Sorry for the prior bad reviews... Perhaps it was the particular building? I had a great stay. Location was good, gated parking, mini grocery and liquor store inside of the complex. The rooms were nice and spacious (best to get a room on a higher floor). Clean and not crowded hot tubs and pool. You do your own cleaning. has... More

This place does a great job of marketing itself as the ideal place to live in south beach. Great looking amenities, friendly sales staff, amazing views. Do not be fooled. The place is filthy. There is dog feces everywhere and the place is plagued with fleas. If you have a dog they will be infected within a few days and... More

First, the whole time there, they never fixed the washer/dryer! It never worked not even one day. All appliances were so old and even had rust on them, they never changed them out. Black mold came in from the vent. After living there three years they charged me 128.00 to repaint the walls, IT WAS WHITE like when I moved... More

If you stayed at Flamingo for less than a month, what you did is illegal.. Both City of Miami Beach and Flamingo Condo Association prohibit less than a month's leases on this property. I'm an owner there (can't afford to live in my home any more..) and also had a case where my "one year tenant" turned out to sublease... More

We stayed in the south tower of this hotel/condo complex which is privately owned and I get the feeling the owners shouldn't really be renting their apartments out. We booked through a company called Feel Miami who asked for a deposit but this turned out to be their introduction fee to the owner. They also referred to the apartments as... More

My family (6 adults and a baby) and I have just returned from a week at this apartment complex and have to say it was ideal. Even though there were 6 adults,our apartment was spacious, the two bathrooms make things easier and having spent previous vacations staying at hotels at South Beach, with their tiny bedrooms - this apartment was...

My business partner stayed at the Flamingo a few months ago and and said that the facilities were outstanding, but the apartment he stayed in was a little basic. After consulting with TA, I noted that a traveler raved about apartment 1058S in the south tower so I googled it and found a good deal for $3,000 for 30 days... More

I am so glad I didn't listen to the negative reviews of this place. This truly is an amazing property. Where else are you going to be able to have waterfront bay views with so many amazing amenities, located in the heart of South Beach for such a great price? Over 16 acres, very well landscaped, there's plenty of places... More

The first thing that all bonafide vacationers need to know is: THE FLAMINGO TOWERS ARE NOT AND NEVER HAVE BEEN A HOTEL. It is a shame that this fact has not been made public and vacationers are being swindled by websites like Simple Miami Management into short vacation rentals that are illegal. In order to gain access to the property,... More
