Dream Studio on the Beach

Location was good; apartment have all necessary staff , like kitchen supplies, umbrellas and towels for the beach ; cleaning is okey, instruction for everything , like info about flags at the beach , laundry instruction, etc. Good communication with owner. Good area, parking. Price is good , definitely worth it

Cockroaches and cigarets smell at the hall , and frezer wasn’t closing.

The location

The smell blanket, the late checkin time

Perfect location with direct access to the beach. There’s absolutely nothing to worry about, you can just get in your bathing trunks and relax all while staying in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of restaurants and stores within the next few blocks. I‘m sure staying in North Beach is much better than Downtown in South Beach where there’s partying all night (unless you want that of course). The best part is, you can enter the building with a key code, so you don’t even have to worry about where to hide your keys while on the beach.

As of June 2024 they’re redoing the street outside the building, so you have to take a little detour to get to the beach (literally just a few feet though). You might get a little noise from the construction site at day time, but who’s staying in the apartment anyway. Bottom line is, it will even be nicer once they’re finished.

good location, close to beach, parking, good restaurants. Feel secure all the time :)

This looked like a great place to stay, but ‘Dream Studio” turned into ‘Nightmare Studio.’ I was unable to get into the property and, despite multiple calls, emails, and texts over the course of the day and next morning, the hosts never responded. To be fair, the host had supposedly sent a door code before the trip; however, I was unable to find it. Scrambled to find a hotel that first night, and, after hearing nothing from the hosts the next day either, had to give up and found another hotel for the duration of what was supposed to be a relaxing stay. Never heard from them- until they finally answered the phone the day after I was supposed to check out- other than Booking.com letting me know the hosts refused to issue any kind of refund. Booking.com was eventually able to get a token refund of the cleaning fee, but that was it. I’ve booked rental properties before, and, yes, understandably, on occasion there are a few issues, but hosts have always been kind and responsive, and things have worked out in the end. Not this time. I can’t speak to the studio itself, as I never made it inside, but vacationers beware before you book! Kind of think the motto for this one to be, “I paid for a nice vacation rental, and all I got was the opportunity to write this very expensive review” 😲

Nice little apartment, good situation, all nearby. Good wifi.

The elevator does not work. The frying pan is missing. Some cockroaches.

Lovely apartment right on North Beach. Very clean with everything that we needed.
