if you like sleeping behind a locked door at night, this is not the property for you. the code lock on the front door consistently malfunctioned and the door would remain unlocked all the time, and the dead bolt lock was cut off. Showers weren’t too enjoyable due to the shower head being broken and low water pressure. other than those things the condo itself was nice. very small kitchen, much smaller than it appears in the pictures, but fully stocked with plates, cups, silverware, and pans. the location was fantastic, just a 2 minute walk from the beach and right next to ocean drive, but the building itself was old and run down. The elevator was broken, tiles on the stairs were broken and in piles, even the main entrance to the building is in an ally next to the Main Street. my family and I didn’t feel very safe walking in and out of the building everyday to be honest. overall, it might be worth it for the price to stay a few nights, but just know it’s one of the cheapest condos in south beach for a reason. Prepare yourself before you stay here.

The location is dead center of happening South Beach with lots of local stores and markets to get any necessities for your stay. A block off Ocean is ideal for beach access, restaurants, and nightlife. The apartment itself was big enough for a family of 5 and our 6ft son did just fine on the couch pull out in living room. Apartment had all the basics needed for an enjoyable stay in South Beach. Building is in need of repairs to elevator (not functioning) and stairwells (broken chipped tiles) but the building felt safe.

If you are planning to go to South Beach any time between March 1 and April 15, DO NOT stay at this rental. We are a mother and two teenage daughters and booked the apartment based on past reviews of positive experiences there and the photos posted. Nothing in the reviews prepared us for what we found when we arrived at 4 in the afternoon. The apartment was literally at ground zero of the mayhem that has been occurring in South Beach for the past few weeks. The “charming older building” turned out to house an abandoned store front on the first floor. The building hallways were run down, wreaked of pot, and were full of day time party-goers either drunk or high (unclear). The street in front was packed with people barely clothed, blaring loud music, also clearly drunk or stoned and yelling profanities at one another. The front door did not close tight and anyone could have pried it open with a tool. Once inside, we discovered that the door had a broken swing lock and no other way of securing it. We could not open any of the windows because of the noise outside and the smell of pot that pervaded everything. We reached out to the rental company right away to let them know that we did not feel safe staying in the building. We returned to retrieve our luggage at 7:45 to find police cars patrolling the block in front, blaring bull horns about a “state of emergency” and telling people to observe an 8 pm curfew and get off the streets. We left the area immediately. South Beach has had over 1100 arrests in the past few weeks in this area of the city. There was a shooting around the corner from this building in the last several weeks. A young woman recently was found dead after being drugged. We have learned that there had been 400 arrests for felonies, and that police have seized more than 100 guns in the past week. We rented the apartment at a time when this clearly dangerous situation (a state of emergency) had not yet occurred. The rental company refused to work with us on returning any of our money. I would avoid this rental around spring break, Memorial Day or Labor Day.

Stayed here for 4 nights! Right around the corner from all the South Beach action!

The apartment is definitely not as neat as the pictures suggest. Building is dirty and many things in the apartment fall in parts. That said the owner was very responsive and provided quickly the missing pan and blankets. The location is perfect so in the end we had a pleasant stay.

We visited for Spring Break. The home was great! Perfect location a block from Ocean Drive. There is so much around to do. We were literally in the middle of everything. The only reason I am giving the house 4 out 5 stars is because it is a bit out dated. Nothing is wrong with it, just could use a few upgrades. Especially in the kitchen and bathroom. Also, we struggled with opening the lock box. It is positioned at a difficult angle. So it was a little frustrating since we had problems when coming & leaving. Overall, it was great! I would recommend.

Great location and accommodations for spending time in South Beach! Close to beach, variety of restaurants, etc. Host very accommodating and helpful.

My overall experience was wonderful!! The room had everything we needed an more!!! Will come stay again!!!!

This two bedroom is fairly spacious and the location can't be beat. It's very close to shopping, night clubs (Mango is 2 blocks away) and the beach. Be aware, however, that you need to find your own parking - there is public parking a block away for $20 a day - and there is no elevator. You will have to carry your luggage up and down the stairs to the third floor.

The apartment left nothing to be desired. I really liked how bright and clean is was.

Clean rooms, plenty of towels and a fully stocked kitchen. We stayed for a week and it was awesome.

It was clean and it had so much space. The ocean was amazing and you can get anywhere you like very easily.
