Testimonials

We rented the house for two weeks and it was HEAVEN. Gustavo said it was like taking the kids to Disney Land without the crowds. Elena has stocked the house with every imaginable toy to please a kid from infant to toddler to teenager. The house is perfect for a family - great pool, wonderful kitchen and eating areas, bedrooms comfy etc. etc. We will make this an annual event. Thanks Elena.

We enjoyed visits to the beaches on Key Biscayne - enjoyed a scrumptious lunch of flaky fresh delicious snapper at the Lighthouse Cafe, we spent a rainy afternoon at Cul De Sac [Sunset Place Mall], walked the entire Miami Zoo (one of the nicest zoo's I ever visited), spent a nice morning at Vizcaya Gardens, made frequent trips to the lovely park just across from the house and really relished many afternoons sitting by the pool and lounging at the house. A very relaxing family vacation. Thank you for such lovely hospitality.

I love your Pinecrest house! It was so easy to get around and see all the great sites and then to come "home" to an oasis. The house has great energy and everything we needed. Especially loved the late night swims in the heated pool! We'll be back!

Just a quick note to say thank you for sharing your lovely Pinecrest home with us. We had such a great time and enjoyed many of the beaches and restaurants you recommended. We're back in Brooklyn now where the 35 degree temperature seems unbearably cold compared to Miami's 85. Loved it and miss it already. Hope to come back again sometime! - Ashley and Eric, Brooklyn, NY

Just back from my second stay at this wonderful house, and ready to book my next one! Everybody in the family enjoyed the vacation, from the kids (3 and 5 yrs old), to the adults, even the dog! It is completely child-proof, and very adult-friendly too, with a perfect layout for closeness when you want it and solitude when you need it. -Natasha and Family, Buenos Aires

We love this little piece of Paradise!! The layout is cozy and "homey" while also allowing us all to comfortably have our own space - even our baby and nanny. It's fully equipped so the baby was happy. I was even able to work from home in peace and comfort. The proximity to playground, tennis court, and shopping made this the perfect tropical retreat. We didn't want to leave! -Teresa & Charles, Washington, DC

We totally enjoyed our stay at Pinecrest – good neighbourhood and the house felt comfortable and relaxed with all the essentials at hand. It offered different spaces inside and out, to be together and also enough space to spread out. We were very taken with the potential for young children to have room to play safely and would love to visit again with grandchildren. The screened in good sized pool was a particular pleasure. There were so many places to go to visit, shop, wander, eat, etc. You could happily stay there a long time! -Margaret, England
