My wife and children stayed in the apartment for nearly 6 weeks, and I joined the last two weeks. The apartment is in a really good location; a few minutes walk away from the beach, and shops. The apartment block swimming pool was great, perfect for the kids, with my 2 year old learning to swim in the 6 weeks. Key Biscayne is a beautiful island with the national park, where you can cycle round the tracks and stop off at the Boater's Grill, and watch the boats come in, or go for a nice meal in one of the many varied restaurants nearby. We did have a car, and visited the Parrot jungle, Miami Zoo, Grape land water park, and the many shops. If you want to treat yourself then you definitely need to go to Klima - a Spanish restaurant on miami beach (near Collins and 23rd). The food, service and restaurant were great. All in all a great holiday made by an awesome apartment, (and owner). Which I would highly recommend.
