Guest Fav | 5BR Family Estate | Pool + Half Acre

This five-bedroom Palmetto Bay estate has a half-acre of tropical backyard, a private pool, four full bathrooms, and enough space that twelve people can share it comfortably without ever feeling like they’re on top of each other. It’s the kind of place families and close-knit groups book when they want to actually spend time together — a real dinner at a table that fits everyone, mornings by the pool before anyone’s quite ready to face the day, evenings that don’t require a plan.

Palmetto Bay is one of Miami’s quietest and most beautiful neighborhoods. It’s residential, it’s peaceful, and it has that genuine old-Florida feel — wide lots, big trees, unhurried streets. The whole point of staying here is to slow down a little while still being twenty minutes from everything Miami has to offer.

The Backyard
The pool and the half-acre of lush tropical landscaping behind the house are what make this property different from anything else in this price range in South Florida. It’s a genuinely large outdoor space — multiple seating areas, mature palms and flowering plants, and a pool that the master bedroom opens directly onto.

It’s designed for the kind of easy, unstructured time that’s hard to find in a city like Miami. Someone reads by the pool, a few people cook something, the kids run around — that kind of day. The landscaping gives it a canopied, private feel even though you’re in a neighborhood.

The House
Vaulted ceilings and an open layout make the main living area feel spacious even with a full house. There’s a proper dining area that seats the whole group, a kitchen that’s actually set up for real cooking — full appliances, espresso machine, drip coffee maker, complete cookware — and multiple living spaces so different people can be doing different things without crowding each other.

Smart TVs in every bedroom and the main living area. Central A/C throughout. In-home washer and dryer. The kind of practical setup that makes a week-long stay genuinely comfortable rather than just functional.

Sleeping — up to 12 guests:
• Master Bedroom: King + 2 Twin beds · Private en-suite bath · Direct pool access
• Bedroom 2: King bed
• Bedroom 3: 2 Double beds
• Bedroom 4: 2 Double beds
• Bedroom 5: 2 Double beds — great for kids or teenagers

Four full bathrooms means mornings actually work. The master bath is private to the primary bedroom and doesn’t get shared with the rest of the house.

The Neighborhood
Palmetto Bay is an incorporated village in South Miami-Dade — quiet, residential, and genuinely removed from the noise of the city. Big lots, mature trees, and a neighborhood pace that’s rare this close to Miami.
• 10 min to Coral Gables and Coconut Grove
• 15 min to Biscayne Bay
• 20 min to Miami International Airport
• 20 min to Miami Beach
• 25 min to Key Biscayne
• 45 min to the Florida Keys
It’s a great base for a family or group that wants to explore Miami during the day and come home to somewhere genuinely peaceful in the evenings.

Who Books This House
Mostly families — multi-generational trips, cousins and aunts and grandparents who haven’t all been in the same place for a while. Groups of close friends who want a real vacation rather than a hotel stay. Extended families doing a holiday or reunion trip through South Florida. We love hosting all of these and have had some wonderful stays with groups like this.

We’re in a quiet residential neighborhood and we ask that guests be respectful of the surrounding community — this is a place for relaxing and spending time together, not large gatherings or events. Our maximum occupancy is 12 guests.

The home is not childproofed — please supervise children around the pool.

Scheduled maintenance visits (pool service, lawn care) may occasionally occur and we’ll always let you know in advance.

All TVs are Smart TVs for streaming — no cable.

Exterior security cameras on the outside of the property only.

Pet-friendly — just reach out before booking.
