# Miami Pool Cottage

El Portal, United States of America

> Hidden Tropical Haven | Curated Miami Guest House Breathe deep—you’ve arrived somewhere different. Out here, fruit trees outnumber streetlights. The garden hums with quiet life, and the air carries a warmth you don’t just feel—you exhale into it. Step into quiet luxury at the Miami Pool Cottage, where sunlight filters through palms and time moves at its own pace. Savor a kind of hospitality that anticipates your needs before you ask. Curated with bespoke care, the serene guest house invites you to swim beneath the trees and exhale into stillness. Soak in the clawfoot tub, and unwind in a garden alive with tropical calm. Before booking: Please review our house rules, complete guest verification, and sign the short-term rental agreement. What Makes It Special • Two private king bedrooms with luxury linens and generous closets • Bright living area with sleeper sofa and Smart TV • Fully equipped kitchen for easy breakfasts or full dinners • Oversized pool with loungers, umbrellas, and floaties (including the signature swan) • Canopy daybed, fire pit, treehouse, hammock chairs, and shaded garden corners • Outdoor rain shower and gas grill for open-air living • Gated entry, smart lock access, and free parking for two vehicles • Optional services: early check-in/out, mid-stay cleans, EV charging, baby gear, pet stays • Pet-friendly (advance notice required) • Fast Wi-Fi and workspace options for remote workers • Quiet residential setting close to I-95 and both airports Step inside Miami’s gentler side — a half-acre retreat where avocado trees shade your mornings and stars light your nights. The Miami Pool Cottage offers everything you love about a boutique stay: two serene king bedrooms, a spacious living area with a sleeper sofa, and a 17x35-foot pool surrounded by mangoes, palms, and quiet. Perfect for families, friends celebrating milestones, remote workers, and guests traveling with dogs, this home balances privacy with easy access to Miami’s best beaches, dining, and culture. Located in El Portal, one of Miami-Dade’s most charming and walkable neighborhoods, you’ll feel tucked away — yet minutes from Wynwood, the Design District, and the airport. THE SPACE The Miami Pool Cottage isn’t another glass-and-chrome condo. It’s a vintage guest house with a heartbeat — thoughtfully restored, airy, and surrounded by fruit trees. Inside, sunlight filters through the windows in the morning, and the evenings invite long, slow conversations by the fire pit. Each bedroom has a plush king bed, soft linens, and ample storage for unpacking. The living room’s convertible king sofa adds flexibility for families or small groups. The kitchen is stocked for cooking or coffee rituals, while the original clawfoot tub in the bathroom gives the space its signature character. OUTDOOR LIVING Outside, the half-acre garden becomes its own private world. Lounge by the pool, nap on the daybed under palms, or climb into the handcrafted treehouse. Dinners are often cooked on the grill and shared under string lights. A rain shower hides in the foliage for post-swim rinses, and you may spot butterflies, lizards, or the occasional peacock wandering by. FOR FAMILIES Families love the open layout, stocked kitchen, and easy access to the pool. Baby gear is available upon request (pack-and-play, high chair), and we can help you plan kid-friendly adventures nearby — from beaches to Little Havana ice cream stops. FOR FRIEND GROUPS Here to celebrate a birthday, concert weekend, or bachelorette trip? We can prep the space with thoughtful touches before you arrive — from chilled champagne to tropical florals — so your stay starts in celebration mode. FOR DOG PARENTS We welcome one well-behaved dog with advance notice. The property is fenced and full of grass for morning playtime. Pet stays are $35 per night for each dog, with discounts for longer stays. FOR REMOTE WORKERS Three independent AC units, high-speed Wi-Fi, and quiet garden nooks make this an easy home office under the palms. Morning coffee by the pool beats any coworking space. WHAT TO KNOW • The pool is not fenced — please supervise children. We do have a pool alarm, but nothing beats an alert adult. • Please ask us which fruits are ripe and safe to eat, and remember local wildlife occasionally wanders through. • The cottage is vintage, thoughtfully updated with modern comforts. • Maximum occupancy: 6 guests. • Quiet hours: 10 PM – 8 AM. • Smoking and parties are not permitted. • Professionally monitored outdoor cameras ensure safety at entry points. BEFORE BOOKING To protect both guests and hosts, Miami Vacation Stays uses Truvi for guest verification, damage waiver coverage, and short-term rental agreements. You’ll complete these steps after booking, in line with Airbnb’s guidelines for professional hosts. YOUR ARRIVAL You’ll receive your private smart-lock code 24 hours before check-in. It activates immediately upon arrival and expires automatically upon departure. The entire cottage, garden, and pool are reserved just for you. LOCATION Set within El Portal — Miami-Dade’s smallest, greenest neighborhood — the Miami Pool Cottage is 15 minutes from the beach, 10 minutes from Wynwood, and under 20 minutes from both MIA and FLL airports. You’ll enjoy the serenity of a tucked-away village with quick access to everything that makes Miami vibrant. OPTIONAL ADD-ONS We keep our nightly rate fair by letting you choose the extras you value most: • Early check-in / late check-out • Pet stays • Mid-stay cleanings • EV charger access • Baby gear • Special-occasion prep (balloons, champagne, flowers, etc.) You’ll find details and pricing in your personalized Guest Portal once your booking is confirmed. HOSTING & CARE Our team lives on the property, offering complete privacy but always close when needed. Guests often tell us the stay feels “different” — more personal, easier, and warmer — because of how we host. Whether you’re escaping, celebrating, or simply breathing, the Miami Pool Cottage is designed to hold space for you. Add to your wishlist — and discover a more soulful side of Miami. At Miami Vacation Stays, your safety and comfort are our top priorities, especially during Florida’s hurricane season! While hurricanes are part of life here, cancellations due to storms are not covered. To safeguard your plans, we highly recommend travel insurance to cover any potential delays or disruptions! Power outages can happen occasionally, but don’t worry—we provide battery-operated lights and keep our homes fully storm-ready, with clear safety information to keep you informed. Most importantly, our friendly team is here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you feel at ease and cared for. So, relax and enjoy your stay, knowing you’re in capable hands with us!
