The home is exactly as pictured, and was a great option for our adult children to have their own space while attending our youngest child's UM graduation. Steve, and his property manager Diana, were extremely responsive and made everything easy.

UM Graduation Celebration
This beautiful home is a perfect location, close to the University of Miami. The owners and property manager are a pleasure to work with. It is a comfortable home with lots of room. It is a short walk to the pool and hot tub.
Very comfortable for family vacation. A good base for visiting local attractions.

Coral Gables Townhouse
The property was perfect for a several week stay to vacation and spend time with family. The property was clean and comfortable. The gated community was safe with easy access to Coral Gables, The University of Miami, and Coconut Grove. The owner was readily available to take care of any concerns. Highly recommended. .

Fabulous property!
The townhouse is as beautiful as the pictures. It is spacious, well-equipped and the owners are very communicative. We were able to work remotely while in town to move our daughter into U Miami and the location was very convenient to UM as well as Target, Publix and SoMi restaurants. Would highly recommend!

Perfect Girls' Getaway
The pictures that describe this place are spot on! The moment we walked we knew we picked the right place for our Girls' Getaway. The pool & hot tub are just steps away with a great lake view! Everything we needed was within a 10 -20 min Uber ride. The hosts were great & checking in was easy. Thank you again for the wonderful place to stay, and we will certainly be back!

Perfect Gates Community
I travelled with all girls to Miami & didn’t know the area so much so we decided to stay in a gated community for safety. I felt super safe. Everything was provided & the place was clean. Access to the pool was easy & we didn’t have to walk so far. The guards at the gate new we were the renters, so they allowed us in without an issues. I highly recommend!!

It was amazing. We had some great family time in the backyard, at the pool, and at the lake. It was easy to find, conveniently located between the dolphin and dadeland mall in a great neighborhood with really nice neighbors. We will definitely return.

Comfortable, Scenic and Quiet
This townhouse is clean, comfortable and has everything you need to feel right at home. The neighborhood including the backyard is nicely landscaped and feels very private and quiet. A well-kept community pool and hot tub are just steps away. We were warmly welcomed by the property manager when we arrived and when we ran into a problem with the cable, the manager and owner instantly responded to my text and promptly worked through the issue with the cable company. The townhouse is well-situated as it wasn't more than a 10-30 minute drive from everything we set out to do (UofMiami, beach, Venetian pool, wynwood, malls, Target). Overall a wonderful experience.

A True "Home Away"
Our three month stay truly exceeded expectations. We share the many positive comments that have been made about the Starks and their lovely home, but there are a few things that are worth adding. For starters, everything, but really everything, that one may need is there! From a corkscrew that works well to extra light bulbs and spare batteries to (for once) enough hangers -- Rita and Steve have anticipated your needs. For once, we haven't had to rush out to the nearest Target to get essential supplies!
But welcome as that is, that's the small stuff. The really remarkable quality this home has is a serene comfort. The furnishings and appointments are welcoming, attractive and picked with an unerring eye for good design and good taste. And everything works!
Finally, it is hard to imagine better hosts: friendly, helpful, and immediately responsive to any needs. Simply an ideal place to stay if you have the good fortune to land there!
