Pack the doggy essentials and get Fido leashed and ready for a "pup-tacular" getaway to the finest dog-friendly parks around Entrada Estates, a tiny slice of prestige and waterfront luxury in Coconut Grove.  

Spoil your tail-wagging pal with an adventure brimming with lush greenery, sparkling waterfront views, and endless discovery in Entrada Estates, an exclusive oasis in Southern Coconut Grove.

With its intimate collection of 32 meticulously crafted residences, each positioned to capture the Bay's tranquility or abundant botanical splendor, it's easy to assume that Entrada Estates will be tucked from Miami's vibrant pulse.

Well, you're only half right!

You see, while privacy is paramount at Entrada Estates, its connection to Coconut Grove's legendary commercial scene is a feature that elevates your every day in this slice of nirvana.

And that's not all!

Entrada Estates also puts you within minutes of thriving locales like Coral Gables and South Miami, allowing you to open the door to boundless adventures, unforgettable experiences, and fun outings for the whole family — including your four-legged friends!
