Beware of renting this unit while renovations are taking place at the building. The major issue was the noise associated with the construction taking place at the condo building. Although we were informed that renovations were taking place on the outside of the building, they failed to inform us that the noise would be unbearable. Starting at around 8:00 AM they were jackhammering on the floor above us and on our floor which was so load I couldn't even have a conversation with the person sitting next to me.
Lovely stay great views clean and nicely decorated.
Would stay again!

About the host
Hosted by Natalia & Silvia
After having lived all over the world across four different continents, my husband and I decided to return to Miami, a city we have always loved. We came here to rent out luxury apartments with the "boutique" flavor that defines us. Personally, I am an avid traveler and enjoy decorating, cooking ethnic food and meeting like-minded people. I have used VRBO abroad and I want to offer my guests a real “home away from home” experience.
Silvia is critical to our success. She oversees bookings and leads the customer service side of the business. Together with the on-site manager she routinely delivers the best experience for our clients.
We started off as property owners and from the beginning, we have helped investors manage their apartments, always in authorized buildings and in accordance with county and state laws. I hold a Master in Tourism Administration and an Interior Designing degree. My husband is a Ph. D, an MBA, and a Florida Licensed Real Estate Broker, and together we speak six languages, which allow us to interact with our clients like no other company. Our sophisticated proprietary technical platform enables us to serve you better. It’ll be an honor to have you stay with us at Miami Vacation Rentals!
Why they chose this property
Miami’s weather is pleasant all year round, which allows people like us to enjoy the city’s incredible range of activities. From outdoor sports, to a vibrant art and design community, to performing arts and events of all kinds, Miami has never been more busy and sophisticated. We also appreciate the different cultures which, among other things, are to credit for its rich gastronomical selection.
What makes this property unique
Awesome Place. The apartment is very well equipped and furnished by owner, an interior designer. We love what we do and it shows in every aspect: cleanliness, decoration with original paintings, full service, extras (wine waiting for you upon arrival). Yes, our apartment is very well equipped, uncommonly so.
You will be able to access the spa and swimming pool and receive towels at no additional cost. You may also visit the large gym and enjoy the selection of Technogym machines, or you may decide to take one of the many free classes available (spinning, yoga...).
