You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

On Beach - 3rd/Ocean - Direct Ocean View and Access - Pool

This is one of the few ocean facing apartments in this art deco building in SoFi. It's been completely renovated to reflect the beautiful light throughout the day, that starts with the sunrise. Furnishings are light and fresh; bedding and towels are high quality and comfortable.

The beach is just out the back door, across the pool area, through a private walkway through the dunes. The condo is equipped with a Beach Club Card which allows you to receive two FREE beach chairs and one umbrella for free at Esteban's Place Beach Service (this is a $40.00 value per day anywhere else). The apartment includes beach towels. There is no service at Esteban's so either pack a cooler with your favorite drinks or hop over to The Savoy Beach Bar, just one block north for cocktails on the beach.

The building just received some fresh paint, new artwork and some other repairs and renovations. It's well maintained and monitored. However, please keep in mind; it's a humble, low key art deco building of vacation rentals, not ultra luxury accomodations like the surrounding buildings and the area.

More on the area, it doesn't get any better. Some notable hangouts are Nikki Beach Club, Carbone, Catch, Kissaki, Forte Dei Marmi, all within 3 blocks of walking distance. Boardwalk is right in the back of the building, parks and public spaces surround the whole area.

For more casual options, just walk north on the boardwalk where you'll find a vibrant restaurant, bar and shopping scene.

No parking garage in the building. A car is neither needed nor recommended but plenty of garages available in the area. Spot Hero app gets you the best options and rates. Uber is affordable and widely available.

Just go with it
If you are strictly looking for placement, this is your place! Views of the ocean and very quickly accessible. For us, we made it work and were fine. Easy walk to the night life of ocean drive. Needs some deep cleaning and painting, doable though. It is old and the overall complex smells, not the actual comdo. Unfortunately there are not drawers to put your items, a few hangers, but basically living out of a suitcase.

Perfect Location
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.

Great location and value
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.

Great location, unit is a little rundown
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.

Liked: Cleanliness
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.

Beach in the backyard
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.

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.

Cozy Apt On Beach
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.

Liked: Communication
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.

As good as it gets
Great property with direct beach access. Communication with owner/mgr was great. The description is perfect. This end unit offers amazing view of Miami Beach. This visit met all our expectations and more. A big highlight was the ability to walk everywhere… including to get food, enjoy the scenic views, stroll the beach and give thanks for all we have. Cheers!

Like a beach cottage in a building
The apartment was exaxtly as described. We have stayed in this building many times in other apartments and this by far was the best. The view is great and you can watch the sunrise perfectly. The only drawback is the airconditioning. It needs to be upgraded. A little stuffy and warm but otherwise great.

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!☺️
