This apartment suits beach-focused couples, families, or small groups looking for a self-contained stay with ocean views, a kitchen, laundry, and direct beach access. Its two-bedroom layout sleeps up to five, while the family pool, separate adult pool, hot tubs, and nearby playground add options for different kinds of stays.
Travel tips
Two bus stops are within about 80 metres of the building, and Miami International Airport is approximately 17.3 km away; allow for traffic when planning airport transfers. Parking is paid, and beach-chair rentals and water sports are additional-cost services. Ask the property about cabana availability and pricing before planning to use it.
What guests say
The available review excerpts praise the ocean views, beachfront location, comfortable apartment, and bedrooms; one guest also describes the unit as clean and cozy. Guests mention the kitchen has basics for simple meals but is not fully stocked. One reviewer found the hosts flexible and helpful with a late checkout arranged for a fee. The excerpts are positive overall, but they are too limited to establish broader recurring trends.
