OCEAN FRONT STUDIO UNITS, Miami Beach

The property sits on the beachfront, giving you immediate private beach access and ocean views. Miami Beach itself is a 14-minute walk away, with several restaurants, bars, and shops within 0.3-0.5 km. Miami International Airport is 18 km away - about 30 minutes by taxi or Uber - and there is no airport shuttle. The 24-hour valet service is included, so if you have a car, arrival and departure are straightforward, though parking retrieval can sometimes involve a queue.

Units feature air conditioning, a private entrance, and a kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and electric kettle - no oven. Bathrooms have a bath and shower. Some units have a curtain or glass divider separating the sleeping area, and there are 2 beds per unit (a double or two singles). Many reviews note that the building and rooms are ageing, with worn furnishings, occasional musty smells, and possible pests. The lifts are known to malfunction at times. Noise from nearby rooms can be an issue. If staying in a room without a balcony, keep in mind that smoking is allowed on balconies of those units that have them.

Blue Gin and Ricky Ticky Bar by the Pool offers American and Argentinian cuisine, along with cocktails, and is open daily from 11:00 to 21:00. There is also a poolside snack bar, a coffee shop on site, and vending machines for drinks and snacks. Grocery deliveries can be arranged for a charge. The surrounding streets offer plenty of nearby dining options, including IT Italian Trattoria, Lola Restaurant & Grill, and Shula's Steakhouse within a 0.5 km walk.

Wi-Fi is free of charge in the rooms. Free valet parking is included and available 24/7 - one vehicle per stay, with no reservation needed. Parking is not available for drop-offs or cruise storage. The building has 24-hour security, key access, and smoke alarms. Luggage storage is not specifically provided, but the 24-hour front desk may assist. A minimarket and ATM are on site. Laundry is available in the lower lobby for a fee. The property has a lift, but there are about 15 steps from the parking area to the lifts, which can be inconvenient with luggage. The staff can vary in helpfulness, and check-in sometimes requires waiting at the security desk, which is open 24 hours.
