Overall the property was great, location 10/10. However…. We did not have hot water in our shower: for 3 days we had to take freezing cold showers and that was after raising it to the hotel. It’s sad because it really took away from the experience and I would probably not stay here again or recommend it. 3 days of cold showers at a hotel…. The 2 things you want from a hotel is a nice bed and a shower. :(

Beautiful comfortable stay steps from the beach
Great location. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Great food and drinks in the restaurant (try the passion fruit margarita!). If I had to nit-pick then I'd say it would have been nice to have an outlet near the bed and the shower controls took a little playing around to figure out the rain head vs regular and hot water.

Short break
I recently had the pleasure of staying at a local house that truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the friendly staff made me feel right at home. Their warm welcome and attentiveness set the tone for a wonderful experience. The room I stayed in was impeccably clean, showcasing a level of care that is often hard to find. It was comfortable and well-appointed, providing a perfect retreat after a long day of exploring the area. What truly stood out, however, was the fantastic homely feel of the hotel. The cozy decor and inviting atmosphere created a sense of belonging, making it easy to relax and unwind. The communal spaces were thoughtfully designed, encouraging guests to mingle and share their experiences. Overall, my stay at this local house was a delightful experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming and comfortable place to stay. I can't wait to return!

Miami’s local house is a local gem
Found this hidden gem totally by accident. Loved the location , loved the vibe of the hotel. Rooms were spacious and comfortable with a lil extra just to set the mood right . Loved the location of the beach ,the beach towels and the chairs with the umbrella perfect oasis. The restaurants drinks were right on spot and the food which we had light snacky food and the breakfast was superb.The only reason we didn’t do dinner there because we had reservations else where that I made a long time ago. If I haven’t I would have definitely eaten there especially since they also gave us a 15% off coupon when checking in. The staff was very accommodating. When I come back to Miami I will be staying here and I suggest you do as well .

We booked a king room but we were notified just before we arrived that it was not available and we would have a two double beds and would receive breakfast vouchers to compensate for the inconvenience. When we arrived we noticed the bedspread was not full size, only half? So strange and not comfortable for sleeping. The air conditioning turned on and off all night it was either freezing- not great when you only have half a bed spread or the air conditioning was off and the room became very hot. Not a good night sleep at all. The bathroom light comes on automatically when you enter and the light shines into the bedroom which wakes up your partner every time you go into the bathroom at night. The breakfast voucher was fine but a little surprising that it only allowed us to have the most basic choice of eggs, bacon or sausage, potatoes and toast. It was fine but I would have liked something else on the menu. It did not allow us to choose from the entire breakfast menu. The food was good but it seemed strange that we were restricted to the most basic choice. The hotel is very cute and stylish but I would not stay again unfortunately.
