Coconut Grove's Secret Sanctuary: Lush Garden/Deck, Full Kitchen & Free Parking

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.

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…

My stay at Loquat exceeded expectations. The outdoor shower at night and meeting Majic, the peacock, were my high points. Caterena is a jewell of a hostess. Hope to return soon.

Therapeutic getaway
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.

Hip pad in The Grove!
The property is absolutely beautiful. We felt like we were in Costa Rica! The backyard space is lush and extremely spacious. The peacocks are a bonus! It’s a quick walk to the local restaurants! I would highly recommend this space.

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!
