We were disappointed because when we booked, we specifically chose the cottage with a garden view. Instead, we were given a cottage facing the (quiet) road, and on the other side, the view was of the walkway between the cottages.

The cottage was quite dark, and the bathroom felt very humid due to poor ventilation. There was also mold in the bathroom.

There is parking on site, but there are no designated spaces. In any case, street parking is free and very easy to find.

If your cottage does not have a garden view, you cannot really enjoy the garden, as there are no hammocks or lounge chairs available—only a couple of chairs in front of each cottage.

When we arrived, the Wi-Fi was not working, and neither was the kitchen light. Communication with customer service was polite, but the process did not make much sense. I sent a message in the morning and only received a reply in the afternoon saying that maintenance had already come by but couldn’t do anything because we were not there, and that we would need to contact the maintenance team ourselves.

Mike Luis was very helpful and fixed the kitchen light. However, after he left, the bathroom light stopped working instead.

Overall, the accommodation is acceptable and does the job, but it is nowhere near the standard that was advertised.

My stay at Cottages El Portal in Miami was absolutely fantastic! From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The property is beautifully maintained, with a peaceful and cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home while still being close to all the excitement Miami has to offer.

The cottage itself was spotless, stylish, and thoughtfully equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I especially loved the charming details and the relaxing outdoor space—it was the perfect place to unwind after a day out.

The host was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and attentive, making sure every detail of my stay was seamless. It’s rare to find a place that combines comfort, convenience, and genuine hospitality so well.

I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Cottages El Portal to anyone visiting Miami!

Unique, clean, and quiet. Large living space with a full kitchen. Within walking distance of cool, bohemian restaurants and shops. It’s an older Florida property - well maintained, but real deal old Miami, (blocks away from an ancient Tequesta burial mound), so like a little rust here and there but nothing dirty or sticky. Nothing like a high end hotel, but I would definitely stay there again.

My husband & I arrived at the cottage around 9pm in the evening, and everything was quiet and it was surprisingly easy to find! The area is nice so I felt comfortable. The cottages are cute and the kitchen was an added bonus. Downsides were fruit flies everywhere, and there was some sort of bug shell on the bed sheets, so I was uneasy all night and unable to fully get comfortable in bed. Made me worry about the cleanliness, although everything else appeared clean. The owner communicates well and sends correspondence about how to access the cottage, etc. which was appreciated. However, he didn’t apologize or seem to care too much about the concerns I had. So that was disappointing. Not sure if I’d stay here again.

The room was exactly what we needed for a 4 days stay in Miami. Everything worked as advertised and the communication with the host was good (all done through Expedia). One thing I did not enjoy very much was the air conditioning unit that was making quite a sound while being ON, so we could not leave it running over the night. I enjoyed the parking space and the fact that there was always a spot available for our room. The parking lot was very well lit at night.

It was in a good location, very clean. It had everything we needed. As noted by others, the air conditioner is a little on the loud side. It is on the corner of a quiet residential street and a more busy road. For us, the traffic noise from the main road was a little louder than I would prefer. The bed was comfortable, but it was very low to the ground, so if you have trouble getting up from low, you may struggle.

Up grade your air conditioning system !! Too loud!

My husband and I went for a 2night stay. For what we needed it was fine. The cottage was very basic and could do with some TLC.. the best was the shower , instant hot water .. brilliant .. the worst air conditioning.. I did not sleep both nights . It was so loud , I tried ear plugs , did not work, so be aware , if you like to sleep with no noice , this place is not for you. The kitchen was adequate and served its purpose . The bed was comfortable. The cottage was clean. TV with all channels but we did not use..
so bottom line.. if you can sleep thru anything , u will be just fine..!!! Me.. no… I will not be back .. I’m exhausted !

Quiet and Comfortable

Occasionally I book a 5 star resort but most of the time I want a place more like home. The Cottages are a winner if you are looking for clean and comfortable. Our kitchen was large and well equipped. The bath looked like it had been renovated recently.

I'm a runner so I like to be in a nice area where I can get some exercise. Right down the street from the cottages is a very nice upper middle class neighborhood. Perfect for running or walking.

I didn't see a lot of tourist type attractions nearby but that's probably a good thing. There are plenty of places nearby to get really good food including Cuban, Haitian and Venezuelan carryout. I found some really good pies and ice cream, too.

So try the Cottages if you want down home comfort.

I needed a place to stay close to an event during the weekend. This place had a reasonable price and looked very pretty in the picture.

I arrived at 9:30 pm, and 2 hours later I decided to find something else.

The bed linen was dirty. And the mattress felt very old. It was impossible to rest.
I decided to pack my things and went to another place.

Very disappointing.

Miami but through local eyes!

We loved the cottages! Such a cute and perfect little spot to stay for a quick weekend for our friends wedding! We loved the location as we could walk to the Citadel! We loved being in a local neighborhood with south beach only a 15 minute uber ride away! Definitely would recommend!

It nice location and the overall concept I loved but they really need to take a second look when it comes to cleanliness but otherwise the property is really cute.

We stayed in Miami for 5 nights and we're glad we chose this spot. On arrival, the studio was properly cleaned and tidied.
The property is conveniently and centrally located (a few minutes drive) to popular areas such as Midtown, Wynwood, MIA etc. It came with a full kitchen, and roku TV.

It was just the perfect size for us newlyweds. It was equipped with everything we could of possibly needed during our stay. We will definitely return!

I had a great 4 night stay at The Cottages! Very quiet area where I was able to get my work done prepping for a conference. Management communicates everything clearly and has the place loaded with everything you need. Fully loaded kitchen was great to have as I ended up eating inside a couple nights. Starbucks and local restaurants are only a short walk away. Will definitely stay again for that quiet, out-of-the-way experience where I can be productive. Thanks Mike!

Best place to stay in the area. Very quiet, clean & secluded despite a very busy Miami nearby. No complaints, will come again.
