Direct Ocean View 1 BR Suite - Roof-Top Pool - Ocean Drive - South Beach

A nice and spacious apartment in a great location on South Beach. The host was really helpful and easy to engage.

The hall ways smelled like fish the whole time we stayed they were dirty. Elevator had a mind of its own and you push one floor number and then go to a different one.

If you want to feel the real Miami vibe, this is your place! But if you're looking for a quiet, low-key vacation, this might not be the right fit. It’s not fair to leave a bad review just because you didn’t understand what this place is all about.Let’s start with the room: we stayed in unit C401, which has a living room and a bedroom. Everything was spotless, and we never had any safety concerns. The views from both balconies were stunning, and the rooftop pool on the sixth floor was a great spot to relax—never too crowded. You get exactly what’s shown in the listing.And then there’s the Palace! Yes, the unit is above the Palace Bar, but that’s part of the charm if you’re here to soak in the Miami energy. The music stops at midnight, so you’ll still get a good night’s sleep. The shows are amazing, and the overall atmosphere on Ocean Drive is vibrant and full of life—just what we wanted.If that’s the kind of experience you're after, you won’t find a better place than this.

The building is dated, but it is an ideal location if you want to be up close and center to all of the action. We could see the beach from our rooms, walk to the beach, and stroll down Ocean Drive for entertainment, food and shopping. The Area is loud, but festive!I enjoyed the stay.

Being above The Palace is the best thing about this place, unless you don't like noise, then this place is not for you. The place in general is nice but needs wither a coffee table or side table out in the living area, there's nowhere to put your drinks. It's prime location in south beach you could uber from the airport or park a rental down on collins/13th street, super easy walk to the place. They might need to think about new cleaners, the dust is crazy high on things like the tv, boogers on the wall in the bathroom, dishes in the dishwasher with an old cleaning pack that fell out when we opened the door to see where the rest on the silverware and plates/bowls were, floors were sticky and had dirt when walking around barefoot first night. The wifi did not work the entire 2.5 days we were there, reached out to the owner and they were very responsive but unfortunately efforts did not make wifi available which sucks, cause I ran out of data. The tv's need serious updating so that you could watch any app you wanted while there, but they do have direct tv and hbo/max also so that's nice. I could go on about other issues but honestly the place is in a perfect spot for the beach, access to restaurants walking distance and bars/clubs in South Beach which is what I was looking for, it just needs a bit of help as it's not been taken care of well in the owners absence unfortunately.

This property had everything we wanted, except it is directly above The Palace drag show club and restaurant and the roof top pool is accessible to anyone(not just Strand guests) Warning: this is.party central, drag shows day and night (2-3am during festivals such as Pride week), pool parties every afternoon as of 3pm. The level of noise is extra high, derious base coming from below. We bought ears plugs at Walgreens to help us sleep. The location is central, the balconies are great, we had our meals out there every day. Faces sunrise, boardwalk, beach view, all the action of ocean drive, great during the day. But again, do not underestimate, as we did, the noise level at the front of the property, it's insane. We'll not be staying there again

Me and my girlfriend (22 and 20) spent a few nights here during the first week of March and had an amazing time. Close to everything and a great view of the ocean as well as lummus park. We were aware of the noise from the bar below but brought a white noise machine and it drowned out everything. Highly recommend one if you plan on going to bed early like us but the music stopped fairly early. Valet was difficult to work with but they got us in and out eventually. Overall a great stay.

When we booked this place we knew it would be loud and we were fine with that. However, we were not aware that our condo was directly above a place called The Palace. This was a Drag Queen show. Whatever.. to each their own. My complaint is that I wasn’t aware that is was sooo Loud till like 1-2:30 am. The loudest place on the strip. The hand held sprayer was broke, the toilet paper was Scott one ply, we found beer bottle caps still there from previous customers.

Property is as described on listing. Pictures don’t do justice to this unit! Highly recommended, we will back for sure!
