The Neighborhood:
SECLUDED ON A BARRIER ISLAND WITH SHIMMERING GOLDEN SAND, THIS KEY BISCAYNE RESORT PRESENTS LUXURY WITH A TROPICAL TOUCH.
Not far from Miami Beach and downtown, an island escape awaits at The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami. Stretching along the beachfront, the luxury hotel is an opportunity to experience Miami living with redesigned ocean-view residences and suites, the renowned Cliff Drysdale Tennis Center, a Caribbean-inspired resort spa and Lightkeepers restaurant featuring Florida-sourced seafood.
Getting Around:
Enjoy the beautiful Miami weather by renting a bicycle on the property to explore the grounds or to venture farther afield to the many hidden bicycle trails that wind through the island. If you’re interested in getting out on the water, there are many nonmotorized activities that can be arranged through the hotel: boating, fishing, riding Jet-Skis and much more. Nearby, visit the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens — a National Historic Landmark and European-inspired estate — to not only tour the interiors of the main house but also to explore the 10 acres of gardens on Biscayne Bay as well as a serene native forest. You can also take a variety of transportation options available - Uber, Lyft, Taxi.
Other Things to Note:
A rental agreement from Viac Management will be sent for signature following the confirmation of each reservation. Signing this document is mandatory.
KEYCARD RULE: A $60 deposit is required for the issuance of a keycard. This deposit will be fully refunded upon the return of the keycard. Failure to return the keycard will result in the deduction of the deposit as a replacement fee. We kindly remind all patrons to ensure the timely return of their keycards to avoid any unnecessary charges.
Check out is at 11am unless requested and approved for later than 11am for $90. We charge an unauthorized late checkout fine of $250.
For your information, please be aware that The Ritz charges a security deposit of $300 per night. This amount can be used for bar, restaurant, and hotel services.
DON'T FORGET: Bring an umbrella. Miami may average a balmy 77 degrees, but it also sees its fair share of rainstorms — about 128 days each year. Also, sunscreen, swim essentials and comfortable shoes. You can walk to many areas in Key Biscayne, or if you choose to explore downtown Miami by car and walk to the many shops, restaurants and vendors.
KIDS: The Ritz Kids program offers fun activities for children ages 5–12. Activities are customized to the age of each child but include fun events like face painting, animal shows, magic shows, poolside games, arts and crafts, kickball and even live “mermaids” by the pool. Snack breaks with kid-friendly treats like chicken fingers, fresh fruit, popcorn and more are included. Reserve a spot for your child by 5 p.m. the day before.
TOILET: We ensure that our toilets are in perfect working condition prior to guest stay. Guests are responsible for any clogging and plumbing issues caused by flushing toilet paper, paper towels, sanitary products, and other materials. If the plumber finds evidence of such items, repair costs will be charged to the guests.
Interaction with Guests:
We have 24/7 guest relations ready to assist with any questions you may have during your reservation - we are just a message or phone call away.

My wife, infant child really enjoyed our time. Access to all and a great view from the room.
4.7
Beautiful room in a beautiful resort. And the host was incredibly responsive and helpful!
4.7
Beautiful resort, restaurants was great, amazing pools and private beach resort, amazing service from beach staff.
4.7
The bed squeaked any time you rolled over, lifted an arm! The carpet had stains! The bed linens had stains! The coffee maker had no regular coffee, only decaf! The hotel refused to replenish because this was a VRBO rental. The light in the bathroom needed a new light bulb! One of the telephones did not work…..I will not use VRBO again! I took a friend and was totally embarrassed!
4.7
The only thing that I was a little but disappointed was the bed. Wasn’t the quality the hotel offers. The sofa bed instead was very good.
4.7
The room itself was not up to the Ritz standard. A good cleaning to remove the food from the walls in the mini kitchen area, and baseboards need to be painted/cleaned (an inch of dust). The shower is clogged, and the water did not drain properly. The bathroom could be updated like the other rooms at the Ritz, overall updating e.g. painting and cleaning would be ideal to meet the standard of the Ritz.
The Ritz~Carlton hotel amenities were on par and the reason for booking the room.
Pros: the room comes with parking which is easy and accessible.
4.7
The property is First-Class. I itemized to the owner/representative our disappointments with 4
room key malfunctions(one causing us to miss a Family/Charity boat ride). The other issues were a parking garage card we never found until the last day, no ice maker in the fridge, and lack of coffee 'pods' for our 8 day stay.
The owner's statement to the Guests needs to be updated to inform their guests regarding these deficiencies. I responded to their inquiries and would
appreciate acknowledgment of our less than perfect expectations. The Ritz~Carlton reputation was lacking.
Thank you for your attention.
4.7
Staying at the Ritz Key Biscayne is always amazing. The check in process was smooth. You’re treated like a guest by all staff and have full access to all amenities. The room was clean and had a nice view of the ocean.
4.7
If you're blue, and you don't know where to go, Why don't you go where fashion sits? Puttin' on the ritz.
First class accommodations as you’d expect, as is Quinten.
4.7
Good service
4.7
This room was as advertised. We had a beautiful room on the 10th floor with a direct view of the ocean. The room was spacious and clean. We had a parking space in the hotel garage and had full access to all the amenities of the hotel (except, weirdly, when we asked for some extra shampoo they said they couldn’t provide it to us- so bring your own!).
We will definitely stay here again!
4.7
Enjoyed our stay. Carpets need to be cleaned.
4.7
Location and resort is amazing. Very good communication with host
4.7
The room was just as described. Pull out couch was easy to set up for our kids (ages 3 and 5). Wish there were 4 pillows and 4 towels (there were only 3 of each so the kids had to share a pillow and a towel for showering) but we made it through. I agree on the listing that you should plan to bring your own toiletries, however there were plenty of blow dryers and a travel pack-n-play which aren't usually available for these types of rentals.
This is our 2nd VRBO at the Ritz Residences in Key Biscayne and it's a great location. You can charge things to your room as if you were a regular hotel guest. Our favorite part is having your own key entry to the garage (& elevator access from the garage direct to your floor) so you don't have to wait for valet or mess with the lobby.
Early Check In: We tried early check-in but never heard back from the property manager in time to do it. We hung around the hotel instead, but would have rather changed in the room vs. the lobby bathrooms. Again, not the end of the world, but would have been a nice bonus if we could have had quicker turn around on messages back and forth.
Overall, solid stay with little ones in a secure and quiet location.
4.7
Pretty view! Great hotel amenities
4.7
The condo is beautiful. Furnishings were in great shape and we had everything we needed. Check in was easy and we felt very spoiled throughout our stay! Quentin checked in on us before and during our stay to make sure we were comfortable and didn't have any questions. We would definitely recommend it!
4.7
Perfect location spectacular view but the suite needs freshen up. Coat paint would be enough, evidence of wear. The bed squeaks and could use an upgrade as well. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will return!
4.7
Very easy to work with property owner. Room as described. Wish we had a longer stay to explore more of what the property had to offer.

We enjoyed our stay and the host was very responsive.

Beautiful ocean views - impeccable ritz service ethos
4.7
We stayed here while meeting up with friends at the same property and had a wonderful experience. The room was clean with a beautiful resort/ocean view. The check-in process was just like checking into a hotel. We had access to all amenities offered by the Ritz Carlton minus the cleaning which we knew about in advance. Quentin was responsive, although other than to request an early check-in we didn't need to contact him because everything was exactly as promised. Would highly recommend and would definitely come back.
4.7
Great room and location! Amazing amenities and service!
Great communication with property manager
4.7
Great room with wonderful view! Excellent vacation. Weather was picture perfect. Able to go from ocean to poolside for nice change of scenery. The only thing to consider would be room darkening drapes to make it perfect!

The studio was great; clean and well appointed! Looking forward to our next stay!
4.7
Everything was outstanding.
4.7
Great hotel located right in the beach with pools only steps away. Great option if hotel rooms through Ritz Carlton are booked up. Just like staying in the hotel.
4.7
Overall, decent stay. The whole unit was a bit dated, not sure it is entirely worth the price tag.
4.7
The room was fantastic with a great view.
I am sure it was just remodeled because everything was in tip top shape.
Food-Spa-Pool were also excellent!
Quinton was a great host.
All paperwork for rental was done on my cell phone.
I hope to use Quinton in February.
