Is a cool piece of property right in coconut grove so if you have an hour to spare or are just strolling around is a nice leisurely walk down to the dock with bay views, don't forget your mosquito spray.

The entrance is free so it's worth it anyway if you are passing through Coconut grove. There is a sweeping view on the sea, it's great to have a picnic on the grass and the house is interesting. Lots of mosquitoes during the wet season.

I had decided to visit the Barnacle State Historic Site since it was near my hotel. The walk up to the house was nice. There were interpretive signs along the hammock, which ended up being the only thing I got to check out. There is a $2 entrance fee that you pay along the way by putting the money in... More

We were looking for South Beach and we came up on this hidden treasure. For $2 you get a walk through a lovely wooded trail with sign markers giving information along the way. At the end of the walk is the house that goes with the park. Check this out while in Miami.

It was well worth the visit, a refreshing break from the city. A lot of history. For only $2, you get a glance into Miami history.

In the heart of Coconut Grove and if you have dinner reservations, it's easy to come a little early and walk through it. For all the hectic, business of Miami area, it is a nice way just to relax a little and enjoy. Also there is the history surrounding it

Nice place to relax, nothing much to see, older house and pretty view of the ocean. Located in Coconut Grove, it was OK.
