Paola's garden cottage is just as wonderful as it looks in the pictures. It's the perfect space for two, and her beautiful backyard provides plenty of space to relax and enjoy the sunshine. We loved our stay here! She's a great host -- there was fresh fruit waiting for us when we arrived, and she brought us delicious homemade panna cotta one morning! She also provided great restaurant recommendations. We went to several spots, and they were all fantastic. The location is stellar. It's really convenient for finding your way around. At first, we weren't sure about staying so far from the hubbub of South Beach, but it was actually fantastic. We only wound up going down once in our entire trip and instead, spent our time exploring other parts of Miami. It was way more relaxing and lots of fun. Overall, highly recommend! Next time we come to Miami, we'll cross our fingers this place is available again.

Wonderful place to stay!

Paola was a great host! We had a nice welcome and she gave us the information to need for our stay in the cottage. The cottage was beautiful! The photos are true, everything is exactly the same!!! In the first evening was the water cold, Paola was very active to get it working and one day later was everything ok! For the rest of our 4 night stay was everything great. We had to use whatever we want (pool, garden...). The cottage is close to Miami Beach (15-20min) the international Airport (15min) or Miami Downtown (15-20min). Also you have everything you need in the area of Biscayne Park...Supermarkets, Restaurants, drugstores.... @Paola: thanks so much for everything!!! Kind Regards Katharina & Christian

Dear Paola, we enjoy very much the time we spent at your cottage. Everything was exactly as you announced. It was cozy, clean and comfortable. Above all we liked to meet you and your family. Hope to see you again. Abraços, Jussara e Helcio.

Paola was very accommodating and flexible which made check in super easy! Upon arriving to the cottage it felt like entering paradise! The pool is absolutely beautiful and the room had everything we needed. Also, having a place to park for free made such a difference on our trip!

The cozy cottage was a great find. A rental car is needed but the location is a quick drive to beaches, museums, parks and restaurants. Paola is a wonderful host who provided ideas for a rare rainy weekend. The cottage is stocked with everything you can imagine - umbrellas, poncho, bug spray, sunscreen, snacks, beach chairs, beach umbrella, dishes, cups and silverware.

The mix of ideal, perfect and amazing, really. I feel lucky we came across Paola's cottage.

I wanted a calm spring break in Miami but away from the south beach hustle and noise. And Paola's cottage was the right place. Paola is a wonderful host. Upon arriving at the cottage, there were chocolates, organic fruits and refreshments waiting for us! The backyard of her house and the cottage was welcoming and clean. What a paradise! The cottage is stocked with absolutely everything you'll ever need and more. Spent first day lazing around the pool and tiki cabana with delicious Piccolo's pizza, and the next couple of days exploring North Miami via Paola's recommendations. Oh and if you are craving ice cream, definitely make a stop for Nitrogen Ice Cream!

Amazing apartment, location and especially hosts. We got this place SUPER last minute and the hosts were incredibly accommodating and lovely. We only could stay one night but can't wait to come again. Thanks for everything!

Great hosts to a beautiful beach front condo! All the instructions, directions or anything you need to know or need Shane and his wife will provide immediately or within minutes. Overall really clean place, pretty centralized in Miami beach. And a spectacular view. Definitely recommendable

Very clean and had everything we needed on our trip. Nice to wake up in the morning and see the sunrise with the ocean front view! We'll be back.

from start to finish, everything was perfect. when i come back to miami, i will definitely check if shane and maru have a free apartment.

A cute little space! They do a great job at making you feel at home and helping with anything they can! Awesome beach access and fast valet!

Shane was a super host, always available! Fantastic view, 1 min walk to the beach, pool, gym and a efficient valet parking. We were three person and we had some relaxing and wonderful days at Shanes place! Best / Karl

Fantastic view, really clean, the apartment has multiple amenities like beach chairs, beach towels and umbrella.

The room was exactly as advertised: chic, well-appointed, and right on the beach. Shane and Maru were incredibly responsive and gracious hosts. This was my first experience with airbnb and Shane and Maru set the bar high.

Christian's apartment is at best place to play at the miami beach! You can arrive at the beach for 2min to get the fantastic view. If you go to miami beach, he give us some beach chair, parasol, beach ball for free. Christian is so kind and give us a good advise for the miami sightseeing. (And he is a fan of Boca Juniors!) If you stay here, I recommend to rent a car, because if you don't have it, It's hard to move to miami. If you have it, you can see the whole of miami. have a good trip!

I had a wonderful experience. The apartment was cozy & in a great location! Christian, the host, was a very nice guy. Had a wonderful time chatting with him. I will be recommending his place to friends & will try to come back myself.

Really good location. Jus about 10 mins drive from the South Beach. Beach equipment provided as well.

we had a great time in Chris's place, it is perfectly located you just cross the street and Miami beach is yours. All equipment for a perfect day at the beach is included in the place. Chris is a really nice host and really helpful we highly recommend his appartement

Wonderful house, very neat and clean.. Christian was very helpful, I wish I could have stayed for more days.. His apartment has everything that you need for a comfortable stay, and beach.. Volleyball, sunblocks, beach umbrella, beach towels, surfing board, bathing gowns, frisbee, everything that you might need for a wonderful beach experience and beach is actually just there, just get down and across the street is the beach.. Great stay, highly recommended

We had a very good time at Christian's appartment. Although we did not meet him in person everything was well organized and we always got an immediate answer to our mails. The appartment is nice, clean, well equiped and very close to the wonderful beach. All in all absolutely recomendable!

Great host, apartment, and location. Simple check-in and check out.

Great little apartment in a perfect location. Close to bus stops and lots of convenient stores and restaurants. Beach literally a 2 minute walk away. Christian was a fantastic and accomodating host! Would definitely recommend.

The listing was exactly as advertised and pictured - clean, light and quiet. The hosts kept in touch to make sure everything was ok and that we were satisfied. We would recommend this spot to anyone.

The place was exactly (I dare to say even better) as it was described. Everything was great during our whole stay, Fer is the perfect host, he make sure we had everything we need in order to make our time in Miami the best. Highly recommended!! Thanks for everything!

The apartment was lovely and very convenient to attractions in Coral Gables. Ana & Get were easy to communicate with and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. A great experience.

Ana and Fernando's place was great! It was exactly as pictured, very clean and nice. Would not hesitate to stay here again!

Great neighborhood location and place was just as listed. Could not have asked for a better place to stay while in Miami. Liked also that the location was close to the University. Owner of place very welcoming.

The place is at another address than the one you get here, which was a little confusing for us since we never received a message with the actual instructions before we arrived. But after we called they were quick to respond and everything was sorted. The place was just as described. A lot of privacy, clean, nice apartment.

Great place to stay, the best BnB I've stayed in so far. Love the decor, the shower, and of course the big tv! Close to everything. I would recommend to anyone!

I loved staying at Ana and Fer's guest suite! I stayed there to get away and have a few solo vacation days, and it was perfect.. in such a beautiful neighborhood, and I love how I was able to borrow the bike to bike around. The bed was so comfortable, and the studio was clean. I had a great stay there. They were both really helpful with information on where to go, what to see, and where to eat. Thanks Ana and Fer!

I had a very amazing stay here. Pictures lived up to the hype, location was great.

Great place great location

I had a wonderful time staying at Arian's studio on South Beach. The fact that he was a great host made my experience in Miami and even better one. His suggestions as to where to go and what to do in the neighborhood were top-notch, in fact I found so many good places based on his reviews that I can't wait to get back just to enjoy them all over again. What an amazing time I had, and what a great host thank you so much!

Arian was a very welcoming host and his place is probably one of the best value on the market. The beach is literally two blocks away, yet the studio is ideally located for you to avoid the traffic entering South Beach. If you are looking for a well furnished place to drop you lugguages and sleep, Arian's place is all you need!

Great experience! Arian is awesome (and it's an euphemisme)! Location is couldn't be better and the appartment is cute and full equiped.

Arian is a great host. He has prepared everything we asked, especially the parking permit. He give us a detailed description on south beach and nearby on the first day. Whenever you need help, just feel free to ask Arian. The apt is tidy and spacious for two people. It locates only two blocks (5 mins walk) away from south beach. I strongly recommend this apt for tow people.

Very cute apartment in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Arian was very helpful and responsive!

The apartment was beautiful. Exactly as described and so clean. Arian was so quick to respond and so helpful. The apartment was close to everything and we were able to walk everywhere. The beach is GORGEOUS. Would definitely come back!

Don't even doubt booking this flat! It is one of the best airbnb experiences I ever had: everything is like on the pictures, even better, everything is modern and new, it is clean, cozy, comfortable, calm. You have free valet parking! You have best view, with pelicans flying by in your window, pool, beach, small shop, tennis court, fitness room, laundry, bar and restaurant, Russian and turkish saunas - all in one building! Flat has everything you could think of from iHome charging station and telephone to tennis rackets, balls, beach chairs, umbrella, masks, etc. espresso machine! Kettle! Tea, coffee, bottled water and not only! Thanks a lot! Actually don't want to move! Will return for sure!

Shane and Maru are the best hosts ever. Their condo is absolutely amazing and beautiful! It has everything you need and more. By far this is the best place I have ever stayed!

Very good communication with hosts, easy checking in and out and all over beautiful apartment. Thank you so much!

We had a wonderful time staying at Shane and Maru's place! The room was even better than the pictures and we had a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean every day. It's seriously a gift to watch the sunrise when you wake up in the morning! Shane and Maru had a list of restaurants that they recommended in the area if you are not familiar with Miami Beach. We definitely recommend staying with Shane and Maru and we will definitely stay with them again for our next vacation to Miami Beach!

The host was awesome and readily available (although I didn't have any issues). The rental was as described & the view is AMAZING!!!

Our host was short of amazing, he was very organized and had everything planned out for us which made check in and going around town very convenient. Best communication I've ever had with any host. Felt like I had Vip treatment from a Ritz Carlton.

Staying at Pure Miami Beach was perfect. The apartment is exactly as pictured--gorgeous and scenic with an uninterrupted view of the ocean. The space was clean and well kept, and easy to access. Shane and Maru were totally helpful and available for any questions I had. Can't wait to go back.

The listing was exactly as described. Great place to stay on South Beach. It was clean, quiet and we had everything we needed to feel at home. They even left us some water, soda and beer as a gift; which is a nice touch when you come into a room after a long day of traveling. The hosts were also very good at providing useful information in regards to everything we needed. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

Awesome place to stay at. It's been the best so far. Towels, sheets, soap, wifi, tv. Everything you need. And you have a private entrance. No need to stay at a hotel.

This was probably one of the best places I've stayed while using this app. It was almost apartment like only on our side of the house. You have your own space and it's as if you have the entire home to yourself. Great location and very quiet. Thank you so much! :)

I had an unexpected layover overnight at FLL. Gaylia's place is in between the airport and the beach which was perfect for my short stay. It was clean, with A/C, television, and a hot shower. I didn't need to cook but could have if needed, she left a guide book with plenty of suggestions on local restaurants and shops. I booked the space on super short notice and Gaylia was not able to accommodate me but also agreed to hold the booking for me for 30minutes while I was weighing my options. Thank you so much!

Very private, seperate entrance to the house, nice and clean.. Has a very diverse hospitality, for a small family , business travelers, vacationers or pleasure. Certainly lived up to its name

Nice room with a lot of space. Cozy and in a great neighbourhood.

Gaylia and his family were very friendly, the room was better than we thought, very clean, tidy, very spacious and private space, we want to return very soon.

Called Gaylia to tell her the approximate time of my arrival. I arrived and met her husband and two children. I didn't need much information as I am a local. But a list of instruction were posted on the refrigerator for everything I needed. The perfect little place.

Comfortable place with your private access. I enjoyed staying with Gaylia

On the day of arrival the hot water stop working and Patrick was quick to respond and the issue was fixed the next day. The apartment was very cozy, my partner and I had a great stay.

Patrick was extremely helpful and attentive to our needs. He does a great job informing you with precise instructions. We only saw him once during our stay for two minutes while he restocked the home with some essentials. We went ahead and added some cooking products to the cabinet just incase future guests needed something that we figured could come in handy. I don't really know what else to write because other guests pretty much have reviewed and it gets redundant after a while. But I would recommend to stay here and I would absolutely stay here again if I'm in the area. (We are from NYC)!

Marion is a wonderful and special person always ready to help whatever you need, she is an excellent host. It was the best airbnb experience I ever had. Marion's house is very nice. The backyard is kind of little paradise with the pool. It is like being at home. There is anything you can need nearby. The neighborhood is quiet. I absolutely recommend Marion's Paradise, I really loved my stay and I definitely can't wait to come back again.

Good

We were so fortunate to have the studio for Valentine's Day. Super romantic and cozy spot, the garden and pool were amazing with sunset view. Very nice antic wood bedroom set, AC and walking closet very good as well. The place is walking distance to CVS, 7/11, PapaJones and a sandwich place. Far down Shell gas station and a Mexican place that looks very good. The Host was magnificent and attentive. 100% recommended.

Marion was a lovely host. She was very accommodating and always asked if there was anything I needed. Very clean and spotless. The bed was SOOO comfortable! I recommend staying with Marion. I can't wait to go back.

Marion was the best host I have had in my experience with Air bnb. She has a great location, and she will make your stay exceed all expectations. She always made sure we had cold waters, and everything else we needed. She also has a very cute dog named Nelly! Overall, a terrific experience, and I would definitely stay with her again if I come to Hollywood again. Thank you Marion!

Marions place was perfect for what we needed before our flight home. It was clean and Marion was very nice!

When we decided to go to the US on vacation we were in doubt whether we would stay in a hotel or use Airbnb. So we opted for the second one because we could exchange some experiences with the local people and when we stayed at Marion this was proven and exceeded our expectations. The house of Marion is very well located with facilities of the highways and close to excellent commerce and restaurants. The neighborhood is friendly and quiet-safe. Your house is nice and well maintained and clean owning a leisure area with beautiful backyard with flowers and swimming pool. The room we stayed in has a private bathroom, separate entrance, comfortable bed, closet and TV, refrigerator, coffee maker and quite suitable for a morning coffee. The person from Marion is fantastic, made us feel at ease and always available for any need and was conquering us with much affection and so made our tour very special because we felt her good energy and we won a great friend. We are very grateful to HER FOR EVERYTHING THAT PROVIDED us a delicious lunch and a trip to the Casino and Hard Rock. Her little dog Nerly also conquered us and so we said goodbye with a lot of memory and a sense of happiness for the moments in which we stayed in her house. Marion, We Love you so much !!! Thank you. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Hollywood - Fl

Marion's place was great for me. She communicated very well & is very nice. The room has a private entrance from the outside so you don't have to go through her home. TV, cable and wireless internet were great. Attached bathroom. Mini fridge in the room. Nothing fancy, but comfortable and private. I have already booked the room again for another trip.

Ernesto was an excellent host, very diligent and always available to solve any inconvenience. The house was very clean and location is great, it a peaceful neighborhood in the middle of Florida and it's 10 min away from FLL Airport.

great host

It was really a great place to stay. Ernesto is a great person and can be contacted easily. Place is near to Hallandale beach. Place is very calm and spacious. Great price for the awesome location. Plenty of backyard, parking space, dining space.

Really great host! I'd stay here again!

The host canceled this reservation 28 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Margarita was a wonderful host and her place is both clean and cozy. The neighborhood is wonderful. One block from the beach. It's a great place. Thank you for having us.

Margarita's place was beautiful and comfortable. Also incredibly close location for going to the beach!

Lovely place to stay!

Great hostess...very prompt and her home is spotless! Perfect place if you just need a place to sleep and shower!

It's a nice clean place right across the beach and near to everything. Margarita was a great host, thank you very much!

Margarita is an absolutely wonderful host! The apartment is not only beautifully designed but incredibly clean and has nothing but positive vibes!!

Margarita fue muy amable conmigo! Todo perfecto, la habitación muy cómoda. Muy buena anfitriona !! Gracias por todo. Hasta l próxima !

It was a short stay, but the place was awesome and and the price was unbeatable. Thad is a great guy aswel. The place looks exactly as the pictures; warm, cozy, very modern, confy bed, and spotless!! The place has everything you need, great location, parking, not too far from the beach, young circle, and restaurants. I would definitely recommend this place!!

Great place to come kick your feet back and unwind!!! Thad and Eduardo are extremely helpful, the studio is clean and has a comfortable bed. The off street parking is a plus. Do yourself a favor and book this place...we will be back.

Thad's apartment was great. Attention to detail I don't find at every airbnb. Nice king size bed, equipped kitchen. Worked well for me, good off street parking, gated courtyard entry, walking to the Hollywood circle in less than 10 Min, the Publix, restaurants, and about 10-15 min by bicycle to the beach. Thad always available, for any questions, good washer and dryer on premise- and the place is kept up, very clean.

This was our first AirBNB experience. Space was clean and welcoming. Thad was pleasant. All others will have this high standard to meet!

Wonderful place and great people!

This property was exactly as advertized. A nice room, comfortable room in a quiet location with a very well appointed kitchen. Communication was outstanding, the location was convenient to my needs - I was in town for a wedding, but its only a 10 minute drive down to the beach. Near a supermarket. The kitchen had everything you need to make yourself breakfast or prepare any meal for that matter. There is parking, working ceiling fan and AC, Cable TV, good wifi.... I could go on, but as I said, its exactly as advertised, just read the description and if it reads like its what you need, don't hesitate.

House very much. Clean on top. The owner (Thad) are very friendly and sociable did everything to make our stay comfortable. The yard is buried to outsiders. In the courtyard there is a hammock and a barbecue, which we often used. I am pleased to recommend this accommodation. The only beach-far, but we went to the car, so it was not a problem for us.

We were very well received and gave us a lot of information, very good location and a very cozy residence.

It was a nice stay! The room was as described. Perfect for a short getaway :)

Matthew is a superb host! Clean lovey home!

hate to say this, but place was great - I would like to hide this from the rest of the Airbnb community, so it will be available whenever i need it ;) It is new and private. - there was a , small fridge and microwave . Easy parking The shower was nice and clean - perfect for every day traveler beach area is not soo close you need to drive to Hollywood beach The pictures accurately reflect the listing. I would definitely stay here again.Thank You MATTHEW

This was a cool spot. We felt that we had privacy, but it was also an easy and scenic one-mile route to the boardwalk and beach. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, and there were even more amenities provided than listed.

Easy stay and comfortable lodging. Everything you need right there.

This room is at a central location to get to the Hollywood beach or to Hollywood city. It takes about 9 minutes on bikes (which he provided) to either one you choose. The room was just remodeled and is very modern and clean. Matt had great communication with us the whole time we stayed. I think the only thing this place needed was to just be buttoned up the remodel to make it fully worth the price. We would definitely stay again!

A wonderful place to stay close to the beach. Matthew was a great host and was always quick to respond. The beach cruisers are a huge plus!!!

This place is nice for a short trip and if you're not planning on spending too much in it. Matthew was a great host and kept the lines of communication opened and checked on us throughout our stay.

Thanks for telling me in Robin. Cute place to stay and she was very accommodating with leaving the keys for me. Easy access to house and got everything I needed for that time. Thank you Robin for caring about the place.

Robin was to hand us the keys, she contacted us and we responded quickly to all our questions. The housing is fully compliant to the photos and description. At first we thought it was small (especially the bathroom) but finally it was done well has the cozy space, a small patio where we had a BBQ (kitchenware minimized). The bikes are a bonus (paid parking at the beach). The neighborhood is very quiet, you can park next to the wifi is weak but at least it exists. Hollywood Beach is a small, friendly town and for us a good price for a base to visit Miami and its surroundings.

IT was a more than lovely experience, Robin was very welcoming and we enjoyed her cottage a lot. We will definitely go there again. I recommend this as it has a great location and everything is pretty close.

Robin fit me in at literally the last minute so i was very grateful for that, and she was a gracious and helpful hostess. the surrounding neighborhood is really nice and very pleasant, great for walking around, especially at night - head east towards the water to see some really lovely homes. as for the space i would just point out that while comfortable it is very small - i would agree with a previous commenter that it is better for a short stay, for those on a budget. the shower head is barely five feet off the ground, which was just strange. but, open the door to the garden in the morning and it feels more expansive. a pleasant stay really, all in all.

Robin was great and we loved staying in the cottage! My husband and I were staying in town for a couple of nights after our honeymoon cruise. It was quiet and private and a super relaxing stay after being on a busy ship all week. It took us ten minutes to walk to great food and groceries, and fifteen to bike over to Hollywood Beach. Robin was awesome about answering questions and gave us a good tip on food (Taco Beach Shack). We will be back!

Great cabin, close to everything. Robin was great with the welcoming and directions if i needed anything in the area. cabin itself is clean and cozy. The bikes are a great addition.

Felt welcomed. Good value. Would recommend. :)

I booked this cottage at the very last minute, so I was delighted at Robins quick response. She was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. The cottage was exactly what we expected with the added bonus a big walkin closet for all our luggage. Very quiet residential area.

Best place you could ever stay ,very safe and clean,it feels like home...

Lulu is an super host, so friendly we felt lika home. Our room was perfect with a fridge and a microwave and we had an own bathroom. A perfect stay for enjoying the beach wich is not far. totally recommend. Thank you for everything lulu

Lulu and Michel were very kind, helpful and thoughtful hosts. We could make a very close friendship with them. We are so grateful for the destiny, that we could spend our holiday in their home. We hope that they will have a lot of guest in the future. The house is beautiful and spotless, and there are everything for a grill party or for a diving in the pool. The area is top safe and really quiet. The downtown, the seaside, and all important thing are very close. The room and the whole house is well equipped. Thank you for Lulu and Michel that we were able to spend our holiday in your house. Highly recommend it.

Louise was excellent and very friendly, she makes you feel welcomed, I will be definitive be back. The room and bathroom are very clean and comfortable.

Lou lou was a great host. A beautiful house and very clean. Good location near the beach and the young circle. She was always helping us and Peanut the dog is so nice!!! For sure we will be back! Thanks lou lou, michel and Peanut

I was not aware that the bathroom would be shared with other tenants with the room next door when I originally made this booking. Also there are tenants upstairs too as this is a small little house and too many people in it. As Louis and her husband are living there as well as sometimes there little granddaughter comes in and she has friends over to play cards which is fine. Big issue is there is no parking and Louis told me to park on the grass. Next, I would like to point out that the bed is broken as you can notice that the middle is higher then both of the sides. The laundry has been broken for the last two weeks and Louis said the part from Sears to fix it would come in in two weeks. Also Louis comes into your room everyday and opens your windows. The place is dirty and their was a roach In the bathroom and a roach in the kitchen. Big problem is with the air conditioning, when it was hot and 78 degrees inside and I turned the air conditioning down one degree they got upset and the following day they took out the batteries from the thermostat so I couldn’t change it. Louis is a nice lady but I am entitled to some standard of living when paying and the standard of living was worse than a hostel. On the day of moving out when I went out quickly to run the errands before moving out in the morning Louis through all my stuff including 7 pairs of $700 a piece shoes like her rubbish. Not to mention the white pumas that she destroyed when doing my laundry and using bleach on them so the shoes have spots all over them and are thrown out. I took photos and made videos to show proof of this of all these events. I did not want to create a situation earlier because this is a peak season and their were no options available at the time to find another place. Would be nice to get all my money back.

Louise was the most amazing host I have had yet. Her place is immaculate!!!! The room is comfortable and She has all the amenities you could possibly want. Louise is great because she throws in her own personal touch to the stay. She was welcoming and supper friendly an easy person to talk to. I would definitely stay here again and would suggest staying here to anyone who is interest. We had such a wonderful stay!!!!

Louise welcomed us with open heart. She is very loving, kind and made us feel like we are part of her family. Place was clean; neighborhood very safe. Highly recommend it. Will stay at her place in near future again.
