South Beach holiday condo: Miami Beach

We stayed in this apartment for a week as part of a group of 5 adults who also stayed at The Mantell Plaza. The week was excellent, the accomodation was in a great location for all the main areas including collins avenue, washington avenue, lincoln road and ocean drive. It was a hop arcross the road to the beach and there are two supermarkets within easy reach. There were also two hire car companies across the small bridge on collins avenue.

Our apartment was very spacious with everything we needed, suitable for two adults and the local residents were very friendly. The pool area was also a great benefit with all day sun and a handy gazebo with lots of chairs and a table when the rain did appear.

The only suggestion would be to contact the person who has the key when you have collected your baggage to avoid a 15-20 minute wait outside when you get there. The building is fully secure (a good thing!) so you cannot get in without this.

Would recommend to those visiting South Beach.

Myself and 2 friends decided at the last minute to have a girlie holiday to South Beach, Miami. A few people had said that the hotels are not great in Miami so we opted to rent an apartment instead. We came across a couple but this was the best value for money. The pics of the apartment looked so nice and the bonus was that it also had a gym, pool, laundry room, tv room and small library in the tv room with a range of books to choose from to read whilst soaking up the sun's rays.

We stayed in apartment #304 and it was perfect. It was clean, sparkly new and comfortable. It was just the right size for the 3 of us but would be perfect for 2 people, particularly a couple.

The location was a little way away from the main part of South Beach but was perfect as we didn't want to be right in the heart of it all. Due to the heat it was too hot to walk during the day so we used to get taxi's which were approx $6 and between 3 of us worked out to just over £1. Plus the taxi's are air-con'd which is a defo must in Miami!!!

The apartment building is clean and quiet and there is a life so you don't have to worry about getting your cases to your room.

The guys who rent the apartment, Simon and Jamie, are lovely, friendly and so helpful. They told us lots of info about the surrounding area, how to get to places and any events they knew of. They also gave us a few basics so that we had water, tea, coffee, milk, etc. when we arrived. The other thing is that they provide cleaning products so you don't have to worry about buying washing up liquid etc. if you are cooking in the apartment.

We didn't hire a car and we got on absolutely fine. Like I said the apartment is in a good location and is not far from the main part of south beach or Lincoln Road or Washington. It is also literally a 2 min walk to the beach and local shop where you can pick up basics.

I would definitely recommend this apartment and I am hoping to stay again next year. It is great value for money and you are guaranteed to enjoy your stay.

The property is calm and pretty, the suite is well decorating and we felt so good around the beautiful pool! The location is also perfect to go to the beach, just on the other side of the street. I'm sure we'll come back soon!
