Miami Beach Vacation Rental house

Famous Architect Built This Home: Exquisitely built Art Deco Mediterranean 2-story pool home by famed architect Lawrence Murray Dixon. Murray designed some of the most popular and famous hotels in Miami Beach. These include The Victor Hotel (1937), The Raleigh Hotel (1940), The Marlin (1939), The Tides Hotel (1936), The Senator (1939), and The Ritz Plaza Hotel (1940), to name a few. He was famous for his use of curved surfaces, which are evident throughout this house (archways, elegantly curved ceiling blending into the staircase)

Living Room Dream: Walking in to the soothing foyer, you step down into the perfectly designed sunken living room with romantic fireplace and hand-laid Italian tile. It took 3 men 2 months to complete just the fireplace alone, as each tile was carefully chosen for its aesthetic look and fit (many were removed and replaced in the process in order to eventually achieve just the right combination of uniqueness, style, and glamour) and is a true work of art. Sitting in the roomy living room and looking out the front, uniquely-styled curved windows, you feel like you are in a lush, exotic location. Surrounded by picturesque birds of paradise plants and imported Hawaiian coconut trees; eat the coconuts that fall to the ground when in season - the pure white meat is prized by locals who stop by every season asking for a few coconuts to take home. The coconut water that springs from inside each delicate shell is a true connoisseur's delight. Come when the coconuts are delicious and ready to eat.

The masterfully designed entertainment room is lavishly surrounded by oversized windows which oversee the dramatically designed and luxuriously private pool area. Refreshing water gushes from the mouth of a hand crafted lion statue and is the first thing you notice when gently stepping outside into the private canopy of the pool area. The awe-inducing Lion Fountain sprouts delicious waterfalls on each side of it that, if you close your eyes while letting the water gently cascade onto your now-soothed head, and listen to the sweetly chirping birds and tropical parrots that live in the towering coconut trees at the head of the house, will convincingly make you feel as if you are the only person on this secluded tropical oasis. You will want to spend most of your time in this private pool area surrounded by 12' tall ficus trees and wooden fence to assure your privacy. The secure and private design of the pool area will really allow you to enjoy this spectacular oasis in Miami Beach.
