Alexander 511 Beachfront condo w/ 2 swimming pools, sauna & direct beach access

Liked the pool area and valet staff were very friendly and brought car timely. Property needs updating especially the bathrooms. Floor in one of the bedrooms needs to be replaced.

Great place for a few days, lovely spot on the beach.

The property itself was awesome and beautiful . But the condo needs a lot of work done .very outdated . We requested for additional wash cloths and was told someone was coming and no one ever showed up. It was 4 of us and each of us had a wash cloth a piece and the stay was for 3 nights .

Loved the location and decoration

Very helpful staff. The weather was unseasonably cold and they delivered an extra heater to us within half an hour. Apartment was clean and well kept.Great overall experience.

The property was in a great location. The unit was clean and quiet, but some of the finishes in the unit were a bit dated. Overall a nice location.

The location is great and the building has a great pool and beach. The apartment is dated, and while clean, there’s chipped paint and mildew. The elevators are horrible!!

The sunrise and sunsets were spectacular. The balcony was a plus. The beach access was ideal although on several occasions the “green” elevator key; which I would assume would work on the beach gate didn’t and we had to ring the bell; albeit everyone in the party tried w/o success. Speaking of the beach; the umbrella and chairs listed in the amenities was less than par. The umbrella has multiple broken arms and the chairs should indicate “sand” chairs; the description being misleading to think you got chairs and umbrella from the beach (surprised with an extra fee & Being 60 yrs of age has its disadvantages with getting up off the ground). The king size bed was reported to be comfortable and the room with the two queens the queen on the left the springs were felt to be popping through. Overall, we had a good time.

Direct access to beach, great experience with unit management. Perfect for families with kids

We enjoyed our stay. The location was great, direct beach access. Having two hot tubs and two pools, one for the adults and one for families was great. The bar offers food and drink service at the pool and beach. The unit served our family of 4, with two adult children, well. It is a little dated, but was well represented in the listing.

Location and communication with host

We had a great stay. Beds were comfortable. The only thing is the kitchen was not very equipped for cooking. But good if you are just want drinks and coffee etc. But we made it work. Over all had a great time!

Nice Building!

Best location right on the beach. The pools and facilities are well maintained. But I had a hard time to contact with the host with my concern. Overall, this place is wonderful.

If you want a fairly economical way to enjoy Miami Beach, then this is it. Property amenities were very nice, proximity to the beach was spot on, and overall vibe was good. The actual condo is somewhat dated and has wear, but it is priced accordingly, so don’t go in expecting perfection. Condo floors were not super clean… first hour barefoot and my feet were dirty. If you plan on cooking, bring your own pots and pans and seasonings. Glassware and plates sufficient in the condo. Correspondence was a little difficult…I asked about 6 questions before arrival and only half were answered. When they say NO beverages and snacks allowed to be brought into pool area, they mean it. Also, they DO NOT provide you with any beach chairs, you have to rent them. As long as you are aware of these things and plan accordingly, it is a nice stay.

Great location!

Excelent location. Everything ok when we get the correct wifi code

Accurate listing, clean, easy checkin at condo. I wish I would have parked in lot next door instead of paying for valet, but valet was great. WiFi didn’t work.

We recently stayed at this apartment and really enjoyed the location and the supreme service at this location. Everything worked very well and was just what we needed to relax. Everything was well maintained and clean. We have also stayed at other properties in other buildings next to this one which were extremely disappointing, so we are extremely happy that this one was very good.

The room had plenty of space for a family. With 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms seperated by a common area was great for several people. The pools were nive as well with easy access to the beach

The staff was great, location was great but the room itself was very dated. Outside of that the room didn't feel clean. There were stains and ants and sand everywhere. There was cigarette butt's on the balcony along with the balcony furniture being dirty enough to mark up our clean clothing. There was holes in the walls covered with furniture. Just all around not the greatest. I think one of the funniest complaints my kids made was that they provide 1ply toilet paper in a 5 star price range! That being said I know every unit is different and I saw other complain about smell and air-conditioning. Our air conditioning in 511 was great though what they have considered the primary bedroom did get stuffy at night and our unit had no bad smell. It was a mixture of salty air and the air freshener they use. The other large upset was that you could not take your own drinks to the pool. I was told I could not take my kids cup outside and when traveling with kids drinks and snacks get expensive. If they hadn't charged my husband over $35 dollars for 1 single cocktail and a juice it wouldn't have been so bad but you can tell they're looking to make a dollar anywhere and when your drink are in stainless steel cups or non breakable tumblers those should be permitted at the pool deck.

Overall our stay was very nice.
