Zen preserved land near the beach, secluded from all outer distractions. 2 Miles from Biscayne National Park where there are beaches, you can easily bike to these amazing destinations. A great rest stop for your journey to the Keys or north to Miami. We soon will offer snorkeling, biking, hiking, yoga and mud baths. Our restaurant will be open soon as well.
I had a wonderful few nights on Erica's land. I felt safe and the location was perfect to explore so many areas between the Keys, Everglades, Biscayne, and Big Cypress NP. I even saw some manatees in the nearby canel leading to Biscayne! I would definitely recommend and stay here again. As other stated it does get buggy at night but it's FL so I wouldn't expect anything less. There is also a Planet Fitness, along with many shops and restaurants nearby but once your on the property you wouldn't know it with how peaceful it was.
This spot was perfection. A true "get away" but the safety of being very close to the "regular world" very low key, beautiful spot with great views and truly felt alone being the only people for I assume miles. We will be staying here again when we visit Florida later this year even going to stay longer as this is a wonderful home base for the surrounding areas attractions
It took the host around 1 1/2 - 2 hours to give us the gate code after we arrived. Gate is very wonky and would not be easy to open if you have any physical disabilities. There were no trash bins available to use even though his page said there were bins.
There was also a whole mishap where we requested to stay a few more days and host never responded to the request ( I didn’t realize that he hadn’t ). I had let him know before hand we were thinking of doing this. We’re new to hip camp and assumed it went through properly because the payment page came up and I accepted it. I guess he never saw it.
He blew up our phones two days later very aggressively saying we didn’t pay for the extra days. We had no problem paying for the extended stay, we thought we had. We still even made a new booking to stay the extra few days after that had happened. We pay our fair share. I can see where he was coming from but all it was, was a case of miscommunication. He had no reason to be as rude as he was on the phone when we were just trying to explain what happened.
Good luck on the gamble of staying here if you do, read the reviews. He may not even give you the gate code at all.
Worst start to a hipcamp spot I've ever had. Waited at gate for hours without the code to get in. Hungry, tired, kids stuck in car ect. Finally after hours of waiting he bothered to give us the code and we proceeded to set up camp after dark and hours after we had planned to.
Disregarding that, it was a pretty nice field and the location can't be beat! We were the only campers at the time and enjoyed the birds and wildlife viewing and quick drive to the beach and the Keys. There was lots of trash around, but not just on his property, seems to be the norm for that area?
Minimal shade and lots of determined mosquitoes, but that's to be expected. The soft grassy field with a break from the wind was great after camping on sandy beaches for days beforehand. If he can start remembering to send you the gate code, it could be a pretty nice spot.
L’endroit est très tranquille. Terrain perdu au milieux d'un plantation de palmier. Pas facile à trouver et il n’y avait personne pour accueillir, j’ai parlé avec Éric au téléphone et il m’a dit de me trouver un coin et de m’installer.
