautiful, but the yard was what we really loved. The coral rock pool/ koi pond was our favorite. I highly recommended this property to anyone looking for a quite little get away from reality.

Great Stay

Jose and Becky are some of the best hosts I've ever rented from. Wonderful people and they were very quick to respond to my questions. The aquifer pool is incredible. Pictures can't do it justice. We stayed for 7 days and had a marvelous time! I wouldn't think twice about staying again. I wish we could've stayed even longer.

The oasis is HUGE

This was an amazing stay by a gracious and hospitable host. You can swim in a natural pool and cook by the fire -tv in every room and beautiful renovations. 22 mins from Everglades, near Robert is here within 50 minutes of Miami and 1 hour of key largo for John pennecamp - best of all it’s dog friendly!

A beautiful home in Homestead

Jose and Becky have a beautiful and relaxing home that was perfect for us when we were visiting Homestead. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook at home and the outdoor spaces were great for hanging out, especially the pool. Jose was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our stay; highly recommend!

Absolutely stellar! 10/10 and will be back

This property is one of the best VRBOs I’ve stayed in. Super clean, well decorated, with plenty of amenities. The pool was cold, as expected from a natural aquifer, and it was rough on your feet since it’s coral rock. Bring some flip flops or water shoes. The charcoal grill and the fire pit and sitting area were delightful. The owner was incredibly gracious and had great communication. I plan to stay here anytime I’m in in the area.

Great!

The house is nicely decorated and very well furnished. We enjoyed using the pool (shared with the koi’s 😍😄). 30 min from the Everglades,1 hr from MIA, 2.5hr from Key West was an advantage. Street was somewhat noisy and crowded but ok. Too much cameras around the house that we didn’t feel comfortable with. Mattress of the large BR could be replaced.

Enjoyed our stay!!

The place was excatly what we needed for our Family which included our two dogs. It was perfect for us! The pool, the patios, the ligthing, the fire pit, upgraded showers, and kitchen. All made for a cozy stay. The home is also fenced in with a electronic gate. The host, Jose, was very welcoming and was a pleasure talking too. There are some great restaurants and shopping centers all within 5-10 mins. I recommend staying here! I will do so again in the future.

Great little oasis in Homestead

This was a great stay. We especially enjoyed the pond/pool and swimming with the beautiful fish. The place has everything needed to just stay put and relax in the shade, but it’s also close to all the south Florida attractions. Would definitely stay again if in the area!
