in the pictures it looks different,

This place is a great for South Beach. The room is above the Palace I think its the loudest restaurant out of all the row of restaurants and bars but its I can sleep thru anything.

Not a place for kids, but if you love to party and hear/see live entertainment every day, this is the place for you. Rooftop pool is beautiful, location is awesome and we had access to everything we needed within walking distance.

The place is in the heart of South Beach; close to restaurants and entertainment; in fact, it is above Palace Bar. The noise coming out may be a problem for some, but a broken toilet seat, a ripped couch, a leaking tub faucet, a dirty microwave, and a broken dishwasher can irritate everybody that stays there. Also, the sliding doors leading to the balcony are broken. It takes two people to open if you want to go outside. Overall: thumbs down.

Exactly what was expected & smooth sailing all across the board with check in and all.

I think the location was great, in case you want to save some money while staying there, the place has a kitchen and everything you need to make a meal. The supermaket is very close to the location as well near Washington and you will save tone of money.

My stay was nice. The noise from the club was more than I expected but I was notified before hand.

If you are looking for a club like atmosphere, this is the place for you. However, if you are not, then stay away!! Yes, you can see the ocean, but there was a big tent on the beach, so you had a tent view. There is a bar/restaurant/nightclub below the unit and it is bouncing until 2AM seven days a week, not 11:30PM, as advertised on the posters. Unfortunately, the property needs some repairs. One of the repairs needed is a new lock, I did not feel safe, not being able to lock the door. A text was sent to the property manager with details, and to this day, I have yet to hear from him/her. We ended up going elsewhere to stay and would appreciate our money returned for the five days that we did not use the property.

The location was in a hot spot and lots of fun.

We left because the unit was seriously different to what was advertised and what we paid a lot for. Charged a separate cleaning fee but the unit was filthy on arrival. Blood stain on bathroom door. Hairs and grime in the sinks and tub, sunscreen smeared on doors, dusty and dirty cupboards, drawers, floor and cookware. Dirt and liquid residues in fridge, cooking pans used to catch leak under the sink, mould and dust in vents, dried out coffee and grounds in coffee maker, dirty items in nasty dishwasher. Owner offered a clean the next day, “if we really wanted” but said no problem could possibly exist Facilities not as described. Self parking is not available at the unit, there is public parking in garage 2 blocks away. Valet parking is available but the owner advised us the day before arrival that they recommend the public parking instead. There is no golf as a facility of the hotel, nor is there a private pool. The communal rooftop pool is shared with the Palace bar - the Palace’s website proudly displays it as the site of its rooftop bar. Many facilities, amenities and local attractions are described and pictured (sometimes not even falsely) but somehow the two large, busy and incredibly loud establishments that sit directly under/in front of the units are not even vaguely referenced. Tennis, a distance away, is. Wildlife viewing is. Outlet shopping, spas, snorkelling, cycling and many other calming, relaxing activities within the surrounding area are listed but strangely not the two bars. The Sugar Factory operates loudly until midnight or 1am every day. The Palace runs very loud and very popular entertainment until 2am, 7 days per week. You can hear nothing but them in your room. You can feel nothing but the vibrations caused by them in your room. If you want to use your unit for sleeping in between 11am and 2pm, this is not the place for you. Volume, duration and frequency confirmed by receptionist, the bars and numerous non-Vrbo reviews before we walked. The door to the balcony was unlocked when we arrived. Probably because the locking mechanism is missing completely leaving a large hole in the door. We contacted the unit owners before and after leaving. They use a pattern of denial, victim-blaming, lies and refusing to acknowledge a complaint. See if you can spot which tactic they use in the response to this review. Bonus points if they’ve repeated the same response in any other reviews about them!

Close to the most popular night life, nice vibe and great food and fun times along the strip.

Nice location, roomy apartment, nice balcony, fun roof top pool and bar - all as advertised. But the apartment is located directly above a loud entertainment venue that is rocking (and I mean loud vibrations and thumping) every night of the week from 7:30pm - 12:30am, and all day on Saturday and Sunday. It was so loud that our host had to relocate us to another building. Luckily, we were relocated and enjoyed the rest of our stay.

Someone is at the front desk 24/7 so you can check in or get what you need at anytime! It's right on top of the Palace which is the #1 drag bar of Miami and shows are going on everyday till 12am so the music is always bumpin'! (Music is tolerable, not too loud) Literally was the most poppin' place on Ocean drive every night! Rooftop pool/bar/restaurant was awesome with great views. Would definitely come back, room was nice and spacey👍🍹🌴☀️

I really enjoyed the location. Room was clean. Pool was clean. View was lovely. My only problem was parking. Parking was absolutely ridiculous. Other than that hiccup I had a great trip

The property is exactly as pictured on the site. If you want a party like atmosphere this is the place. The room is located above the Palace. So you are going to being hearing the music into the night. The room is clean except for the floors. I took off my shoes and they were immediately black. So be warned. Don’t go barefooted. Blow dryer is broken. So bring your own. Patio door in the living room don’t open so you have to go out it through the bedroom. They provide an iron but no ironing board. Overall it’s a nice place.

The property was great overall but we was told fully equipped kitchen but that was far from what we received plus we couldn’t open sliding doors an the elevator wait way too long

We’ve stayed at this property for several years now and it never disappoints! The space was great with the one bedroom and the view from the balcony goes all the way to the ocean. The roof top view is even better!! If you want somewhere quiet this is not the place for you as there are nightly shows downstairs but that wasn’t an issue for us.

We stayed here with our 16 year old son. We love music, but the noise level was much more than we expected, and it was Covid, so things closed down between midnight and 1am, so it worked fine for us. The sound carries, so if you have a hard time sleeping with loud music, not the place for you. We had a hard time figuring out the shower to get the temp right, but it worked fine. The unit is well worn, floor sticky in places, cracks in tile floors and the patio doors really hard to open/view not quite what we expected, but wan’t too bad. The bed is comfortable and I think there was new linens and new towels for us, so that was nice. It would have been nice to have a few more dishes/silverware and more places to put luggage and clothes off the floor as the floor didn’t seem terribly clean. Overall, price was fine for the amenities we had. The elevator was out for a couple of days, so that was a bummer, but we were able to manage. We love the atmosphere around here, so that part was nice. We did stay in a nicer place for a couple of the nights with more resort amenities. The rooftop pool had a nice view, but we were way over charged for a couple of drinks. If it were just a little bit less worn and a little more sound proof, it would have been perfect for us. The building, especially lobby/check in area smelled really musty. We brought a small air diffuser just in case as I know it can be musty with the ocean near, so we were fine. Thank you.

Our week long stay was about 4 days too long. While the location is great and the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful, the apartment is cramped and badly in need of updating. The bathroom is not spacious. Both the dirty drapes and the slider door to the balcony were difficult to open and close. The kitchenette did not have an ice maker. We could not relax at the rooftop pool as advertised because it is open to the public from the downstairs bar.

Not my first time to South Beach, but was my first time actually staying in South Beach. The unit is in a convenient location close to everything. Didn't need a rental car at all. The beach, CVS, small grocery stores, affordable restaurants, shops, as well as bars and clubs with overpriced food and drinks all within steps of the unit. Nice rooftop patio with panoramic views. If you want to be in the mix of everything stay here. If you want peace and quiet stay elsewhere due to the close proximity of the day and nightlife noise. Easy communication with the owners. My only complaint was the depressing weather (rainy and cool).
