Overview
1 bedroom apartment in the middle of the historic Redlands
Halfway between Miami and the Florida Keys, 20 minutes from the racetrack, this quiet private apartment sits behind the main house on a fenced acre located in the historical Anderson's Corner Redlands. Just 15 minutes from the Fl TNPX, we are situated close to local tourist historical attractions but away from city life. Lush and tropical, it's a true escape to the country. Plenty of parking for any vehicle, the 600 SF apartment is a comfortable fit for 2 people. Arrangements can be made for up to 5 with the pull out sleeper sofa in the living room and a provided folding bed. There's a separate bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and all housewares to make this your home away from home while you explore Miami, the Everglades & the Florida Keys or even the local Redlands attractions. We leave plenty of goodies for your arrival so you can snack & have coffee & breakfast before hitting the grocery store in the morning. Appliances include full size refrigerator, microwave, washer, dryer, coffee maker, blender, toaster oven, hair dryer. The bathroom has a full tub and shower as well. There is wireless internet access and a 52" flat screen TV, complete with Netflicks and full network channel access. Outdoors is inviting with table and chairs set up for your shaded visiting pleasure. The sunset view is unparalleled and the neighborhood is wonderful to walk around in with many groves, nurseries, and variety of animals. If you wish, we have 2 bicycles with helmets you can borrow to cruise around the area. We also have available beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels you might need. True quiet country living, but only 10 minutes from the nearest grocery store, our house is across the yard from yours, so we are available for any needs, questions, advice, or just visiting if you wish.
About Helen Alspaugh
Larry & I are both native Miamians who have drifted southwards. This area is more like the place we grew up. We have a grown daughter (24) who lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, whom we love to visit. We are a couple of avid adventures who love traveling and seeing new lands. We've been all around the world but of course, there's no place like home!
Helen Alspaugh purchased this apartment in 2003
Why Helen Alspaugh chose Miami-Dade County
We feel like we live in Paradise, especially when the rest of the country is shivering. There is an acre of land beside ours with palm trees in the view, so sunsets are amazing. We love to sit in the yard watching the show in the sky in the evenings. Sometimes our neighborhood peacock joins us. With enough yard for our 2 little dogs to run in and enough trees for shading, we love the wide open feel of the south facing houses. Most of the trees were planted by us after moving in. Hurricane Andrew destroyed all the trees on this peaceful acre. Slowly but surely, it has turned into the garden atmosphere we envisioned when moving to the property. Our street is quiet and safe, away from the main traffic flow. This was a big change from the city life and traffic we were used to. But it's a great change!

Affordable, Comfortable and Private
It is a very nice size rental for a married couple. The rental home was clean and well equipped. We felt safe and secure in a nice area with a security gate leading in and out of the property.
Larry and Helen, the rental owners, are friendly, accommodating and very good hosts. They provided bagels, fruit, juice and coffee upon our arrival so we would have breakfast provided for the next day. The rental owners live in the main house on the property site, but they give you all the privacy that you want. Larry and Helen also are more than willing to offer suggestions of activities in the area, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. They also made themselves accessible if you needed anything.
The home was close to the things we wanted to see in the area: Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Park, and Zoo Miami. There are many other things to see and do in the area. We had a pleasant stay and I would highly recommend this place to a couple wanting to rent a home in this area of Florida.
Very comforting, private, and beautiful! The owners were considerate and thoughtful. I felt like I w
The property was well kept! Very grreen! And the daily visit of the peacock was amazing! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!! The quaiint home with kitchen was also a plus! Also very safe!!!
Clean, Bright, Cheerful!
This rental is exactly as pictured. It was VERY clean and comfortable. The owners were friendly and helpful (even providing bagels and fruit for the first morning), while giving us plenty of privacy. The location was perfect for our visits to The Everglades.
Little Gem in Hiding
My husband and I rented Larry and Helens guest house. It was comfortable, clean and safe. It's a lilt outside of the towns business so it's very quiet and the night sky is beautiful.
Larry and Helen were very welcoming and hospitable. There was a bottle of wine and food for our first breakfast when we arrived. I world highly recommend thier place and we'd definitely stay with them in the future. The Redlands are beautiful.
Very well-kept, clean, well-furnished, secure 1-bedroom in excellent location. Many extras.
We selected this property because of the location - close to several wildlife photography areas, like Everglades National Park, Shark Valley, the Tamiami Trail, the Northern Keys, the Miami Zoo, etc.
We recommend this property because of how welcome we felt staying here. It is in a quiet neighborhood, with a combination-controlled gate. The property is very comfortable, with a very well-furnished, though small, kitchen. There are many extras, including toiletries in the bathroom, and pantry supplies in the kitchen (and refrigerator). Very good bottled water is supplied. Both hosts were very attentive in pointing out the many features of the little house, including the washer and dryer and beach toys in the garage. A complete Welcome and Guide book is on the dining table. The Wifi is excellent, and the TV includes Roku (w/Netflix), and about 30 channels from an outdoor antenna.
We enjoyed staying here. We will be back.
Good location for exploring southern Florida
Quaint, affordable cottage near The Everglades, Miami & The Keys. We were gone most days until evening, so we did not spent a lot of time there. The owners provided some welcome snacks, drinks & complete supplies.
