AJ was a very good and kind communicator! The check in was easy. The bungalow was as pictured, tiny, and had all we needed for our short stay to explore both Miami and The Everglades. We were comfortable, and I especially enjoyed having my morning coffee outside with the little patio table amidst the "jungle" and a few small lizards darting around. Just a helpful suggestion that it's a bit worn, and could use freshening up with a little paint and replacement fixtures in the bathroom. However, the price was budget-friendly!

Property was quiet and peaceful. Our dogs were comfortable and welcomed with open arms. The property is gated and made it easu to let our pups stay safe as well. Definitely will plan on staying here again. Thank you for giving us a great place to stay.

The place looks NOTHING like the pictures posted, it’s filthy and decrepit,large roaches roam the kitchen and walls thru out. The fridge has left over food and condiments which are stuck the plastic shelves, the kitchen area also has left over open items.the shower is full of mold with used shampoo and liquid soap.the mattress felt warped with what felt like springs.the exterior resembled an overgrown unattended jungle with no grass and mucky. I took many photos and vids to show what I was exposed to since it was a Thanksgiving weekend and no other available hotel rooms plus the wasted money on this shack. I couldn’t believe VRBO allowed this to be offered for rent.I will be filling a formal complaint thru the channels.
Five-Star Host - Defined by its unbeatable price-to-value ratio, this secluded bungalow occupies a small footprint - the space feels far more substantial than a typical hotel room. It's fully loaded with all the expected hotel amenities and then some, including a full kitchenette with a full-size fridge, a two-burner stovetop, a microwave, a toaster-oven, pots & pans, etc. Guests also benefit from a lovely shady retreat on the private patio and a great selection of books. Host AJ is superb — accommodating, readily available, and a pleasure to deal with. A truly exceptional experience that I recommend without reservation!

Cutler Bay get-a-away
Pictures do not really do justice for the property. Very small and the art was not to my taste, art gave us a dark feel! Not a happy feeling to be there!

Great neighborhood
We wanted to get a feel for all the areas of Miami. This was a great starting point for our outings to coral Gables and Uof M, coconut Grove and South Beach.

Cute place
This was just what my young son and I needed for our visit to Miami. We were close enough to see and do all the things, but also far away enough to get out of the city vibe.

We enjoyed our stay. It is a very quaint place in a very nice safe neighborhood. It’s not fancy but it’s perfect for what we needed and AJ was available if needed. We will stay again.

Not good
When we arrived we found a very not maintained property. The place was smaller then looked in the pictures, it was dusty abd dirty. We had ants in the toilet, spiders and mold in the shower, rain coming through the door, a broken and moldy bed and just a very not maintained place.
Was very not happy and moved to a different place in the morning, with a very sore back.

Beautiful bungalow!
Loved our stay at AJ’s!
Truly a piece of paradise at a great location.
Close to everything, but far enough where you’re away from all the commotion.
Would visit again!
The host was very communicative and the stay was wonderful! It’s a cute bungalow tucked away in a safe and quiet neighborhood. I enjoyed having a fenced in front yard space for my dog. Inside has just the basics, but for me, it had everything I needed for a long weekend stay to check out the Everglades and Miami!
