GIRASOLE RENTALS, Miami Beach

The property is right on Collins Avenue with the beach and boardwalk steps from the back entrance. Lincoln Road and the Art Deco Historic District are within 6 km, and Miami International Airport is 18 km away. The cruise port is about 20 minutes by car. A free public transport stop is located directly in front of the building, making car-free trips along the coast straightforward. Several restaurants and a minimarket are within a 5-minute walk, though the immediate area is primarily a hotel strip rather than a dense dining or retail district. Parking is on-site and included, but retrieval can be slow - plan for 20-40 minute waits during peak times.

All accommodations feature air conditioning, a private entrance, flat-screen TV, coffee machine, and free Wi-Fi. The room stock varies widely: studios and suites have kitchenettes with stovetop, microwave, and refrigerator, while larger apartments and villas have full kitchens with ovens. Many units have balconies and sea or city views. Bed configurations range from double beds in studios to up to 7 beds in the largest villas, making the property adaptable for families or groups. Units vary in condition - some are well-maintained and spacious, while others are described as outdated with broken cabinet doors, worn furniture, and stained linens. Lighting can be dim in some units. If possible, request a recently updated unit on a higher floor to avoid noise from the elevator and hallway. Floor-specific unit details are available upon request.

Dining is centred on the RikiTiki Bar at the pool, which serves food and drinks - the bar and restaurant receive positive mentions. There is no breakfast, and there is no in-room dining. For self-catering, each unit has a kitchenette or full kitchen, and a minimarket is on site for snacks and essentials. Several restaurants are within a 3- to 5-minute walk, including Lola Restaurant & Grill and Rococoa Cafe Miami Beach, which provide options for breakfast and casual dining. For more variety, the shops and eateries along Collins Avenue are a short ride away.

The beachfront location provides direct private beach access and sea views. The outdoor swimming pool is open year-round (subject to possible maintenance closures), with a sun terrace and loungers. The fitness centre is free to use, and a tennis court is also on site. The pool area has a bar serving food and drinks. The beach is about 30 metres from the pool, making the combined beach-and-pool area a strong feature for families and sun-seekers. The fitness centre and free beach access are included in the stay cost; no extra fees apply for these amenities.
