You may not need a car at all: the beach is one block away, Ocean Drive's restaurants and bars are a short walk, and Brickell, Wynwood, and MiMo are 15 minutes by car. Your base is a fully remodeled 2BR/1BA condo in a storied 1935 Art Deco building. Two queen bedrooms and a sofa bed sleep six, the kitchen's fully equipped, and beach essentials are ready to grab and go.

Please note: 3rd-floor unit; elevator out of service. $100 refundable deposit or $25 non-refundable damage waiver.

The condo: two queen bedrooms, a sofa bed, and one full bathroom, comfortably sleeping six. A recent remodel made everything feel new.

The kitchen is fully equipped for real meals, with cookware, dishes, and everything for breakfast before the beach. A/C, fast Wi-Fi, and a TV for nights in.

Laundry: laundromat a short walk away.

Currently priced below comparable South Beach condos while the building's elevator is offline (3rd floor, stairs only).

Beach essentials are ready to grab and go, so you can head to the sand the moment you arrive.

The location

You're in the Art Deco Historic District, in the heart of South Beach:

The beach: one block away! Take the beach essentials and go
Ocean Drive, restaurants, and bars: a short walk from the door
Groceries and coffee: stores minutes away
Brickell, Wynwood, and MiMo: about 15 minutes by car

You're in the middle of it all! Many guests skip the rental car entirely and never miss it.

The building

The Empire is a 1935 Art Deco building and a genuine piece of the historic district. Expect authentic vintage character, not a glass tower. Entry is self check-in via keypad, and the building has a trash chute.

Stairs, and a rate to match: the building's elevator is temporarily out of service, so the unit is on the 3rd floor, stairs only. The nightly rate is reduced; that discount is the full compensation. If stairs don't work for your group, this isn't the right fit.
Smoke-free and pet-free: no smoking or vaping of any kind (a $500 fine applies), and no pets allowed. It keeps the place fresh, which allergy-sensitive guests love.
Ages: the primary guest must be 25 or older and stay for the whole trip, a house rule on every booking that keeps stays quiet and relaxed.
Parking: none on site (standard for South Beach), but a public lot is nearby and most guests skip the car entirely since the beach, restaurants, stores, and bars are within a few blocks.
Hurricane season runs June 1 - November 30 across South Florida. Travel insurance is recommended for trips in that window.
Deposit: a $100 refundable security deposit or a $25 non-refundable damage waiver applies to every stay. The lightest-touch protection option either way.

The elevator is out of service and access is by the interior stairway only (3rd floor). The reduced rate fully compensates for this. No refund or credit is due for the outage.
No pets or animals of any kind in the unit. Service animals are handled as the law requires. Please tell the Manager in advance.
Smoking or vaping of anything inside, on the balcony or terrace, or anywhere the association prohibits it carries a $500 fine, on top of any damage or association fines.
The primary guest must be 25 or older and stay for the entire booking. Only registered guests may stay overnight. No parties, events, filming or subletting.
Please report any problem, leak or damage within 24 hours.
Never sit or climb on balcony railings or windowsills. Pools and beaches are unsupervised, and the unit is not childproofed.
Lock the doors and windows when you go out. No on-site parking.
Hurricane season runs June 1 to Nov 30. Weather events are outside our control, and travel insurance is strongly encouraged.
