GIRASOLE RENTALS SUITES, Miami Beach

The property sits directly on Miami Beach with a private access point from the pool area, making it a matter of seconds to reach the ocean. Mid-Beach is quieter than the South Beach strip, yet within easy reach of its attractions: Lincoln Road is a short drive or trolley ride away, and the Art Deco Historic District is approximately 3 km south. Miami International Airport is 18 km away (about a 20-30 minute drive without heavy traffic). A free Miami Beach Trolley stop is located right outside the hotel, providing convenient car-free travel along the entire beach corridor. For those driving, free on-site valet parking is included, but note that during peak times (evenings and weekends) there may be queues to collect your car.

Units range from compact studios to one- and two-bedroom apartments and a villa, accommodating families or groups with up to 4+ beds (including double beds, futons, and sofa beds). Every unit has a private bathroom with a bath and shower, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a tea and coffee maker, and a kitchenette equipped with a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, and cookware. Some rooms feature a separate living area, dining table, and minibar. The building has a lift and is entirely non-smoking. The property is older and furnishings vary: while many rooms are spacious and offer spectacular sea views, the overall décor and fittings can feel dated, and some furniture (beds, sofas, cabinets) may show wear or be unstable. Room conditions are inconsistent - comfort and cleanliness depend on the specific apartment. The size and layout are generally good for the price, especially for travellers who prioritise location and views over modern interiors.

The outdoor swimming pool is open all year (daily 08:00-20:00) and has a bar/snack area nearby. Sun loungers and beach chairs are available for free. The property also offers a fitness centre (free) and a hammam (Turkish bath, additional charge). The pool area is generally well maintained and clean, though the pool may be closed at times for maintenance - this can happen without prior notice. Beach access is from the pool deck, making it very convenient. The fitness centre is basic but functional.

Free private parking is included with every reservation-valet only, no self-parking option. The valet service is quick during off-peak hours, but at busy times (evenings, weekends) waits of 30-50 minutes are possible. Wi-Fi is free in rooms, though signal strength can be unreliable in some apartments. A 24-hour front desk is available, but its staff may not handle issues for privately managed units; in those cases, the guest must contact the apartment host directly (often via email or app). A minimarket on site sells basic essentials and snacks. Cots are available but must be requested in advance. Laundry facilities (coin-operated) are available in the building. There is no housekeeping service during the stay; any additional towels or supplies must be requested and may take time to arrive.

The property has a bar/lounge area adjacent to the pool. There is no restaurant, but the kitchenettes in each apartment allow guests to prepare their own meals, and many nearby restaurants are within 0.3-0.5 km: Lola Restaurant & Grill, Hoshi and Sushi Asian Cuisine, Blu Gin Lounge, Rococoa Cafe, L'Edito Restaurant, Shula's Steakhouse, and Oli Cafe. A minimarket on site can supply basic groceries and drinks.
