Villa Castro is the rare Miami rental where the lot does the work. More than an acre of South Miami land, over 6,000 square feet of interior, and seven bedrooms split across two floors, so nobody has to negotiate for space. Two separate lounges and several dining areas mean the group is never all in one room unless it wants to be. A chef kitchen anchors the middle of the house and a dedicated game room takes the pressure off it.

South Miami

South Miami is residential, canopied and quiet, which is the point. The estate sits behind a gate inside that grid, close enough to Brickell for a dinner reservation and to Coconut Grove for a walk along the marina, far enough out that the street noise of Miami Beach never reaches it. Everything is a drive rather than a stumble, and the trade is an acre of privacy instead of a shared wall.

Inside the house

Five of the seven bedrooms sit on the second floor and two on the first, which is how a large group separates parents from teenagers without anyone climbing over anyone. The master and one of the second-floor doubles carry their own bathrooms; the other five rooms share the remaining baths, so four bathrooms serve seven rooms and that is worth planning around. Espresso machine, wireless speakers, a safe and an office nook cover the practical end. Seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, two of them en-suite. Five bedrooms on the second floor, two on the first. Bed mix: five kings, one queen, one room with two queens. Two lounges plus several dining areas across 6,000 plus sq ft. Chef kitchen and a dedicated game room. Arcade games, flat-screen televisions, wireless speakers. Dedicated office space, safe, purified drinking water

The acre

The backyard reads as a small resort. An oversized pool with a safety fence, cabanas for shade, an outdoor bar and a barbecue, and beyond them a combined basketball and pickleball court framed by tropical planting. A jacuzzi sits alongside the pool. Alfresco dining is set up outside rather than squeezed onto a balcony, which is the practical difference an acre buys you. Oversized pool with pool fence and cabanas. Jacuzzi. Combined basketball and pickleball court. Outdoor bar and barbecue. Alfresco dining under cover. Gated entry with on-site parking. Beach chairs provided for day trips

What people actually do here

The court is the reason groups rebook. Morning pickleball, afternoon in the pool, evening at the outdoor bar with something on the barbecue, and the arcade and game room absorb the teenagers when the heat peaks. When the group does want the city, Wynwood galleries and the Design District showrooms are a short drive north and Coconut Grove sits between the house and the bay. Pickleball and basketball on the private court. Pool and jacuzzi afternoons with cabana shade. Arcade and game room for indoor hours. Wynwood and the Design District by car. Coconut Grove marina and village restaurants

Best For

Multi-family reunions that need separate sleeping floors. Active groups who will use a private court daily. Corporate retreats wanting two lounges and an office. World Cup 2026 match groups basing outside the Beach
