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.
This partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
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 Homestead
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!

A country bungalow without the front porch:
Pros:
- good natured, organized, helpful, and informative landlord
-sizable refrigerator with sizable freezer compartment
-stove, microwave and toaster oven
-kitchen stocked with all utensils
-Keurig coffeemaker (will need coffee creamer & sweetener)
-internet wifi
-huge TV
-good mattress on queen bed
-sizable closet space with shelves and adequate hanger supply

Cons:
-refrigerator exterior looks unclean with rust and dark splotches
-no TV cable channels: e.g., no CNN, MSNBC, weather channel, etc.
The pros outweigh the cons and I would rent here again, especially if TV is upgraded with cable or satellite channels and a little rust remover is applied to refrigerator exterior.
Very clean, neat, and quiet. Very relaxing.
The house was clean and neat. There was fresh towels and toiletries. There was lots of extras to help with our stay (beach towels, beach chairs, washer/dryer, beach umbrella, umbrellas, etc.). The owners were very helpful on places to eat and visit. Left us brochures and maps. The owners were helpful with any needs and always available.
Clean, charming hosts, great area of Dade County
We so enjoyed our stay in Homestead. We were there to visit my wife's relatives, who all lived nearby. This cottage was the perfect home base for that visit. Larry and Helen were great hosts, with thoughtful little touches like the orange juices in the fridge. The place was immaculate and comfortable. And the Redland Agricultural Area where it's located is a wonderful place to explore -- fruit groves and acres of potted palms being grown for shipment. We didn't feel like heading to South Beach or downtown Miami, just a relaxing week in the Old Florida countryside.
A safe oasis in the middle of the Homestead agricultural area...
We could not have picked a more perfect place to stay during our visit in Homestead. We were located in the middle of all of the activities that we wanted to pursue. The cottage was clean and well furnished, and the owners made sure we were comfortable. This is our first experience going thru HomeAway. Larry and Helen set the bar high!!! We wouldn't hesitate staying in this cottage if we return to the area.
All the comforts of home
Larry and Helen are excellent hosts. They were available for any questions and offered suggestions on things to do in the south Florida area. The house was very nice, clean, and had everything we needed. Being able to use the snorkeling gear, ice chests and beach chairs was an added bonus.
If we were traveling to the area again we'd definitely stay there again.
It was exactly what we were looking for couldn't have been better.
The property is perfect for a rental in Redlands. It is quiet and safe. Larry and Helen are gracious hosts as are bo and Baxter the canines. The location is ideal for exploring the Miami and keys areas. We also recommend the January weather
