This studio condo is right in the middle of all that makes South Beach the place to be, the beach, the restaurants, the shops, the clubs. The owner provided accurate and truthful descriptions of the location, condo layout and it's amenities. The place was very clean and well stocked with everything one needs in a home away from home. Although the furniture was a bit worn and outdated, it was functional and comfortable. The kitchen was completely remodeled and well stocked with all that is needed for meal preparation and eating. The cupboards contained dishes, glasses, seasonings, coffee and other items. The appliances were a nice touch, too. There was even dish detergent and paper towels! The wi-fi never let us down.

The rooftop deck provided awesome ocean views. We enjoyed being at the unit as much as we did being out and about.

The owner was forthright about the location of the unit above a restaurant/bar and was not as noisy as I anticipated. My experience with the owner was all good. He was very prompt and responsive. He refunded my damage deposit promptly.

This was my first vacation rental experience and I hope to return to this condo next year,

One of our favorite vacation getaways when we've got more time for a beach vacation is the Virgin Islands. This sweet spot reminded us of those vacations, just a LOT closer, and less expensive. The condo is exactly as the owner describes -- the location is incredible, and the unit is nicely cared for and ready for guests. Everything from burgers and margaritas to more elegant fare is a short walk away, and the beach and park is directly across the street. When we did need a cab, it was no problem to step outside and get one within minutes. The owner does a terrific job of communicating prior to the stay, and then checking in to see if everything's okay, or if we needed anything. We didn't -- its really well equipped. If you're looking for quality and an owner who cares, you'll find it here. Enjoy!

I am glad you enjoyed your stay, but I need to clarify that I do now own the deck on the 4th floor.
