A washer and dryer sit in a separate laundry room, with detergent and dryer sheets provided. Other listed features include air conditioning, heating, an iron and ironing board, a clothes steamer, a hair dryer, cable TV, free Wi-Fi (advertised at 75 Mbps), an iHome station and a Bose sound system. The amenity list also includes a hot tub, a crib and beach towels.
Beach & Building Services
The penthouse is advertised with unobstructed direct ocean and beachfront views and beach access just downstairs, with palm trees and beach volleyball mentioned in the listing. The building has an elevator, a 24-hour doorman and an on-site restaurant downstairs. Audio/video surveillance covers entrances and exits only, and none is inside the unit. The property is smoke-free, and the host says a 24/7 front desk and on-call team are available.

Transport & Parking

Miami International Airport is about 16 km away (the listing says roughly 15 minutes), and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International is about 32.6 km away. Parking is paid: valet at $49 per day, metered street parking, or a public garage one block away on 7th Ave. The host suggests a car isn't needed because of ride-hailing, taxis and bike rentals.
Best for
Groups of friends or extended families of up to about 10 who want a beachfront base in South Beach. The four bedrooms, full kitchen, in-unit laundry and direct ocean views suit longer stays, and the many restaurants and bus stops within a few hundred meters suit guests who prefer to walk.
Travel tips
A car isn't necessary. Bus stops on Washington Avenue are about 200 m away, and the listing points to ride-hailing, taxis and bike rentals. If you do drive, parking is paid: valet at $49 per day, metered street parking, or a public garage one block away on 7th Ave. Reviews describe self-check-in with a smart lock, and one guest reported a long delay getting in, so confirm arrival details with the host ahead of time.
What guests say
Guests who liked the stay praise the direct beachfront views, the bright, naturally lit space and the easy self-check-in with a smart lock. Another reviewer simply notes the property is nice and right on the beach. A strongly negative review reports a check-in delay of more than two hours and poor communication from the property representative. The same reviewer cites no air conditioning in a bedroom, a cracked stove, clogged showers, broken blinds, worn towels, cleanliness problems and fewer beds than advertised. Experiences look inconsistent: location and views are the strengths, while maintenance, cleanliness and host responsiveness were raised as concerns.
