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.

This house was great for the two of us. We used it as a base for exploring Everglades and Biscayne National Parks. Our only issue was that one heard outside noises quite easily; in particular, we heard the nearby rooster crowing at all hours of the day and night (2:30 am, 3:00 am, etc.). Power went out once, and our host checked in by phone a few minutes later. All in all, a very good experience.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed. The host was friendly, responsive, and made the check-in process seamless. The location was ideal, close to local attractions but still peaceful and relaxing. We’ll definitely book this oasis again for our next stay in Homestead, Fl!

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Slice of Paradise. Jose was quick to respond and attentive. Slice of Paradise had such a cute cottage vibe. My grandson loved swimming in the pool with the koi fish and I enjoy sitting out on the front porch area in the early morning just listening to the water fall. The property was fully stock with everything we could need for our stay. The property was beautiful with plenty of seating and nicely landscaped. The neighborhood was very nice and he neighbors where quiet. The surrounding area had so much to offer from restaurants to shopping to everglade adventures. I highly recommend this little Slice of Paradise for your next stay in Homestead.
