"The Barnacle is a true piece of Miami history. I can’t think of many things in this city that are over 100 years old. It’s a great place to walk out to the water and take a few moments to reflect." Full review
Frommer's
"It’s the oldest house in Miami (1891), on 5 acres of natural hammock and landscaped lawns. The quiet surroundings, wide porches, and period furnishings illustrate how Miami’s first snowbird lived" Full review
