Very much enjoyed the house & access to South Beach. Front porch is divine with the ocean breezes. Amenities were all updated & worked well, including bikes and beach chairs. While not a huge house, it was perfect for my wife & I with two older kids. Also, kudos to Kim for repairing the AC in a timely fashion. Hope to come back!

This was our second year staying here and we had the best time! Great location - easy proximity to both the beach and the shops/restaurants around the Maritime Market. The house is laid out really nicely so that our kids waking up early didn't bother the master bedroom.
