The tour of the house and grounds is really special. It's a beautiful place. Many people were having photo shoots for quince's and weddings. Miami is a young city, but there is some wonderful history here. Shows times gone by in a gilded age.

Very pretty garden and ocean view. Romantic for couple, also interesting for family with kids. The guided tour in the museum is fun too. What I didn't know was if you only want to visit the garden it is free of charge. Visit also the cafeteria for snacks and drinks. There are also many beautiful souvenirs in display. Worth to... More

The home and gardens are both stunning. You can do either a self guided tour, audio tour, or have a guide. We chose the self guided tour with the guidebook. Maps are free at the entrance to the house though, and descriptions of the rooms are available in each room, so it's not necessary to purchase the guidebook ($3) if... More

We stayed overnight on the south side of Miami Intl., prior to a flight overseas and I browsed on the internet for somewhere close by to visit and found this little jewel. We joined a group just about to leave on a guided tour around the main house and it was so very interesting. We would never had believed it... More

This house is a delight to tour, either by yourself or with a guide. Amazing how much money some people had (and have). Over-the-top decor. A beautiful location on the water. I can't comment on the gardens, as it started to pour as we were finishing up in the house. We weren't prepared for rain. BTW, the rain ponchos they... More

This is one of my favorite places in all of south-east florida. Beautiful beautiful gardens, so tranquil. Feels as if you aren't in florida at all. Also a beautiful place for a wedding!

I took so many photos of this extraordinary place during my recent trip to Miami--it was one of the highlights of my visit. I highly recommend getting the guided tour of the mansion. The tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and informative. A lovely setting that has been well maintained.

Visited this place after reading reviews on Trip advisor, and it was well worth it. The audio tour is very informative and the whole experience was very good. I would recommend it to anyone.
