Excellent position right on the beachfront.Good kitchen, but property has seen better days, furniture bit dated with delaminated kitchen cabinet doors, generally clean but missed some cleaning, glasses, cups and cutlery mismatch of odds and ends. Decoration ok but some parts quite dirty such as around sockets etc. Shower downstairs was excellent but upstairs shower quite poor in power and ease of operation.
This is a nice house in an older building that needs to be updated. It is located directly on the beach. There is no traffic noise, amazing in such a busy area. Definitely worth staying here. The owners are very considerate and prompt in responding.
We could get used to this. We very much enjoyed our stay here. Everything as stated in the listing. Direct access to the beach and beach path was not at all exaggerated. 5-10 steps. Made for a very relaxing vacation.
I absolutely love this beach house! This is my second time booking with this amazing family! The staff is very nice and prompt! The view is to die for! And I would recommend anyone looking for amazing views great prices and great service to book!!! I will try to book with them every time I come to Miami! Which is twice yearly! I can’t wait to book again! Thanks for the hospitality! Sincerely the Smiths!

The check-in process was pretty frustrating. The host didn’t provide any check-in information ahead of time, so I had to contact him twice and eventually reach out to VRBO. He only responded after VRBO contacted him. He mentioned there was a medical emergency, which I completely understand can happen, but I had also tried reaching out about four hours before check-in without any response.The place itself was mostly just somewhere to sleep at night, though the view was beautiful. Unfortunately, there was mold in the bathroom shower, which definitely needs attention. There also weren’t any checkout instructions provided. We planned to wash the towels and bed sheets before leaving, but there wasn’t any detergent available.Overall, I’d give it about a 3-star experience. Nothing personal against the host — better communication and some improvement to the bathroom would make a big difference.
The room was not clean. The air conditioner was leaking in the ceiling, down the wall, down the stairs, and to the lower level. The ceiling had pieces of drywall hanging from it. It had an obvious mildew/mold smell. We tried contacting the owners but the provided phone numbers did not work. The check in desk was successful contacting the host. We requested a full refund and left.
Overall a great experience. Location was fantastic with easy access to the beach. There was no soap or shampoo for either bathrooms, but luckily we brought our own. Having the washer and dryer was a game changer compared to staying at a hotel. Kitchen well stocked with cooking utensils, and clean overall. Valet parking was typical for this resort, slow during peak times. We waited an hour last night for our car, other residents complained about there experience during these peak hours. Aside from that, the valet were courteous and quick at other times. No reflection on the townhome property, just a comment on Castle Beach.Would we stay here again, absolutely! The owners were very responsive and kind. The unit itself was very quiet, we never heard the neighbors next to us. It was a peaceful getaway and would be ideal for a small family or couple that need a break from daily life and escape to the tranquility of the beach. Tough to leave, but hopefully it will be available again for us next year.
We came for a sister trip. The location is a 10/10–right in beach and boardwalk to run or walk! The amentities/place was adequate & clean but a little run down. You are are a mile or less from many places to buy groceries or eat etc. The complex (old hotel) that houses the condo unit is very outdated and a quirky/gritty vibe (ie random establishments/stores in the basement and just an odd vibe. I will say though, also houses in the basement of complex is a Turkish bath that has a cult following and my sisters said was incredible. All in all, an amazing location, adequate condo, and an odd vibe if in the lobby. Miami Beach was amazing

The unit was referred to as a beach house/town house. It is in a large dated hotel with some condo units that are accessed on a hall. It is not free standing. The positive- million dollar view and great beach access. The bed was comfortable and the downstairs shower had great pressure. The negative- no coffee, no shampoo or body wash, a roach crawling across the floor. Not sound proof. Valet parking was very slow. Unit needs paint and updating.

if it was free standing it would be 20 times more expensive! difficult to please unappreciative people
There is always some negatives in everything . For me , it was a positive and great experience staying on this property. Here are a few I felt it’s great to stay in this property.1) south beach location is great . Access to the beach is unmatched.2) Rooms were clean and well kept . I do agree on few things on the review but not a biggie.3) the host Jeff is very accommodating and always responsive . Ready to help anytime .4) very very safe as the location is in the heart and seconds from the boardwalk.5) the host had beach chairs which were very useful.6) all appliances were in working order.7) valet parking was useful. 8) towels and beach towels were plenty.For me it was all about safety and we felt very safe and was able to walk at night without worrying for anything .
The condo is in the perfect location and perfect for my little family. It does have some wear and tear, but that doesn’t bother us. The boardwalk, beach access and all the amenities were perfect for us. We could go on our runs and super close to the beach!
This was exactly what we were looking for -- a quiet place with excellent beach access, the ability to cook, and not too far from downtown Miami and other activities.
My finance and I truly enjoyed our getaway and this property was great in every way! Would stay again

Fitter the good. View was awesome, right on beach location was great. Loved the beaches, very few people quite private. Now the bad. Dryer had clothes in it, washer had wet towels, I re-washed. Dishwasher about fell out because it is not secured. Air condition vents both upstairs and down were extremely dirty. Had ants or an ant like bug in the kitchen.
We stayed here for my son’s 15th birthday. This townhouse is exactly as pictured and described. Absolutely beautiful views! The adjacent beach is ideal. Not too crowded, lots of families. The location was great because it’s away from crazy night life but still bustling. Communicating with the hosts was lovely:) definitely be back!

Thank you for your review, some people like you are appreciative to have this unmatched direct access to the beach in the whole of Miami Beach.
Despite being an older property, it had updated bathrooms. It also had amazing views and was right next to the beach! I would definitely stay here again!
