Welcome to Piece of Paradise, an iconic 1950s Florida home thoughtfully restored and curated to immerse you in a true Sunshine State experience. This is not just a place to stay—it’s a destination designed to celebrate Florida’s nature, color, history, and laid-back indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
From the moment you arrive, the home sets the tone. Painted in a bright coastal hue inspired by the retro pool tiles, the 1952 ranch-style exterior is framed by mini palm trees, crisp white trim, stylish planters, and a tall privacy hedge. A carport, shoe benches, dusk-to-dawn lighting, and a welcoming entry make arrival easy and inviting.
A Home Curated Around Florida
Every room tells a Florida story. Inside, you’ll find state-park-themed bedrooms, vintage shipwreck maps, and carefully selected local wildlife photography throughout the home. Art and décor were intentionally chosen to reflect the landscapes, animals, and coastal culture you’ll encounter during your stay—from piers and bridges to turtles, birds, and marine life.
The living room is bright and comfortable, featuring a quality leather sectional, large windows, and a 72” Smart TV. Guests can enjoy complimentary yoga and meditation through the Commune app—perfect for slow mornings or unwinding after a beach day. A gallery wall of Florida wildlife and scenery adds both beauty and inspiration.
A fully stocked game shelf keeps everyone entertained, with Fort Lauderdale Monopoly, Uno, playing cards, puzzles, jumbo outdoor games, and adult favorites for fun nights in.
Dining & Kitchen – Designed for Real Living
The dining area features a solid wood table with a midcentury silhouette, navy spindle-back chairs, and a matching bench, all bathed in natural light from large sliding glass doors. Serve meals on Mikasa plateware with Riedel wine glasses, stainless steel cutlery, and luxury cloth napkins—everything you need for effortless hosting.
The open kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining space, making it ideal for socializing while you cook. The bright white kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances, including a Samsung refrigerator with filtered water and dual ice makers.
