Great historic house and mangove hammoch. Some peace and quiet just a half block walk from the hustle of Coconut Grove. Bay front view. More

After visiting Vizcaya, we loved the total contrast and simplicity of Barnacle, the history trail boards offered us a glimpse into the life to Ralph M Munroe and his amazing achievements.

Nice beaches, good for nature walks. Be sure to visit the historic lighthouse and go all the way to the top for great 360 views if you can handle the steps. There is a restaurant for lunch with decent food. More

Its a genuinely interesting attraction because Florida doesn't have much "history" and since this dates to the late 1800's, it's something different than your typical architecture and typical tourist attraction. Being on the grounds its easy... More

Excellent tour guide who brought out the ambience of what is was like to live in this historic house. Worth a visit as is the walk around the property. More
