Viva Miami!
Review Submitted: March 17, 2009

I visited Miami twice prior to this trip and have stayed at local hotels. They usually will look very nice and modern (stucco) on the outside, but the rooms are usually small, damp, and have too much noise from the local area.
This condo was away from the noise, but close enough to walk to all the action. It's romantic enough for a couple and spacious for a group of friends. Kitchen, washer/dryer, and dining area are extremely useful. Everything was clean and set up nicely when we arrived. The beds were also very comfortable...something I can't say about the other hotels I've been to in Miami.
Starbucks within 1 1/2 blocks..which was a big plus for our group. And if you want to save some $$, we had to the option to cook a nice dinner one night. Both pool areas in the complex were very nice and relaxing. South Beach parking is horrible, so I would suggest taking a cab. The fares were cheap even to downtown Miami when we saw the Heat beat the Celtics!
Miami/SouthBeach has something for everyone. Guys can bar hop along Collins Ave...the women can shop at upscale shops. People watching is a must. Chris Brown/Rihanna/Britney Spears, NFL players... were all in Miami during our trip.
The owner of the condo, Gene, was easily accessible and helpful with suggestions. Since he is from the area, I was able to save time and money with useful hints that most tourists wouldn't know about.
I would definitely consider going back to visit Miami for vacation. After staying at this condo, I wouldn't look anywhere else!
