There is more here than you can see from the gate.
That is rather the point.
01 / 08
Wake up here
Twelve rooms, no two alike. Dade County pine underfoot and a sash window that still works the way it was built to.
02 / 08
Follow the garden
The garden is the lobby. Everything else is arranged around it - four houses, a pool, and a path that keeps going.
03 / 08
Come to the table
Food in the middle. Long tables under the pergola, and a kitchen you are allowed to walk into.
04 / 08
Meet at the bar
River House, most evenings. A glass of something interesting and whoever else turned up.
05 / 08
Find the bus
A vintage bus is parked at the end of the patio. You will have to come inside to see the rest.
06 / 08
After dark
The garden lights come on, the music starts, and nobody is in a hurry to leave.
07 / 08
The old Miami
What the houses kept. Archival frames, restored pieces, and the details nobody thought to throw away.
08 / 08
The people
Rooms are not the inventory. Locals, guests, staff, musicians, neighbours - the reason any of it works.
In real life
Some places are better in real life.
67 photographs will only get you so far. The gate is open.
