Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed the views, location, and our responsiveness. We'd love to host you again in the future! 😊🏙️
What a wonderful stay! We couldn’t have asked for a better view, better location in Coconut Grove or better access to great restaurants and Biscayne Bay. This condo has it all.

As a family of 5, we enjoyed the convenience of many dining options in walking distance. My kids loved the marina and the view of the harbor was lovely. The rooms and beds are comfortable and clean. Will recommend to friends visiting.
Room had everything we needed except laundry detergent and coffee makers did not work in either room. Cozy and enjoyed our stay. Enough space and walkable to everything. Hosts were very prompt responding to messages.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the cozy space and convenient location. We’re sorry to hear about the coffee maker and lack of laundry detergent. We'll make sure to check the coffee makers and address this for future stays but also know that we're always here to assist in case you have any issues during the stay. We also provide a welcome kit, which includes detergent to get started, but we’ll review our communication to make this clearer. Thank you for highlighting our prompt responses—we’re always here to assist! Hope to host you again soon!
First of all, the view and the location could not be better! We LOVED the balcony!
We've previously stayed at the Ritz and the Courtyard by Marriott (both in Coconut Grove) and this Unit gave us more space and much better views for less $. It's an easy walk to the downtown area.
Great communication with Natalia - very easy check in and out.
The unit was very clean! The only issues: a dead outlet in bathroom and floors needed better cleaning. (Natalia offered to correct both immediately.)
We hope to stay here again in the near future!

Unit Fine - Check in a Disaster
Had a really terrible check-in experience. Arrived at night from a long day of flying to find a few piles of dirty/stained towels and robes. Ok, housekeeping mistake - not a big deal. Then realized the promised crib, which was confirmed earlier that day, was missing. For anyone with a toddler, this was a potential disaster. We reached out to the property manager via text and it seemed she couldn't care less. Not only was she not interested in solving our problems, but she decided to disappear mid conversation (I literally watched a text bubble appear and then go away) and leave us to fend for ourselves. Like she was bored or something. Had to beg the front desk (who had nothing to do with this condo) to locate one which finally showed up around midnight. Our sleep was completely ruined and the next day was shot as well dealing with a sleep deprived baby. After two days of arguing the owner finally decided to comp us a cleaning charge which honestly felt offensive given the situation. A real hotel would have waived that first night and not argued the entire time. The unit was fine - the building had a great location, but this Company, specifically the on-site manager, needs a serious lesson in hospitality. Oh, and the dirty towels and robes were never replaced - big surprise.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Michael. aWe appreciate your understanding regarding the oversight with the towels and the missing crib. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by these issues. Our housekeeping team strives to maintain high standards, and we will address this matter to ensure it does not recur in the future.
We regret that we were unable to replace the towels, we did offer to, however, we were told not to as your toddler was sleeping. Regarding the crib, we acknowledge that our housekeeping staff overlooked it, and we apologize for the oversight. We are glad the hotel was able to provide a crib for the remainder of your stay, and we hope it met your needs.
We genuinely appreciate your understanding and patience throughout this process. Our goal is to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for our guests, and we regret falling short of your expectations. We hope that the beautiful neighborhood and great views enhanced your overall stay.
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.
