Escape to Coconut Grove Miami’s Tropical Paradise! Cottage w Private Garden

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…

Everything was as advertised: the well-appointed unit, the peaceful deck in the back with tons of flora, the green and leafy neighborhood, its proximity to activities -- and the resident peacock. Caterina is the ultimate host -- warm, welcoming and accomodating. I highly recommend.

Tranquility in the heart of Coconut Grove
My wife and I booked this with the hope we could find a relaxing destination that wasn't too far from things. The property is absolutely lovely and quiet, we enjoyed relaxing to a morning cup of coffee in the back garden. It's also only a ten minute stroll to downtown Coconut Grove and a short drive to Coral Gables, South Miami, and Key Biscayne. Catarina was wonderful, the checking in process was simple and clearly explained. We loved this place so much that we hope to stay here the next time we're in Miami.

Beautiful place with a great host.
This place was perfect for our stay while dropping our son off at the University of Miami. It was comfortable and Catarina was a wonderful host. We did not get a chance to utilize the courtyard as much as I would have liked due to our schedule but it was a nice place to sit in the mornings and evenings. We plan to stay here again and will be recommending it to our friends and family.

It was a perfect fit for our needs. Catarina was such a wonderful and pleasant host.
My husband and I came to get away for a days and it felt like home as soon as we arrived. It was peaceful and away from the noise of the city but still close enough to anything we may have wanted to do. The pictures were exactly what we got and she was available to answer any questions we may have had very quickly. We would definitely come here again!

What a wonderful place to stop and relax! The studio was so well decorated, fully stocked for anything needed to enjoy the weather. Catarina was excellent, informative and willing to provide any help we needed. The woodwork both in the studio and the backyard are stunning! The decks, flowers and layout in the backyard are so Feng shui. We walked into Coconut Grove several times and really enjoyed the area. Catarina - thanks again for a wonderful vacation.

gracious retreat
Closer to the airport than I would have guessed. Mature tropical forest surrounds the neighborhood. Short and pleasant walk to downtown. The room is very beautiful and comfortable - peaceful uncluttered space which looks out on the beautiful garden. Quiet neighborhood as well. My favorite part of the trip was napping in the hammock and listening to the birds and the wind. Our hostess was extremely gracious and helpful with orienting us and making sure we were comfortable. She had great recommendations for where to go and what to do and provided us with good resource material as well. We highly recommend this listing and will visit here again the next time we are in Miami.

Beautiful place to stay and enjoy the Coconut Area. !
The Teak Studio was just beautiful to look at and stay in. The whole place had a wonderful Zen feeling and you could relax and in just a few minutes walking distance you can enjoy the Coconut downtown with restaurants ,and even the ocean is within reasonable walking distance. Catarina was lovely and so gracious, I could have moved in ! Lee 2017

A great getaway spot
The unit is perfect for two people. it's comfortable, clean, and has a truly amazing teak deck in the back. Catarina was away and her friend Philippe took very good care of us. He was attentive and very responsive to questions and minor needs. The location is excellent. Coconut Grove "downtown" was very close by and the house is well situated for getting to other parts of Miami very easily. At the same time, the house is in a heavily wooded area which makes you feel removed from the hustle and bustle of an urban setting. There are peacocks roaming around in the late afternoon and a walk in the neighborhood reveals a collection of very diverse, beautiful homes ranging from cottages to mansions. I highly recommend this home to anyone who wants to be close to the action but not staying in it.

Warm, cozy beautiful place far apart from all the noise.
We loved this place, at fist before we saw the place in person we taught it might be too smal, but after seeing it we were like 😍😮 fully mouth open. It's perfect for a couple get away or a family for three, Catarina is the most welcoming person I've met thru VRBO she did made sure to make us feel at home, before I even flew when we talked over the phone she was making sure if there was anything in particular I need it so she can get it for me and that says a lot about a landlord. Anyways the place is beautiful super comfy teak wood all over the place from the entrance to the back yard (big bag yard) walking distance to downtown coconut grove .. Lots of places to eat , shopping stores , bars etc ...

Charming atmosphere and a good night's sleep
Catarina has a lovely property. The wood is exceptional. We slept well as it was quiet with a very comfortable bed and good shades to make the place dark. Her decor is zen-like and charming. The kitchen is well- equipped and the place was very clean. There was a great, large screen TV on the wall and Catarina's friend was very nice and helpful to take time to show us how to use the DVD. We stayed in Catarina's home (not the studio) so I am not sure if this review is in the right spot. However, I would assume the studio is lovely as well. Our only disappointment was that we did not find this spot easy walking distance to restaurants. Of course, that is a function of your age and fitness level and others may well find it doable. Thanks so much, Catarina!

A Transcendental Experience
The custom wood studio in the Grove is so much more than just a place to stay, it is a sanctuary is a tropical oasis. The first morning we were there, we were greeted by four peacocks in the back yard. The second morning were saw a flock of brilliant blue and yellow parrots in the palms trees. The custom wood that covers the floors and makes up the deck in the back court yard is stunning and it produces a hypnotic vibe all its own. Everything was very clean, very organized and neat. We were able to walk to all the best of the Grove. We highly recommend the Tavern, the Taurus and the Barnacle. The owner was attentive and an excellent host. For the total Grove experience, this studio is the place to stay. I highly recommend it and I look forward to having an another opportunity to stay here. Mary November 9-13, 2015
