The kitchen includes a double hotplate, microwave, coffee-maker, toaster, fridge, and cookware, making it suited to self-catered stays.

Guests have access to an outdoor pool, a fitness center, and an on-site tennis court, along with valet parking included in the stay. The building also houses a restaurant, tiki bar, convenience stores, a bike rental outlet, and a travel agency. An elevator serves the building, and a coin-operated laundry with washer facilities is located on the lower level, with laundry cards sold at the security desk.
Dining
Beyond the on-site restaurant and tiki bar, the surrounding area has a cluster of dining options within a short walk, including Blu Gin Restaurant and Lounge just 247m away, the kosher restaurant Silan at 473m, Lola Restaurant & Grill at 370m, and Cafe Bernie at 478m, giving guests a range of casual and upscale choices nearby.
Location
Two bus stations on Collins Avenue sit about 400m from the property, and the beach, pool, and Miami Beach Boardwalk are all close at hand for swimming and other water activities. Miami International Airport is about 17.7km away, while cultural draws like Wynwood Walls, Bayfront Park, and Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, plus the Collins Avenue Shopping Area and Miami Beach Convention Center, are all reachable by a short drive.
Best for
This studio suits beach-focused leisure travelers and small groups or families wanting a self-catering base, thanks to its direct beach access, pool, tennis court, and kitchen facilities. It also appeals to pet owners, since the property accepts pets up to 25 lbs with a deposit, and to those wanting a quieter residential setting still within a short drive of South Beach's nightlife and dining.
Travel tips
Check-in is anytime after 3PM with keyless digital-lock entry (your personal code is sent ahead of arrival), and check-out is before 11AM, so plan arrival timing accordingly since early check-in may incur a fee. The nearby Collins Avenue bus stops (around 400m away) offer an easy way to reach South Beach and other parts of Miami Beach without a car, and it's roughly a 5-10 minute drive to South Beach or 25 minutes to Miami International Airport. Note that pool access is restricted to daytime hours (from 8am) and the tiki bar closes early, so evening on-site recreation is limited to the room or beach.
What guests say
Reviewers frequently mention friendly and efficient valet and front desk staff, even though initial check-in can feel a bit chaotic. A recurring complaint concerns the property's dated condition, citing worn drawers and stained tile and baseboards. Guests have also flagged accessibility issues, particularly the lack of a stroller ramp, and inconsistent communication around early check-in requests and related fees. Restricted hours for the pool and tiki bar are another commonly noted limitation, with the pool unusable before 8am and the tiki bar closing early.
