Mr. C Tigertail vs Grove at Grand Bay in Coconut Grove: Kitchen & entertaining layouts

In Coconut-grove, entertaining is less about square footage for its own sake and more about how a residence frames the evening: ceiling height, glass-to-terrace transitions, and kitchens designed to perform without dominating the room.

Both lean into indoor-outdoor living, both typically specify premium appliance suites, and both are built for a Miami social calendar that moves fluidly from cocktails to dinner to a final conversation outdoors. This editorial breaks down the hosting experience in each building through the lens of layout, volume, terrace usability, and amenity spillover, so you can choose the product that aligns with how you actually entertain.
