Indulge in the ultimate relaxing tropical escape! Unwind on a private deck amidst lush greenery & Costa Rican wood floors. Immerse yourself in a meticulously designed one-bedroom oasis with a fully furnished interior, incl. a well-equipped kitchen, coffee station, breakfast table, cozy living room, washer/dryer & blackout shades. Conveniently located in a quiet, upscale residential near vibrant Downtown Coconut Grove, with easy access to Miami's top attractions. Please NOTE: No events or outside guests are allowed at the property.
Enjoy a captivating paradise where majestic wild peacocks roam freely and are fed at the property daily.
As a guest staying overnight, you will....
☞ Wake up to the morning calls of peacocks from your comfy queen bed. The ability to dim ceiling lights at night is a nice touch. What a restful night after such a simple self-checking. The 15 min. Lyft from the airport was easy.
☞ Roll up the blackout curtains to discover double glass doors that open onto your “slice of heaven” & bring in a tropical oasis that feels like Costa Rica or Bali.
☞ "Drink in the smell of the flowering vines, including angel trumpets and night blooming jasmine".
☞ Step into your expansive natural wood deck that merges into a vertical green wall with passion fruit vines intertwined with string lights, hidden amongst coconut, palm, almond & oak trees manicured with orchids.
☞ Take out the yoga mats from your spacious closet & take your time to warm up for the day ahead.
☞ Prepare your complementary Costa Rican coffee in either the French Press or regular coffee maker possibly with milk prepared to perfection with the Nespresso frother.
☞ Why not prepare breakfast in the fully equipped & stocked kitchen. It even has under-cabinet lights like at home!
☞ Enjoy it in the hanging hammocks in the tiki hut, while admiring the orchids & garden birds.
☞ Time to enjoy the fully furnished bathroom & shower with awesome pressure, like a mini waterfall.
☞ There is shampoo, conditioner, soap, towels, a hair dryer & even sun block, what a relief!
☞ Open your spacious closet to get beach towels + umbrella & head off to the beach!
☞ Time to explore the pergola in the afternoon! Turn on the fan & lay down in the hammock to start that book you finally get to enjoy, in between naps in the hammock. I almost forgot to bring the complimentary Bluetooth speaker.
☞ It’s so convenient to have clothes washing & drying at home – there’s even detergent onsite.
☞ Enjoy cooking in the Argentinian grill & sit down for dinner under the stars & cozy string lights.
☞ Sit on the coral rocks to enjoy conversation & dessert around the fire.
☞ How cool there’s a Sonos speaker to listen to music before finishing the day.
☞ There's a smart TV, a DVD player & DVDs but let me explore some of these books…
