Camp Biscayne – Coconut Grove’s Secret Sanctuary

Camp Biscayne, Coconut Grove

Right off Main Highway in the heart of Coconut Grove, nestled behind lush vegetation and towering oaks is the prestigious, private community of Camp Biscayne.  With the entrance located across the street from The Coconut Grove Playhouse, this gated community of just 11 homes is a secluded sanctuary right in the midst of it all and adjacent to the waters of Biscayne Bay. 

When I say, in the midst of it all, I mean literally.  Many neighborhoods are walking distance from the Village of Coconut Grove but upon exiting Camp Biscayne, you are in the village center.  The entrance is set so far back off the street that you really have to know what you are looking for or you will just stroll right on past as many do everyday without even realizing what is concealed behind the unassuming gates.

There are currently 3 homes for sale in Camp Biscayne.
