OceanFront Ultra Luxury Penthouse 09 Private Rooftop Jacuzzi/Steps to Lincoln Rd

All of the tiny negatives aside the apartment itself was compact and very nice and central. Incredibly quiet for where it was. It is not mentioned much in their advertising but it's a pretty cool place to stay even with kids because downstairs there is a pool table, and other games, a bar that can be used when the weather is bad which is super helpful. They have a very nice restaurant for breakfast downstairs (we didn't eat other meals there) The pool was pretty small and not heated but we only used it briefly as we prefer the beach. We would probably stay there again but do not envisage a trip back to Miami any time soon. So for the negatives ..... The person that greeted us at arrival was clearly newly engaged in her job since she had no responses to our questions and had to text someone constantly. Better that the person on the end of the phone line deal with the check in on her own. Unfortunately the upper deck hot tub was not working (which we found out after we filled it at 8pm at night with water that was green). Sadly it took over 24 hours to repair. (again our agent had no idea what to do so I called the number supplied and dealt with someone else who did know what was going on) Our stay was only for about 36 hours and so we missed out on using the hot tub on the second evening since we had dinner plans. At 3am we were woken by a smoke alarm set off by another person staying in the hotel. We didn't realise it was that until I asked the next day. Apparently it is common since international visitors still try to smoke indoors. We though we had to be out by 11 the next morning so I text our agent asking if it was the case since we would have liked to try to have some extra time. She replied back to me at 3.45pm letting me know that we could have left at 12pm. All things aside this is a great little place and deserves to get a good wrap. Having too many people 'manage' it is not a good idea. The person on the phone dealt with everything just fine on her own.

We spent 4 nights here during Art Basel! It was a perfect location in easy walking distance to Art Basel, Scope, Aqua & "Untitled " art fairs. We took an Uber to Art Miami and Context, which was easy. The apartment was well equipped with a kitchenette & Nespresso coffee maker. The balcony and rooftop deck & Jacuzzi with ocean views was amazing. Front Porch restaurant on the 1st floor was awesome for breakfast. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to return!

This is one of our favorite places to stay in the whole world. We travel a lot and this elegantly appointed penthouse is a must visit. It is uniquely situated on the corner so you feel as if you’re in your own secluded house on the beach yet right in the middle of all the action of South Beach. It is hard to explain how this place makes you feel. It’s a very unique spot. Relaxing on the private corner rooftop terrace next to the jacuzzi gives you the feeling of being on the top floor but not so high up that you miss the smell of the ocean breeze, all the sights and sounds of the beach. The bed and leather sofas are luxurious and very comfortable . The owners have paid attention to the details and made this place very special. Definitely will be returning year after year.

Penthouse 09 is one of a kind with a rooftop hot tub and great views of the ocean. The staff that service this penthouse suite were extremely responsive and helpful. Perfect location right in the heart of South Beach with Lincoln Road and the ocean a few paces away.
