Slice of Paradise near Everglades, Keys, & Biscayne National Park
Our quiet getaway is well equipped for a short or long stay away from home. The home is a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of life. Situated on a large private lot with a gated entry, you feel like you are in another world!
We have a wonderful natural aquafer pool that is created from coral and fills continuously with fresh water fed by an underground aquifer. Water temp is approximately 75 degrees. The pool has Koi and other fish to balance the natural environment. The pool can be swam in or just dangle your feet. Adjacent to the pool you can enjoy an outdoor show complete with cold and hot water.
We have also provided a relaxing atmosphere both inside and outside. This house has plenty of outdoor living and dining spaces that are perfect for the private retreat you desire on vacation.
The home has 2 bedrooms to sleep 4, but can accommodate 6 with a roll away bed on request. The living room also can accommodate a guest on the large leather couch.

Great spot for exploring the national parks. The host went above and beyond to make sure we had a good stay and even helped me with a car issue! The house is very charming.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed. The host was friendly, responsive, and made the check-in process seamless. The location was ideal, close to local attractions but still peaceful and relaxing. We’ll definitely book this oasis again for our next stay in Homestead, Fl!
We loved our stay! You can tell that a lot of love and care has been put into this home. We especially enjoyed the outdoor dining area as well as the pool
Awesome oasis property in a great location, allowed us to feel secluded while still being close to amenities. Easy to get to most of what South Florida has to offer, Miami, Everglades, Biscayne, Kay Largo, etc. The natural pool was amazing, the kids loved swimming amongst the fish. It was a great place to call home for a week.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Slice of Paradise. Jose was quick to respond and attentive. Slice of Paradise had such a cute cottage vibe. My grandson loved swimming in the pool with the koi fish and I enjoy sitting out on the front porch area in the early morning just listening to the water fall. The property was fully stock with everything we could need for our stay. The property was beautiful with plenty of seating and nicely landscaped. The neighborhood was very nice and he neighbors where quiet. The surrounding area had so much to offer from restaurants to shopping to everglade adventures. I highly recommend this little Slice of Paradise for your next stay in Homestead.
The house was very clean and very well decorated. The pool was great and the kids loved the fish. Comfortable and well organized. Communication was great and everything we needed during our stay was there for us.
Great spot between the parks! The coral pool is awesome, and worth the trip! The owner was great and extremely responsive… including during a power outage!
We had a lovely stay at this hidden gem! The house & yard are very private even though it’s right off the road. The home was well equipped with what we needed for a comfortable stay and the decor was beautiful. The natural pool was fascinating! We will definitely be back if we come back to Homestead!
This property was amazing! My wife and I stayed here during our wedding and absolutely loved it. The house was beautiful, but the yard was what we really loved. The coral rock pool/ koi pond was our favorite. I highly recommended this property to anyone looking for a quite little get away from reality.
What a unique, beautiful, secluded place. In excellent shape, very clean, had everything we needed and host was very responsive. Easy check in and out. We were sad to leave! Will return again. Thank you to the hosts for a fantastic stay!

Loved the house. It was a perfect home base for our trip to Everglades and Biscayne National Parks. The grounds were beautiful and serene. The interior is beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we needed.
There was plenty of options available witthin a ten minute drive for eating out, grocery stores, and other things.
I'd definitely recommend tthis property.
Jose and Becky are some of the best hosts I've ever rented from. Wonderful people and they were very quick to respond to my questions. The aquifer pool is incredible. Pictures can't do it justice. We stayed for 7 days and had a marvelous time! I wouldn't think twice about staying again. I wish we could've stayed even longer.
Beautiful live plants, koi fish swimming, great decor, multiple outdoor relaxing sitting areas among all the bougainvillea plants - we just loved this property, pricing, and owners. The street noise was a little high but the waterfalls drowned out the sound most of the time. So close to Biscayne and Everglades National Parks along with restaurants and fruit and fresh fish markets.
Fun funky house with lots of outdoor space. Well equipped met all our needs. Little niggle: mattress could be firmer. When in homestead we’ll stay there again.
This property is one of the best VRBOs I’ve stayed in. Super clean, well decorated, with plenty of amenities. The pool was cold, as expected from a natural aquifer, and it was rough on your feet since it’s coral rock. Bring some flip flops or water shoes.
The charcoal grill and the fire pit and sitting area were delightful.
The owner was incredibly gracious and had great communication. I plan to stay here anytime I’m in in the area.
Hands down one of my favorite places I have ever stayed. The house is incredibly welcoming and supplies everything you need which made us feel immediately at home. The property is so tranquil and relaxing that sometimes the most exciting part of our day was when we would get to go back and rest after being out all day. The natural pool with the koi fish is one of the most unique features I've ever seen and was another enjoyable treat.Location is very convenient for getting anywhere we needed. Biscayne, Everglades, Key Largo, Miami were all within under an hour depending on time of day/traffic and which visitor center location we were going to.We will definitely be aiming to stay here again if/when we return to the area!
The house is nicely decorated and very well furnished. We enjoyed using the pool (shared with the koi’s 😍😄). 30 min from the Everglades,1 hr from MIA, 2.5hr from Key West was an advantage.
Street was somewhat noisy and crowded but ok.
Too much cameras around the house that we didn’t feel comfortable with.
Mattress of the large BR could be replaced.
The property was incredible. It is a paradise and just what we needed after spending a few days in Orlando. It was enjoyed by everyone in our party. Communication was prompt and complete. The kitchen was the most well stocked of any vacation rental we have ever stayed in. Honestly the enter home was so well thought out.
We spent time at both Everglades and Biscayne National Parks as well as driving into the keys with ease. Then no one was disappointed to head back to relax.
The natural pool was our son's favorite to spend time in. He is eight and talks more about the pool than Disney World. We all spent time enjoying it whether the water, watching the fish or listening to the waterfall.
If you have read this far I hope you know this is well worth booking. The one detractor was the neighborhood at night, which was loud. The hosts have no control over this and often you completely forget during the day.
This was a great stay. We especially enjoyed the pond/pool and swimming with the beautiful fish. The place has everything needed to just stay put and relax in the shade, but it’s also close to all the south Florida attractions. Would definitely stay again if in the area!
