Paradise Farms — Attraction in Homestead

You will either be very happy or very unhappy here depending on your standards and expectations. Ask yourself these questions to see if this is the place for you:||||Can you handle running out of hot water when you shower?||Do you mind having ants and/or mosquitoes in your bathroom and bed(room)?||Does sharing a bathroom with the people who work on the farm and other guests sound okay?||Are you okay with not having your room cleaned during your stay?||Is friendly staff more important to you than the above considerations?||Are you willing to pay $130 per night (or more) for a camping experience?||||If you answered “no” to any of these questions then you will probably not be very happy here.

It reminded me very much of bathing conditions at camp grounds I have stayed at.||The upside is that the manager (Ernest), is excellent and friendly and very accomodating. He makes a simple but excellent breakfast to start your day. If not for him I would have given the place a...

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Porch House. It has a screened front porch with a table. Inside is a bed, a portable AC unit, and small desk. It was right across from the bathroom which was nice. ||We sat with our legs in the pool, the little fish swam up and kissed our feet!||Earnest made a delicious breakfast with fresh fruit from the farm. We made a trip out to Robert is here, the keylime milkshake is DELICIOUS!||We only stayed one night, but wished we had stayed longer. ||This place is really close to the everglades. We went into the keys for dinner that night too. ||Will definitely be...
