Nice stay, close to everything & it’s a clean space. I would recommend people to book. My fav part was the shared backyard. Couldn’t get over how cute the dessert/relaxing aesthetic was.

It was very cozy and clean! I loved their concept it made me feel like I was inside a village. Loved their concept decor
GuestJuly 2026
This place was amazing from top to bottom. Everything was exactly as described, everything was clean and prepared for my stay, and the pictures honestly do not do the place justice, as it is way more beautiful in person. The host was extremely kind and helpful throughout my stay, and if I am ever in this area again I will definitely be returning to this location.
GuestJuly 2026

Sol Y Sombra Airbnb was great! It’s a perfect place to spend a few nights away. It’s stationed round the back of another property. Was easy to find and access! The area is okay, not a huge amount walkable so keep that in mind. Whole foods is about a 25 min walk away, so still doable.

About the cottage
The cottage is a wood-framed building, and it feels like one. Floors may creak, sound carries more than it would in a concrete-block home, and in humid months doors and windows can stick a little as the wood swells. Wood buildings can also pick up a faint earthy or "cabin" smell after rain. We clean thoroughly between every stay and keep the AC and dehumidifier running, but please know this is a small, characterful home, not new construction.

Florida living
This is South Florida. From roughly May through October it's hot, humid, and rainy, and that humidity finds its way indoors no matter what. Keeping windows and doors closed and the AC running helps a lot. Bugs are also part of life here: you may see the occasional lizard, ant, or palmetto bug (a large Florida cockroach), especially after heavy rain. The property is treated by a pest control service on a regular schedule, and if anything bothers you during your stay, message us and we'll take care of it.

Super clean and cozy place, perfect for two people!! The space is beautifully designed and very aesthetically pleasing, which made the stay feel extra special. The only downside is that there aren’t many walkable spots nearby, but the neighborhood itself is quiet, safe, and nice to be in.

Amazing stay in this Spanish tiny home. It was so peaceful and easy to find. Everything was laid out by Pierce and organized.
