A real great place to stay

The property is like an oasis in the middle of a city. It is very centrally located with easy access to the freeway so getting around is not a problem. This property really felt like a home away from home and my significant other loved it (from the garden to the decor). The hospitality of the hostess is second to none. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Cute Cottage

First Time in Miami

Inez's cottage was delightful and so much more than I expected. The location was perfect to main street Little Havana where we spent most of our time. The cottage is very clean and well supplied. Ines found my glasses after we left and promptly mailed them to me at my next location. Thank You for a wonderful stay.

Charming!

My husband and I stayed at Ines' for one night because we were going to a baseball game at Marlin's Park. We chose the place for proximity (only a 1/2 block from the ball park), but it would have been a wonderful stay for any reason. The cottage is charming, romantic, and well stocked, and Ines' is a wealth of information about the local area and the best restaurants. We look forward to coming back again sometime to enjoy Miami Spice!

Absolutely wonderful cottage in Little Havana

This is a great cottage hidden away by a small tropical rainforest in Little Havana. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised from the moment we arrived until our check out a week later. Wonderful host who made sure we had everything we needed including fresh fruit, yogurt, juice, milk and pastries every morning. Inez asked if we needed any information for food and sightseeing several days before we arrived and checked in with us each day to make sure we had everything we needed. I would recommend this vacation rental to anyone.

Relaxing and Peaceful

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage is well maintained and the gardens were relaxing and peaceful. The owner was a delight! Upon our arrival she offered to let us accompany her to the grocery store. She was always attentive to our needs and very responsive to our calls and texts. She provided several sight seeing recommendations which we enjoyed. Since we had no car she encouraged us to try Uber which we found to be a great way to get around.

Charming backyard cottage

This is a charming little backyard "cottage" surrounded by the owner's lovingly tended gardens. It's in a central and generally quiet location making it easy to get to different parts of the city; is also not far from the airport. We had a comfortable stay here for over a week while we explored Miami using ride shares. The owner, Ines, is a warm and attentive hostess, and provided lots of information about interests we expressed: food, music, art, transportation, etc. We enjoyed several backyard conversations with her, and she made sure we had whatever we needed. Highly recommended!

Baseball Paradise

Paradise is one block from Loan Depot Ballpark where the Miami Marlins play. I come down with a friend every year to watch the Braves play the Marlins. You can see the stadium from the front of the house. It’s a short walk and you are inside the air conditioned ballpark to watch Major League Baseball. We stay in the Bungalow/Wild Rose behind the house which has a kitchen. Breakfast is provided everyday and delivered to you door. Great place to stay for you baseball fans or to visit Little Havana!!

A Wonderful stay at the Wild Wild Rose

The Wild Wild Rose is two blocks from Marlins Park! Dan and I went to see the Braves and Marlins play two times. There is nothing like walking across the street to the game and having a short walk home after the game. We are Braves fans from Jacksonville Florida and we really had a great time and the Braves won both games. We spent one day in Little Havana and exploring Miami. Ines served us a breakfast platter with the best banana bread in town. Docs Provisions was our favorite Restaurant. Ines Cortes is the best B&B hostess ever! A must stay if you are a baseball fan!

Idyllic cottage within walking distance to Calle Ocho

I stayed here for 10 days for a work trip and it was perfect for this. Ines was very helpful form the start, always giving me comprehensive info to my many queries in advance and during my stay. The cottage is in a lovely garden which is very pleasant to sit in, and is scrupulously clean throughout with a very comfy bed and linens. Calle Ocho is about a 1 1/2 mile walk away and is a great way to see the neighbourhood--also Calle Ocho has wonderful Cuban restaurants and cafes--I went there for dinner several times. I travelled without a car and used a bike and Uber (on Ines' suggestion) to get around--both worked very well. There is a Walgreen's 2 blocks away and a Winn Dixie 20 minutes' walk away. The proximity to the stadium shouldn't worry non-sports fans, as even during a game the area was relatively quiet. Ines is a wonderful host, completely helpful and informative and can fill you in on any aspect of the city you wish to learn about.

Thank you Katie for your review. I am glad you could move easily by bike and UBER . The location of the cottage is really close to every center of interest in Miami.

Thank you for staying with us, for making us proud to be hosts and for making our heart sing ! Come back soon, you are always welcome.

A Little Oasis

One of the best small cottages you will find anywhere. Tucked away in the lush garden behind the main house, this a peaceful and visually interesting property. We were met at the gate by Carlitos, a friendly and welcoming cat who kept us company outside and entertained. Ines, owner, is a lovely woman and we couldn't ask for any more kindness and care for our comfort. We loved the information and notes left around the cottage. Always helpful to know the workings of an unfamiliar shower, etc. The kitchen had what we needed - microwave, fridge, dishes, pots, coffee maker and coffee, tea, granola and yogurt, juice and milk. The bed was comfortable. The chairs were a great place to sit and chat or watch TV. Books, lots of books on the shelves. Ines used one of the guides to help us plan a day out and about in the Miami area. We highly recommend Little Havana as a little oasis in a big city.

Wonderful Garden Cottage with Outstanding Host!

Ines is an exceptionally kind, knowledgeable and generous host. The cottage was perfect for my two night stay. The granola, milk, juice, coffee and chocolates were a very nice touch and greatly appreciated. The cottage was also well stocked with local information, books and basic toiletries as well. I could not have felt more comfortable and welcome! If you are going to Marlins Park, you can literally see it from the property and it is a 3 minute walk. It is also located very close to Miami International Airport. However, with quick access to the Dolphin Expressway, you're only a short ride to Miami Beach, Downtown and points north/south as well. Ines kindly shared her recommendations for area attractions and restaurants. The Wyndwood Yard, Wynwood Walls and Calle Ocho in Little Havana are must sees and I am grateful for her suggestions. My only regret is that I did not have enough time to take in all of the places that were recommended! Thank you, Ines!

About the host

Hosted by Ines Cortes

Host profile image
I love nature, beautiful things, kindness, intelligence, generosity, a sense of humor creativity and honor. I love good architecture, kayaking, horses and my cat, Clinton. I also love my dog Koko but I have to confess a weakness for Clinton. The both of them are so sweet and funny. I am a World Music aficionado with a particular interest in African pop. I enjoy traveling and in particular I am crazy about India. I want to visit Turkey, Burma, Turkistan and Prague and will do so soon.

Why they chose this property

Our home was built in 1926. It has the original pine wood floors, doors, handles, crown moldings and windows. I love the music the windows make when you open a close them. The mango tree is majestic even though it lost half its crown in a hurricane prior to 2002. The fruit is delicious and plentiful. It reminds me of places back home where music is played under a big tree and there is always plenty of food and drink for everyone. I have planted a lot of greenery in the property. Kind of hit and miss but I have a sabal palm that is to die for - It makes up for all the ones that did not make it. We have a front porch that overlooks the street and it is shady and delicious during late afternoons.

What makes this property unique

When I first saw this house I knew I belonged to it. The way the house sat on the lot was gracious and light. Every detail from the exquisite cracked tile in the front porch to the glass handles and the keys to the rooms enamored me. Living in a city that has a fancy for anything that is shiny and new, I realized I had found a piece of Miami's history and I wanted to preserve it.
