Perfect stay, perfect location to explore Miami Beach and Miami. Most of the times no rental car needed.
Very nice communication with owner.
4.7
Beautiful place.Right off the beach the view was so amazing from the bedroom.i will book again soon.
4.7
The beach access was across the walkway and made so easy to go back and forth with my kids. Public playground was .5 miles that is walkable. Night was great to sit on patio.
4.7
The property was not clean, it is old nothing like the photo they show. The building is too old and it looks dirty. The linen closet was bery disorganized. I would never stay in that property again.

Beautiful townhouse, equipped with all the essentials, easy beach access and boardwalk.
4.7
Absolutely perfect for our Formula 1 Miami experience. Very spacious with extreme relaxing ocean front views. Everything we needed was on site. Check in was a breeze. Thank you for a wonderful visit and we would definitely stay again.
4.7
If you are looking for a beach front condo, this one is for you! From the bedroom you can see the ocean and watch the sunrise and set. It is 5 miles to the pier, there are Citi bikes you can rent and ride on the city walk which is right outside of the patio. This condo has everything you need!
4.7
Lovely town home ! Just like the pics! Literally steps away from the beach ! They even had beach chairs to sit /lay on for the beach which was so nice !
4.7
This was exactly what we were looking for -- a quiet place with excellent beach access, the ability to cook, and not too far from downtown Miami and other activities.
4.7
Despite being an older property, it had updated bathrooms. It also had amazing views and was right next to the beach! I would definitely stay here again!
4.7
A dream getaway. If you’re looking for relaxation with the best beach access in the area this is it. Total R&R from day one! Just what we needed. We plan to return ❤️
4.7
Great location - just walk out the back patio and you are right at the beach. Unit had everything we needed. We’d stay here again!

My husband and I arrived to this town home our first night around 9:30pm after a long day we were very tired,but did notice the floors felt kind of sandy, woke up the next morning looking for towels and found them still wet and soured in the washing machine, the patio was very dirty also, we got ahold of ‘’Jeff’’ to let him know this was not acceptable, his response was,, he would send the maid to clean I then told him we would be checking out first thing in the morning, then his response was, My poor maid feels bad. In my opinion it should of already been clean to begin with when your having new people arriving, I then told him, we would be checking out first thing in the morning as we had to find an earlier flight home. So our 6 day vacation only ended up being 2 days , Jeff did not seem to care and only felt bad for his ‘’poor maid’’ ALSO where this townhome is located is in a very ‘’outdated hotel’’ that has a very horrible smell. Would not recommend at all.
4.7
Loved staying, bed was comfortable. I do wish there were blackout curtains; there is room darkening shades but not blackout. However I’m a night shifter and a night owl. Shower pressure in the downstairs shower was amazing. I’ve stayed in this building for years, first time on the first floor with the walk out to the beach, and I’ll never do anything different again! See you next you Miami

When we arrived, we opened the door to an overpowering pungent odor that we believe was an airfreshner. It was terribly overwhelming.
The greater concern was the visible mold and lack of cleanliness of the unit, which is why we believe such a strong airfreshner was being used. The floors were sticky, something nasty melted on the nightstand, and we killed something running across the floor that looked dangerously like a cockroach. Peeling paint, chipped tile, rust, mold, and grout issues in the bathrooms.
The cleaning supplies, vacuum, brooms, etc, were visible and very unappealing to have to look at considering the unkept state of the unit. The outside space was missing cushions, and the ones present were filthy and had mold on them.
Also, there were several amenities that were unavailable. The pool, there was on-site dining that was closed, and the "convenience" store was not convenient as they were closed or the computer system was not working.
Unfortunately, our experience with your property was overwhelmingly unhealthy and negative.
4.7
Nice little spot. Plenty of room beautiful sunsets!
We loved our stay
4.7
This was by far the best vacation home I ever booked, and I've booked alot!! The house is situated right on the beach, 12 steps from the gate of your private terrace. The house is decorated with modern furnishings and accents , and is stunning!! Everything you need to enjoy your getaway is provided, and the owner Ivana is just spectacular!!! I will definitely be returning in the near future!! DO NOT LET THIS SPECIAL GEM PASS YOU BY !!!
4.7
My family and I stayed here for a week and we loved it. The place is as advertised and the views and distance to the beach, can’t be beat!! We did not use the hotel amenities, but we did eat at the restaurant in the hotel a couple of times, and would recommend it. The valets were also fast, courteous, and professional. We would definitely stay here again!
4.7
This town house suited us perfectly. We rented simple bikes in the lower lever and biked each day on the walking/ biking path right outside our patio. The beach was also right outside our patio. A very pleasant stay.
4.7
This condo is directly on the beach. It is perfect for a beach vacations.
4.7
Lovely Townhouse on the beach. Accommodations were spacious and included alot of amenities. The property where the townhouse is located is sub-par. The pool was cold and surrounding patio and seating needs major upgrading. The hotel portion was outdated and run down.
4.7
Overall, a great location for us! Nothing beats opening the back gate and being on the sand in 2 seconds, especially if you need a refill or potty break. Our family stayed Spring Break and totally enjoyed it,
Pros:
1) convenience to the beach
2) well stocked kitchen : pots, pans, some pantry staples, dishes, coffee filters.
3) well stocked closets: beach chairs, umbrellas, pack n'play, towels, pool noodles, even a walker for some reason.
4) huge patio for morning coffee and afternoon cocktails. Nice BBQ
5) motorized blinds with black out shades.
6) Bike rentals and small convenience store available first floor
7) The boardwalk is a great place to walk, run, bike, and its steps away from patio
Cons:
1) small ants like a previous reviewer mentioned. Do not leave anything open on the counters. Ants got all in our cereal. Leave in fridge or containers with tight-fitting lids
2) Swimming pool area has no ambience or landscaping. Looks like the parking lot. But we came for the beach so did not spend any time there.
3) The condo building itself is very outdated.
4) This is more a residential area: no walkable store fronts or restaurants near by, but still very busy with cars and pedestrian traffic.
5) Turkish baths were closed all week, despite the sign saying "open 365 days"
6) The gym has been moved to an area with no windows. Lots of (older) equipment, but I think more enjoyable to be outside in the sun.
7) In the condo, downstairs bathroom faucet is loose.
4.7
Well, let me start off with the positive. The apartment was very nice and the proximity to the beach was incredible.
The things that bothered us were the roaches in the kitchen. The upstairs bathroom had what I assume were fruit flies.The bathroom towels were raggedly and had bleach stains on them. We had emailed the host on Tuesday and we never heard back from them which is very displeasing to me. The building is very run down. There are very few lounge chairs by the pool and almost all of them are broken. There is paint peeling off the outside of the building. Having said all this we did enjoy our time there. The views are incredible.
4.7
This was a fantastic rental property. The view and proximity to the ocean was even better than advertised!! The place was clean and bright when we arrived. Had a tiny problem with small ants crawling the counters, but it wasn’t too much of an issue. Would definitely recommend as a stay!
4.7
My finance and I truly enjoyed our getaway and this property was great in every way! Would stay again

Things I liked:
Spent a month here and had a lovely vacation in south Florida. We had a car and did a lot of exploring.
Good value for a great beach location.
Beautiful Miami beach literally outside your door!
Beach walking path wonderful. Goes for miles!
Gorgeous sunrises and views from upper level (bedroom).
Bicycle rental close by.
Brand new kitchen appliances and washer/dryer.
Fast internet.
Comfortable king sized bed in bedroom.
Large deck with table, chairs, and couches.
New BBQ on deck.
Rain-shower and handheld shower fixtures.
Pretty turquoise colour theme throughout.
Host (Ivana) communicated well. A broken microwave and burned out light bulbs were replaced quickly.
My son and I enjoyed the poolside bar.
The valet service was included (required). The valet staff were super friendly and accommodating. Bring tip money. Shout out to Marvin!
Walkable to 3 great restaurants which were hidden in neighbouring condos (Bernie’s, Lola, sushi place).
Things I didn’t like:
Spiral staircase to get to living area needed some painting. If you have mobility issues this is NOT the unit for you.
In general unit needs some maintenance and proper cleaning.
Bathroom sink areas moldy and one faucet completely loose. Excessive use of caulking to cover mold.
Junk in closets and cupboards (Paint, construction materials, ladders, broken vacuum, etc) was off putting.
Inadequate cutlery, cutting knives, pots and pans.
Bedding supplies were inadequate. Needed new clean pillows.
Cockroaches and ants in kitchen.
The building (which has no name) is a bunch of individually owned units. It does NOT feel like a resort or hotel. It is in rough shape. The lobby is almost ridiculously ornate and out of date.
The front desk where you check in is manned by rude security staff who are NOT service oriented. You will NOT get help with your baggage. Baggage carts are in short supply.
You will frequently find long lineups at check in time plus disgruntled patrons trying to ask questions of security.
The pool is NOT heated. No pool ambience or landscaping.
Valet parking is required. Beware of long line ups at checkout and crazy busy over the holidays.
The area is not walkable to shops, restaurants, groceries.
The deck was nice but you had to look at other units decks some of which were filthy and unkempt.

My husband and I stayed here midweek on a last minute vacation. The direct access to the beach is unbeatable. Great patio and directly on the bike path. The place is clean, spacious and has everything you could want. We did not spend any time at the pool given how close the beach was. The gym was a little bit tired but not crowded. Super responsive host who went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a quiet beach vacation!
4.7
Location was excellent. Beautiful views during the day and evening. Very clean, no problems at all. Just as listed. Highly recommend.

Overall star was good an pleasant! Patio area was our major hang out area. No bugs, very clear, decent furniture. The walking trail is tranquil even at night. Lots of resources within the building. Wish we would’ve taken advantage of everything during our stay. The restaurant in the building only had one chef so might be best avoid if you see a crowd as it may take a long time to get your food. Other than that, would stay again!
4.7
Enjoyed it
4.7
Pros - The place was as advertised, it really is just a few steps to the beach! The unit was clean, all furniture and appliances were in working order. I can’t emphasize the convenience of not having to lug beach chairs and umbrellas a long way ( or taking space in your car while traveling) to enjoy the beach. All were provided for in the unit.
Cons- no biggies here - the blinds at the masters bedroom ran out of battery bin the middle of our stay there, but the patio was a beautiful spot to watch the sun rise and sunset; and like I said the beach was just steps away. The valet service was pretty slow but we got around that by either having the tour bus pick us up or if you learn how to use the free trolley services that run around Miami Beach or the buses that bring you downtown Miami which run pretty late into the night and that pass right by the hotel entrance, you won’t need your car too much for the valet service to be a problem. These 2 cons won’t stop me from staying there again and again.

Great location with a private exit to the beach. The suite is spacious and comfortable. Good for 3-4 people.
The hotel is somewhat worn out, the valet parking is slow, especially on weekends. The pool is not perfectly clean, but you probably won't need it with such a great beach.
