THE LOCATION:

We are delighted to share our home! We are located within walking distance of both the Design District and Midtown Miami – the Institute of Contemporary Art, galleries and restaurants, high-end shops like Fendi and Gucci, and also shopping essentials like Target. 20 minutes walk to Wynwood or a 5 minute drive. This is one of the few places you are able to walk everywhere!

In the other direction there is a 5 minute walk to upper Buena Vista boutique complex which consists of outdoor dining and coffee shops and boutique stores. We are also surrounded by some fo the best restaurants such as Mandolin consistently voted one of th best outdoor restaurants in Miami.

If you have a car or grab an Uber you can travel 15 minutes to Miami Beach, 15 minutes to the airport, 15 minutes to Downtown/Brickell, and the easiest closet beach would be heading straight across NE79th Street to North Beach (10 to 15 minute drive)

The LISTING:

This listing is for the cottage at the back of our house, which includes separate upstairs and downstairs apartments with two separate entrances. Both units have been fully renovated with brand-new kitchens and bathrooms.

THE APARTMENTS have a king bed, kitchen, living room area, bar kitchen table, separate bathroom with shower. The furnishings are very similar and are all fully equipped with everything you need!

We provide an equipped kitchen with a full-size fridge with freezer, full-size stove and oven, microwave, pots and pans, and crockery and cutlery. Seating is around a breakfast bar, the living room area has direct tv and of course a great internet connection!

The king bed is in its own space. We wanted to have an open floor plan, so the king bed can be separated from the kitchen and living area with a large curtain. The King bed has a leather frame and a very comfortable memory foam mattress. You also get a sofa bed in the living room area, perfect for an additional or occasional guest. It has a brand new a/c split unit.

THE OUTDOOR SPACE:

To reach each cottage you would go through a gate, which is shared with the other guest. We provide the code prior to arrival. Each cottage has its own entrance. Both the laundry room and the backyard jacuzzi area is shared between guests. The jacuzzi is completely decked and enclosed. This is fenced area with a door and lock for privacy. As we have shared laundry and a shared backyard, we ask all guests to be respectful of one another in terms of noise, especially after 10 p.m. Laundry and hot tub available from 8 a.m.-10 p.m. daily.

SInce the photos were taken we have laid new decking and surrounded the property with flowers!
