Residences by Miami Vacation Rentals

Residences by Miami Vacation Rentals Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Residences by Miami Vacation Rentals on McFarlane Road, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from a vacation rental property. But you know what? This four-star setup in Coconut Grove completely changed my perspective on extended stays in Miami. The building has this understated elegance that doesn’t scream for attention — it just quietly delivers what you need without the flashy hotel lobby drama. The location itself offers a perfect balance between being close to major attractions and maintaining a peaceful residential atmosphere.

The Coconut Grove Advantage

Here’s the thing about staying in Coconut Grove — you’re getting the real Miami experience without the South Beach chaos. I mean, you can actually walk around this neighborhood and feel like you’re discovering something authentic. The tree-lined streets have character, and you’re close enough to downtown Miami and Brickell that nothing feels out of reach. Plus, having free private parking on-site is honestly a game-changer in this city where parking can cost more than your dinner. The neighborhood truly captures the essence of what makes Miami special.

Living Space That Actually Works

The apartment I stayed in felt like someone’s well-designed home rather than a sterile hotel room. The kitchen was fully equipped — not just the basics, but actually useful appliances that let you cook real meals if you want to save money or just crave something homemade. I found myself using it more than I expected, especially for morning coffee and quick breakfasts before heading out to explore. The thoughtful design of each space makes extended stays genuinely comfortable and practical.

Service That Responds

What really impressed me was how quickly the property management team responded to questions. I had a minor issue with the Wi-Fi on my second day, and they sorted it out within an hour of my message. It’s that kind of responsiveness that makes you feel like someone actually cares about your stay — not just your credit card number. The whole operation feels professionally run but still personal, which is honestly rare in vacation rentals. This level of attention to guest needs sets the property apart from typical accommodations.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

After spending a week here, I totally get why couples rate this location so highly for romantic getaways. Coconut Grove has this laid-back sophistication that’s perfect for long walks and intimate dinners, but you’re still connected to everything Miami has to offer. The combination of space, location, and that responsive service creates something that’s actually better than most traditional hotels — you get the independence of your own place with the reliability of professional management. It’s the kind of spot where you can settle in and really experience Miami rather than just visiting it. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape or an extended stay, this property delivers on every front.

Coral Gables’ hotels wrap visitors in Mediterranean arches, citrus groves, and concierge-led Everglades outings.
