Ratings and reviews
6.0 / 10.0
Let me start by saying what was great about this rental. It was close to beach! The layout was thoughtful and functional which maximized the small space. There were lots of coffee amenities provided and a large cutting board that converted sink to counter space for food prep (and was the only surface for this). The unit was nicely decorated and clean.
What we didn’t like… I probably should’ve picked up from previous reviews that mentioned “musty” and the disclaimer in the unit description that there is a silent smoke detector in unit, but I did not so I will be blunt. The skunky smell of marijuana was STRONG. It wafted into the unit from the hallway and neighboring units. The hallways reeked of it. If our trip hadn’t been so short, we certainly would’ve relocated. The wall air conditioning units were LOUD and kept us from getting good sleep - I wouldn’t classify us as light sleepers, but not heavy either. The key fob reader at the pool entrance from the beach AND at the side door stairwell was broken. This meant that we had to walk all the way around the building from the beach to enter from the front door. The Internet and cable did not work during our stay. We messaged the property manager when we were leaving to make them aware for the next renter; given our short stay, we did not feel the need to have it addressed while we were there. However, I never received a response from the property manager so I question if it would’ve been fixed had we reported it earlier.

Great place right on the beach, easy access and lots of close restaurants. Definitely would stay here again.

The experience itself wasn’t terrible, but in terms of cleanliness it could have been way better. The place was picked up and neat but definitely not clean. The shower was grimmey and the utensil draw was sticky and messy. The room was a bit musty when we walked in. Definitely smelled dog on the bedding in the living room, and the bedding on the bed was also not clean. The place is really cute nearby a lot of different activities and the amenities were great like the beach chairs. I would say if the place was more attended to and cleaner it would have made a huge difference . The people in the building were nice and communication with the host was easy and quickly responsive.

The condo looks just like the pictures, is small but functional, and right on the beach. There was a cleaning issue upon arrival, but it was taken care of right away. A lot of restaurants within walking distance as well as a small grocery store. Having 2 lounge chairs and an umbrella available every day on the beach is a wonderful benefit to this property.

This was our 1st time staying at Miami Beach. This location is perfect and within walking distance to so many restaurants and shopping and much more. This unit was perfect for us and love it being right on the beach. The beach is absolutely beautiful!
I highly recommend staying here. We will definitely stay here again.
4.0 / 10.0
The location is perfect. Communication w property management great. Unfortunately the unit didn’t meet our standards for cleanliness. Everything needs a good clean, the property has seen a lot of use and reflects that. Air conditioning units very noisey and the unit doesnt smell fresh. The building itself is not in good shape, really beaten up foyer and hallways.

This property is quiet and in a great location. The competitive rate made it a good value. Communication was very prompt and effective.
8.0 / 10.0
Nice location and property condition. Be mindful that air-con units are very loud, every night there was a group of neighbours sitting around swimming pool until late night, so you cannot keep windows open if you want to avoid the noise. Beds are not comfortable to sleep, and I would suggest need replacement of mattress and pillows. On the plus side - sea view from windows is amazing, access to the beach and beach card is definitely a plus (although fairly priced in), helpful beach toys, towels, etc. Unit is equipped enough to do cooking, but kitchen feels small and cramped, so we didn't really use it much.

Exactly as advertised. Beautifully renovated condo right on South Beach. Wonderful stay. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The place is exactly as advertised and consistent with the pictures. We didn't understand the reviews about the stairs, they were clean and well lit like any stairway you would find in a hotel or apartment building. The place was close to everything but far enough down the beach from the nightlife so that it was quiet. Being a small building there was not much competition to use the private swimming pool or even the public beach behind the building. The back door takes you past the pool to the boardwalk where you could take a romantic evening stroll without feeling crowded or unsafe. This was a great property, especially for 2 people.

The building is all rental apartments. This is one of only 6 that are on the end with 2 windows that look out toward the ocean. It is definitely an old building and the hallways smell. This inside of this particular apt was recently renovated and is well stocked with most of your needs. The cleaning crews do well, but you can tell they rush because of all the buildup of dirt in the corners of the bathroom. The kitchen is small, but ample to cook a small meal for 2. We ended up having to leave 2 nights early due to a personal issue. The host would not refund any part of that, but did say if we came back, they could try to work with us. We understood as they really had no way to rent it those nights. At least a partial refund would have meant a lot, but again, they're there to make money. My review rating has nothing to do with these 2 nights as there were no term violations.

AMAZING
My friend and I came to Miami for my 21st birthday. This condo was IDEAL. We had a blast and met some really cool people. It’s nicely renovated and the AC works like a charm. The beds are so comfortable (there is one main bed and then a sleeper sofa type of thing in the living room). When I come back to Miami, this is 100% where I will be booking to stay. You are also smack dab in the middle of Ocean Drive and right next to all of the action (definitely don’t rent a car, we used bikes the ENTIRE time, & legs of course). We obviously went to Miami for the night life and was able to enjoy it all while being within walking distance to get home a little drunk😂. During the day, we went and slept on the beach which is directly out the back door. SO SO SO nice and just loved everything about it!☺️

It is close to the beach, However there is a heavy homeless population in this area. No balconies at this hotel even beach front. The hotel employees were very fast to return an email if you needed something. The room is an absolute maze of light switches which many light bulbs were burnt-out. The rooms were clean but the stairwells had not been cleaned in years they were absolutely nasty.

Five day Break
Great location and access to the beach!! People do stand around and sit outside at entrance. Be careful and make sure no one enters in with you that shouldn’t. I would advise to bring extra washcloths that you can leave there. Condo was nicely decorated and stocked with about everything you would need or use whether it be cooking in or laying on the beach with a cooler. Sent notification that a few things needed attention.

Great location.
It was so nice seeing the sunrise every morning from the windows of the condo. It's full of natural sunlight all day. The condo was very clean and well equipped. The owners are very accommodating and quickly responded to anything we needed. There is a property manage, on site, during the day. Everyone was very friendly and helpful! The location of the condo is perfect! You can walk out the back door and you're at the pool. Then you walk a few hundred feet and you're at the beach. What more can you ask for? It is so conveniently located that you do not even need a car. Thank you again to the hosts

The building was a bit old and dated, but the unit itself was very nice and well-kept. Great location and nice beach access. Overall, a bit small for four people, but enjoyed our stay.

Amazing! Sunrise views! Stay here!
I highly recommend this property! It's hard to put into words how wonderful our stay at this condo in South Beach was. Location, views, and owner/manager communication were second to none.
I will start with the views! Direct ocean views from bedroom and living room windows that will blow you away! Sunrise heaven. All day views. And steps to the pool and beach. This unit is the closest unit in the building to the water. The complimentary beachside lounge chairs and umbrella through Esteban's were icing on the cake. If weather is sunny but cool, you can find poolside warmth and wind protection.
The location is perfect. Right on Ocean Drive and 1 block south of 5th Street. Quiet area but 2 minute walk to the action. Restaurants, live music, coffee shops, and more. We did not rent a car. We walked, rode citibikes that can be rented as needed, and ubered when needed.
Any questions or issues, manager Claudia responded within minutes. For example, she had a new coffee pot delivered within 2 hours of my message to her that it was not working. Do not hesitate to contact her.
This place is small, charming, and well stocked. From beach chairs, beach towels, sun hats, sunscreen, beach coolers and even beer koozies.
A couple of recommendations: get liquor and basic snacks from the Walgreens on 5th and Collin's. Cheapest place we found. Instacart will also deliver groceries to the door. There is a Publix that is walking distance. We enjoyed 1 dinner on Española Way, charming but touristy. We ubered to Little Havana one afternoon for live music (Guantamera) and authentic Cuban food. Loved Old Havana restaurant there. And even smoked my first cigar.

Long weekend
Unit was very clean. Building is older and has some noise/recreational smells. Unit couldn't be closer to the beach or more comvienant to restaurants.
If you have an aversion to noise or a nearby party atmosphere then stay away. If you want a really cute and clean unit on a beach, walkable to great restaurants for a really affordable rate, this is it.
I'd go back. I recomend not renting a car, parking is expensive. Uber from the airport is easy and there's car rental places in town for day trips.

We loved it!
My wife and I stayed at a week here and loved everything about it. We were about two blocks south of the commotion of the main strip which was nice. The view out the window is the pool and the beach, we enjoyed watching the cruise ships coming in and out of port all week. There is a parking lot a half a block up that we were able to park in all week. It was a little pricey but it is hard to find parking in south Miami Beach at any time of the day so it was worth it.
The staff at the building, Especially Debbie, was wonderful. We lost our key coming in one day and she found it and held onto it for us. Very courteous and friendly people!
The kitchen was well equipped as we ate in most meals. There is no oven but the gas stove and microwave did the job. Anything we needed to cook was in there.
If we had any questions they were answered very quickly through text. Thank you for letting us stay at your place! It was a nice get away and we will stay again if we come back down that way.

Upon entering the place smelled of bleach to the point it effected my breathing. The floors furniture and kitchen appliances were dirty. There is strong smells of weed smoke and food in the hallways coupled with noise. A strange man attempted to get in the building by coming in behind me and my husband. There were bugs and no internet service could be reached. It was so horrible we left the next morning at 6am I would not recommend this place

We loved staying in Theresa's condo, which was exactly as described. Immaculate, with lots of thoughtful amenities, and of course access to a pool and beach. It was the perfect place for us and our two kids for a low-key Miami Beach experience. (Lack of parking wasn't even a drawback -- the 7th Street Garage is less than a 10-minute walk away, and it's safe, well-lighted, and very affordable.)

The property was very clean, located in a safe area with easy access to the beach and walking distance to restaurants and other attractions. We didn't have a car, which wasn't a problem, you can take Uber or use a public transportation to get anywhere. It looks that local parking lots are pricey, so plan accordingly. Small, but equipped with all necessities kitchen allowed us to prepare simple meals at home. The property is simply charming and I hope when I visit Miami next time, I will stay here.
