Super duper awesome

So the first thing to know about this property is that the club/bar/restaurant (Palace) on the bottom floor of the building has music/people on microphones going until 2am. I can only describe it as having your windows shut while a parade goes by outside. The room literally shakes from the bass. Trying to sleep prior to 2am is difficult. The only warning of the noise was an email sent one week before(too late to cancel) which said "it could get noisy". When I talked to the owner during my stay about the noise he said "I don't know what you expected you must have never been to south beach before" The location: is right across from the beach. I can't imagine getting much closer. The room: Could use some upkeep. Furniture is worn and damaged in spots. Mold on ceiling. I talked to the owner about the mold he said "its not mold, its from running the AC 24/7 and it doesn't matter if we clean it off it comes right back" Overall the room is OK and the location is great but the noise is just too much. If you plan on being out until 2am this room is probably great for you. If not perhaps find something different. I just wish there has been more of a warning when I booked this

There was mold all over the ceiling, and behind both beds. There were smear marks where someone tried to clean it but just gave up. It was disgusting. I emailed the owners and no one ever responded. We had friends staying in the same place so we stayed in their room. We were only there for a short time before our cruise. We both developed cold like symptoms which was not fun.

Mold on top of the entire ceiling of our apartment. As well as a leaking vent in the bathroom above the toilet. We also had someone trying to get into our apartment on the first night who ended up sleeping in front of our door that night. The place in general was absolutely disgusting from top to button. I asked our second night if anyone is going to come into our place and clean. The man at the front desk said “ ever since covid we don’t clean anymore”. I don’t really care about how people view covid anymore but after dealing with 3 years of this craziness I would at least expect places to be clean. It smelled rotten and moldy near the dishwasher along sink area as well. I had to ask about 3-4 times for fresh towels as well clean the place myself on vacation. I tried to get a hold of property management and nothing happen as well. Again this isn’t something I like to do is write bad reviews on places but this is more of a safety hazard more then anything. Money is hard to come by now in days with paying for a place to stay for vacation and enjoy your time you would like to get your moneys worth. I would like to be contacted in any way possible to discuss the issues that went on.

Great location! Hosts easy to communicate with and room had most all we needed. Close to beach and South Beach action.

Can't beat this location if you're looking for South Beach experience. The bars/Ocean Drive are loud even with the patio door closed, so be prepared for noise until around midnight. We went out until after then most nights so we really didn't care. Rooftop pool had a great vibe and great view. Place was overall clean and quaint- the bathroom outlet didn't work and some dishes did look like they weren't cleaned very well. Overall was still perfect for what we were looking for and would recommend.

I have stayed at so many of Rob and Val's units over the years and have never had a bad experience. The location is amazing and central to just about everything. The view is relaxing (just look out not down). I know some folks have posted about seeing roof tops/AC units. If you sit in the chairs and look out then you see Ocean Dr, palm trees and off in the distance the ocean. It is loud late into the night due to the show down stairs so if you are a light sleeper then then is not the spot for you. You really just hear the bass of the music and not much else so if that doesn't bother you then this place would be fine. The units are always clean and nicely decorated. Their are plenty of towels and linen and pillows and the kitchenette is stocked with the basic utensils and what ever condiments others have left (sugar, coffee packets, salt). The only compliant I have is that there was little to no communication about the broken fridge and we had ordered instacart for breakfast foods that required refrigeration. I did reach out by phone and left a message, by VBRO email and talked to the front desk. Other than saying an engineer came by there was no resolve about the issue and we had to throw the food out. Because over the years we have never had any issue with any unit I get through them I will most definitely will be back but was slightly irritated that I had to throw food out (instacart/food is not cheap).

The room was really perfect for my stay but the refrigerator did not work. I wasn't prepared for the noise from Palace but that didn't phase me. It was a great visit to Miami. I will be back.

I was most insulted about the leaks in the ceiling. It feels extremely disgusting to be hit multiple times by nasty water coming from the ceiling. I told the front desk about the issue and it was never addressed. You can not use the toilet or the shower without water hitting you from the ceiling! It feels disgusting! Also the unit is rented as a one bedroom and it’s a studio. The refrigerator didn’t work, the microwave is old/dirty, and many of the plugs didn’t work. Overall I love the location especially for the beach but I was extremely disappointed by the upkeep of the property.

Great location across the street from fabulous ocean park. Nightlife abundant but loud into the late night. Would have been helpful to know the hotel name so we could find it - had to drive by twice on very busy street. This unit was actually in another building 2 doors down. Room was well appointed but needed aesthetic maintenance. Air vents need cleaning and rug was rippling quite a bit, frosted glass doors needed cleaning or refrosting. Roof top pool on the main building was awesome! Be careful to check ALL the fees before hitting the book it button! The price is not necessarily what is shown on the search screen!!
