Private Yard & BBQ, Island Kitchen, Fully Renovated Home -- Near Miami & MIA

GUESTS CALL IT "BOUGIE." WE CALL IT STANDARD.

Some homes photograph well and disappoint in person. This one does the opposite — guests walk through the door, look around, and the first word out of their mouth is almost always the same: "bougie." We didn't put it in the listing to sound clever. We put it there because it's the exact word real guests use, unprompted, over and over, as the highest compliment they can give. This is a modern, design-forward home that runs like a boutique hotel, and it is rated accordingly: a near-perfect track record from the kind of travelers who have stayed in enough mediocre rentals to know immediately when something is different.

This is a spacious 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom Miami home — spotlessly cleaned before every stay, thoughtfully stocked down to the last detail, and managed by a host who responds within the hour. It sleeps 10 across four true bedrooms plus a living-room sleeper sofa, gives couples and pairs their own rooms, and surrounds you with premium finishes, designer furnishings, and the kind of calm, residential quiet that makes a trip actually feel restful. This is not a generic vacation rental. It's the kind of space you walk into and immediately think: this is exactly what I booked.

THE SPACE — ~3,815 SQ FT OF MODERN DESIGN
This is one beautifully designed side of a private duplex, fully self-contained, with its own entrance, its own fenced backyard, and its own driveway. Built in 1986 and fully renovated to boutique-hotel standards, the home is defined by its details: floor-to-ceiling windows that pour Miami light into every room, designer furnishings, statement wall art, and bathrooms that guests single out by name in their reviews. From the rich dark wood double doors at the entry to the styled, open-concept living and dining space inside, the home delivers on every promise the photos make — and then quietly exceeds it.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS (SLEEPS 10)
• Bedroom 1 — King bed with private ensuite bathroom. The primary suite: premium linens, modern lighting, a dark statement headboard, and an ensuite guests consistently call out for its finish and fixtures. Close the door and it's a genuine retreat.
• Bedroom 2 — Queen bed with private ensuite bathroom. A second fully private suite — ideal for a couple, a set of parents, or anyone who wants their own bathroom and their own quiet.
• Bedroom 3 — Queen bed. Clean, calm design and the kind of quiet that makes a difference after a long Miami day.
• Bedroom 4 — Twin beds beneath a wall of windows. Bright, airy, and perfect for kids, younger guests, or anyone who prefers their own space.
• Living room — Comfortable sleeper sofa for two more guests.

Two of the four bedrooms have private ensuite bathrooms, and there are four full bathrooms in total — so a full house of 10 never waits for the morning routine.

THE BATHROOMS GUESTS WRITE HOME ABOUT
The master ensuite is the one reviewers mention by name: a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, a soaking tub, and high-end modern tile that reads more luxury-hotel than vacation rental. "Best I've stayed in" is a phrase that shows up in the reviews — verbatim, more than once. Every one of the four full bathrooms carries the same standard: modern vanities, large mirrors, clean fixtures, and finishes you actually stop to notice.

INDOOR HIGHLIGHTS
• Open-concept living, dining, and kitchen — premium furnishings, modern design, and room for all 10 guests to genuinely relax together.
• Floor-to-ceiling windows and natural light in the main living spaces, with a calm, residential feel that never reads like a rental.
• Fully equipped kitchen: coffee bar, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, range, and complete cookware. Enough counter space and equipment for a real group dinner — skip the restaurant and cook in.
• Smart TVs in every bedroom and the living room — everyone gets their own screen.
• High-speed Wi-Fi at 660 Mbps — fast enough to run remote work, stream in 4K, and keep a full house connected at once without a hiccup.
• In-unit washer and dryer with laundry supplies provided — staying a week? Pack lighter.
• Central air conditioning throughout, keeping every room cool through the Miami heat.
• Hotel-quality linens and towels on every bed and in every bathroom.

A HOME BUILT FOR THE WORK-AND-TRAVEL CROWD
Remote workers and business travelers single this home out, and it's easy to see why: 660 Mbps Wi-Fi, smart TVs you can cast to, a full kitchen for real meals between meetings, and a quiet residential street where you can actually concentrate. Run your calls in the morning, close the laptop, and Miami is waiting right outside the door. It's a working home base that doesn't feel like work.

YOUR PRIVATE OUTDOOR SPACE
This home's outdoor experience is about privacy and calm rather than a crowd:
• Fully fenced private backyard — lush, shaded, quiet, and completely yours. Private enough to forget you're in Miami.
• Propane grill for the BBQ nights that make the trip.
• Outdoor terrace and dining space — a shaded table for long dinners in the warm evening air.
• A private balcony/terrace for morning coffee under blue Miami sky.
• 4-car private driveway, with lush landscaping framing the whole property.
The backyard gives you the outdoor Miami experience — sun, palms, warm evenings, dinner outside — without the pool crowds. (Looking for a private pool? Our adjacent unit, Bird A, has one — ask us.)

GETTING AROUND MIAMI
You're central without being in the chaos. Quick drive times from the front door:
• 5 minutes: Tropical Park, Florida International University (FIU), Publix, Target, and everyday essentials.
• 15 minutes: Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, and the University of Miami.
• 21 minutes: Miami International Airport (MIA) — easy arrivals and departures.
• 30 minutes: Miami Beach and South Beach — the ocean, the nightlife, the postcard Miami.
Use Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps — all three route accurately to the property.

PARKING & ARRIVAL
A 4-car private driveway means the whole group rolls up and parks on-site — no permits, no garages, no circling the block. Free street parking is also available directly on SW 36th St for any extra vehicles.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD — WESTCHESTER
Westchester is one of Miami-Dade's most residential and culturally rich neighborhoods. Cuban bakeries, Latin-American restaurants, and corner cafés line Coral Way and Bird Road just minutes from your door. It's central without being chaotic: quiet streets, well-kept homes, and an easy drive to everywhere Miami is famous for. Locals grab cafecito in the morning and eat at La Carreta and Flanigan's at night — you should too. This is the version of Miami that feels like living here, not just visiting, and the quiet is exactly why guests sleep so well.

WHO THIS HOME IS FOR
• Design-conscious friend groups who are simply done with generic, cookie-cutter rentals.
• Business travelers and professionals who want fast Wi-Fi, a real workspace feel, and a home that runs without friction.
• Families who want a quiet, private, stylish home base with a full kitchen, a fenced backyard, and a grill — and no chaos at check-in.
• Couples and small groups who want privacy, premium finishes, and a calm place to come back to each night.
And when your group is even bigger, you can book the adjacent unit too and take the entire property.

INCLUDED IN EVERY STAY
Hotel-quality linens and towels, bathroom toiletries, starter coffee, and laundry supplies are stocked before you arrive. The home is spotlessly cleaned and inspected before every single stay — cleanliness is the single thing guests praise most, and we protect that reputation room by room so the home looks exactly like the photos the moment you walk in.

EFFORTLESS SELF CHECK-IN
Self check-in via lockbox keypad — no front desk, no key handoff, no waiting around. Your personalized code is sent 24 hours before arrival; enter it and your stay begins. Self check-out is just as simple: leave the key inside and go. "Easy to get in and out" is a phrase that appears again and again in our reviews. Hogar Management responds to every message within the hour, day or night — communication is a perfect 5.0 score, and you will never have to chase us down.

DUPLEX PROPERTY NOTE
This is one unit of a private duplex. Your space is completely self-contained — your own entrance, your own fenced backyard, and your own driveway. The adjacent unit has a separate entrance and is independently managed and quiet. Groups who want the entire property to themselves can book both sides simultaneously — just ask.

GOOD TO KNOW — LOCAL COMPLIANCE
This property is fully licensed and complies with Miami-Dade short-term rental regulations (Registration 22090523UU). Before check-in, guests complete a few quick, standard steps: sign a simple rental agreement, complete ID verification, and authorize a $1,500 security hold. The hold is a pending authorization — not a charge — and it is released after checkout. Prefer to skip the hold? Guests may instead purchase a non-refundable damage waiver ($59 for stays up to 10 nights, plus $3/day beyond 10 nights). We handle all of it through Happy Guest, a simple, app-free web platform that takes just a couple of minutes.

PEST CONTROL & PEACE OF MIND
The property is on a regular professional extermination schedule — standard and important for any Miami home. If you ever notice anything unexpected during your stay, message us and we'll respond within the hour. Exterior security cameras at the front door and backyard protect guests and the neighborhood; there are no interior cameras, ever. Noise-decibel monitors (which never record audio) keep the home and street peaceful. Baptist Hospital of Miami is about 5 minutes away.

Modern design, hotel-grade cleanliness, near-perfect reviews, and a host who actually answers — book your dates before they're gone, and find out why guests keep calling it bougie.
