We really enjoyed our stay at this property. This is a well kept vintage property among newer 3-4 story condo building, and near some very exclusive neighborhoods. This is a great central location especially if you want a relaxed safe area central to either Miami or Hollywood/Ft. Lauderdale. The view was lovely as it overlooked the golf course of a country club as well as a waterway. The unit faces south and there are great sunset /sunrise views from the balcony which had a nice seating area. While you can walk to the beach and shopping, we found it better to drive the 5 minutes to these locations.
The place was clean with real hardwood floors (rare in FL), older style cool windows from the 40's that really let the breeze blow through the condo when you want. We had 4 teens and two adults were very comfortable. Plenty of room around the dining table and sleeping accommodations. The couch is very comfortable too and one of the teen boys took a few naps there. The kitchen had all accommodations needed with extra pantry room for our food items to keep everything clean and neat.
The teens loved jumping in the water off the floating dock and took out the paddle board and kayak a few times. They had a ball and enjoyed the waterway. We rarely saw a boat over a week's time aside from a security boat for the country club across the way so seems to be relatively private and safe for water activities.
Scott, the property manager/owner, was a great communicator provided absolutely awesome customer service while we were there. He gave us a grand tour to start things off, but also was johnny on the spot when we needed anything, Our airline missed one piece of our luggage and they delivered when we were out. Scott helped and grabbed the luggage to keep it safe.
He helped with the water toys, even as the boys tipped over the kayak. He was there to let us borrow scissors and a few rolls of toilet paper when we were running low. Our flight out of MIA was cancelled, so we unexpectedly had to rent a car causing a delay in our checkout time. Scott was very gracious although he had some guests checking in later and even looked over the teens for a bit while I was picking up the car at the airport. I'd give Scott 6 stars if possible!
If you are staying there, I highly recommend Carpaccios for awesome Italian with a great view of fancy cars, fashion and people. Josh's is tiny but has has a really great breakfast / brunch!
