Royal Palm Gateway - Modern 4BR Homestead Retreat
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
Royal Palm Gateway is a modern 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath vacation home in Homestead/Florida City, designed as a two-story family retreat. The property emphasizes spacious, light-filled living areas and a contemporary aesthetic, making it well suited to multi-generational groups and larger parties traveling together.
Rooms & Living Space
The two-story layout features a bright, open living area with abundant natural light, four bedrooms, and two and a half bathrooms, giving groups enough separate space to spread out. The home is smoke-free and equipped with air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort.
Amenities
Guests have access to a full kitchen with an oven, stove, and microwave, plus a washer and ironing board for longer stays. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a private balcony, patio, and outdoor grill, and the property is pet-friendly with free parking and free Wi-Fi throughout.
Dining & Surroundings
While the home itself offers a full kitchen for self-catering, it sits within easy reach of a wide variety of local restaurants, including Mestizo Restaurant, Hidalgo's Cafe-Restaurant, La Islita de la Piloto, Redland Corner seafood, Salvadoran Cuisine, and Mario's Cuban restaurant, all within a few kilometers. This gives guests plenty of options for Latin American, Cuban, seafood, and Mexican cuisine nearby.
Location
The retreat is located near SW 268 St & SW 123 Pl bus station, just 162 meters away, offering convenient local transit access. Miami International Airport is about 32 kilometers away, while Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is roughly 66 kilometers away, making the home a workable base for exploring the greater Miami and Homestead area.
Best for
This home is best suited for large families, multi-generational groups, and gatherings of friends (such as girls' trips) who need spacious, private accommodations rather than a standard hotel room. The four bedrooms, two-story layout, full kitchen, and outdoor patio/grill area support groups who want to cook together and relax outdoors, and the pet-friendly policy makes it a strong option for travelers bringing along a pet.
Travel tips
The SW 268 St & SW 123 Pl bus station is just 162 meters away, making it easy to get around locally without a car for short trips. Given the distance to both Miami International Airport (about 32 km) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (about 66 km), guests should plan for a 30-60+ minute drive depending on traffic and their arrival airport. Since the home is self-catered, it's worth picking up groceries early and using the full kitchen, while also budgeting time to try nearby restaurants like Mestizo Restaurant or Hidalgo's Cafe-Restaurant within a couple kilometers.
