Miami Beach Perfection!
Submitted: August 4, 2012
Stayed: July 2012
Arriving through the stately iron gate and driving down the long, palm tree lined driveway, you suddenly realize that you are entering a special place, a sanctuary if you will.
And it is.
The estate offers an updated vision of what was once a more elegant and timeless South Florida experience. The beguiling Spanish Colonial mansion is very spacious, but that it is only part of the story. At every turn one glimpses architectural details and quaint views that further support your intuition that this was and is a unique part of Florida. The estate is lushly landscaped and appointed with an Architectural Digest like pool. And there is the waterway and its sweeping views of several iconic Miami Beach towers, including the Fountainbleu Hotel.
The kitchen looks to be new and the surrounding common areas are smartly furnished. There are multiple sitting areas. The bedrooms too live up to the high standard of the rest of the house, in particular the second floor master and the junior master off of the living room. There are too many bathrooms to remember.
My stay was very relaxing; certainly a result of the laid back, elegant vibe of the estate. In that regard, I look forward to booking my next stay, hopefully an annual event.
