Self guided tour of the entire mansion was really fun to do. You could linger as long as you liked in each room. The gardens were also fantastic. The breakwater that was built like a grounded ship was very noteworthy and picturesque.

The house and gardens are a fabulous place to wander around. The gardens are extensive and the house is beautiful, not a all what we were expecting to find in Miami. I'd totally recommend that people pay a visit.

Take your time exploring the grounds and all the rooms in this grand villa; we were there almost 3 hours. Don't believe kids would appreciate the beauty but there was a group of school children there exploring the grounds and looking at plants and animals....More

The house and grounds are beautiful. The docents were excellent, knowledgeable, and friendly. The location is great. The entrance fee is $22 per person.

If you ever visited Hearst Castle in California, or the Biltmore in North Carolina, and you were impressed by the architecture and gardens, then I suggest visiting this attraction when in Miami.

I went recently for the first time after living in Miami and it was amazing, loved it. Highly recommended
