The Miami Playbook

The heated pool and Jacuzzi, set within a private tropical garden, are the beating heart of this Miami villa – and with a barbecue alongside and warm evenings all year, you may struggle to go inside. When you do, the kitchen is built for cooking at scale, opening out to a living space where the oversized corner sofa pulls everyone together. A palm-fringed half-court basketball court adds a playful edge that sets this house apart. It sleeps a large group comfortably across seven bedrooms, all on a single level – effortless for families and friends alike.

Home truths:
* For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.
* The seventh bedroom sits on a split level with its own balcony, so it's slightly separate from the main flow of the villa – great for guests who want a little extra privacy.
* If you're travelling with little ones, a Pack and Play cot is available on request – just bring your own sheets. A pool safety fence can also be set up with advance notice.
* Regular pool, landscaping, and pest control services may take place during your stay without prior notice.
* Hen and stag parties are strictly not allowed at this home.
* You're on the edge of Aventura, a quiet residential area – a car will serve you well for reaching Sunny Isles Beach, Bal Harbour, and the wider Miami area with ease.
