Photos and Description of the Coconut Grove vacation cottage rental 2 bedrooms, one bath, comfortably sleeps 4

Truly one of a kind. Storied 'Lost Reef Cottage' built in masterful Old Spanish architectural style of the1930's, in private coral rock/ garden setting in Miami's historic Shenandoah neighborhood. Spacious and comfortable retreat from the fast-paced city just outside its walls: green, serene, & refreshing yet centrally located. An excellent 'home base' in every respect, painstakingly restored. Central a/c comfort, soaring beam ceiling, stained glass, Florida coral rock. Wonderful master bedroom with large queen size (IKEA) bed; roomy loft; full, quality kitchen (incl. microwave, dw); clean comfortable bath (shower), NEW washer/ dryer! Great possib. for private historic garden 'compound' with house next door, prop. # 174127. Super place to entertain or kick back, enjoy Satellite TV, or pick up a book from quirky but fun library. Hi-speed Internet provided. For more info, visit our web log (link under 'Further Details' below, or Google 'Lost Reef Cottage.') Thank you

Additional information about rental rates

  • Immediately adjacent to property 174127 (same owners).
  • With us, 'high season' does not mean sky high prices. Same great value, year 'round. Google 'Lost Reef Cottage,' and take a look!

    Rates based on suggested maximum of four (4) persons, parties of five (5) considered.

    All major credit cards, PayPal accepted.
  • Important notes: The experience we offer is not to be had elsewhere in South Florida, for any price. Due to size, design of cottage, suggested maximum of four (4) persons per party. Also, certain unique features of the Cottage may be challenging, or potentially unsafe, for children not yet at a certain level of maturity. (Though many have happily stayed...) Specifically, a 12' tall ladder leads up to the sleeping loft above. It is strong and well-secured, but no place to play. Also, an excavated coral rock formation out front, central to the landscaping of its tropical garden setting, (though completely enclosed) might call for adult supervision of very young, energetic, and curious children!

Lovely cottage

Thalina Durham, U.K.
Review Submitted: September 13, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
My husband, seven year old son and I had a very pleasant stay at this extremely well equipped and beautifully decorated cottage. It was a pity we were so jet lagged that we didn't really get the most out of our time here, including use of the garden. We arrived late at night after a delayed trans-atlantic flight and were welcomed by Paul and shown around despite the hour. It was great having a computer with internet access in the study. Location was very good if you have a car.

Still dreaming of elsewhere

phineas NYC
Review Submitted: July 17, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
My husband and I spent several glorious days and nights in this most magical place. I still don't know how I stumbled upon Paul's amazing website but once I did I was a goner. The house and cottage are even more charming and inviting than any photo can convey. The first time I entered the cottage I started to laugh because it was just so incredibly wonderful. Paul and Alan were perfects hosts and we now think of them as old friends.

Home Away From Home

Cissy and Rich South Carolina
Review Submitted: May 22, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
This was our second stay at the Lost Reef Cottage. We wanted a "home" to stay in for our son's graduation from the University of Miami and the cottage was perfect for us. It was easy to get to from the Ft. Lauderdale airport and convenient to the University while we were there. We enjoyed the comforts of the cottage and also the surrounding gardens. It is quiet and peaceful and you won't even know that you are in the city! The owners, Paul and Alan, have thought of everything you might need. We used their grill to cook out one evening and ate in the outside dining area. We loved having the space to spend time with our family as we celebrated the occasion. We barely got in a visit with Paul as he was sick while we were there, and Alan was out of town (we did meet his lovely mother!) , but we felt their welcoming presence and will surely return when our travels bring us back to the Miami area. Thanks again!

Paradise in Coconut Grove/Miami

Suzi Flamingo Kenosha, WI
Review Submitted: February 28, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
From the moment we drove up to the Lost Reef, we were at "home". From the enchanting gardens, to the artsy, homey feel of the cottage, we had found paradise in the midst of chaos. Paul & Alan have made this property into a very clean, over the top in amenities(down to paper towels and a computer) place that we would certainly visit again. It is very quiet and the neighborhood has some great architecture. We highly reccommend the Lost Reef Cottage.

An Unusual Hideaway

Truronian Truro, Cornwall, UK
Review Submitted: December 23, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
A most unexpected place to stay with some quite quirky features. Basically a very good 2-person house which will sleep up to 6 (with a good size bed settee and a futon on a mezzanine floor. It is well hidden behind the owner's main house. There is plenty of space and it is clean and well equipped, including a computer in the study for the use of guests.

The garden is wonderful, it's like being buried in the jungle. There is lots of seating and the whole garden is beautifully illuminated at night which makes it a lovely place to enjoy a glass of wine (or two, or three) in the warm night air. Even the glass topped garden table has lighting hidden in it.

The description of the property is accurate and well detailed in all respects with a very good, navigable "Street View". The owners were very friendly, taking trouble to ensure we had an enjoyable stay; any little problems were quickly resolved.

The property is located in a predominately Spanish/Cuban area so language is a slight problem at the shop/cafe/launderette, which is no more than a minute away, but the shop is amazingly well stocked with everything you could want for self-catering.

A very good place to relax or use as a base for sightseeing.
