The location is unbeatable, the staff is super friendly/helpful ( despite wishing everyone mask - no one was)

Beth United States of America

I loved that the room was cleaned and it was not noisy and very cozy. Good food and drinks as well.

Tia United States of America

Great location and lovely boutique hotel. The staff was very friendly and the room was amazing and super clean! Food is also great!

Rania United States of America

The Local House is on Ocean Drive 2 blocks South of the tourist spectacle but close to everything! We searched for a small comfy place on the beach and for the value, location and excellence of the staff - the Local House just can’t be beat! The beautiful South beach is just across the street and the Ocean and 4th street area feels safer and quieter than the “strip” just 2 blocks North. A big bonus is the chic restaurant that serves yummy brunch every day and has cozy sofas right on the sidewalk under their awning. Just perfect! We will return!

Amy United States of America

I loved the location ! The restaurant below our condo was delicious! Everything about this location is what would make me want to come back to MIAMI !!

Ashley United States of America

The Local House is small, modern and 1 block from Miami Beach. Provides things like towels, beach chairs, bikes, etc! Very nice.

Barbara United States of America

The hotel is relatively small but extremely cozy and well decorated. The room and bathroom were very clean and the staff was always very helpful. The hotel provided complimentary towels, umbrellas and chairs for the beach as well as bikes for rides around Miami beach. The rooftop was very nice too! This hotel made our first visit to Miami extremely pleasant!

Joana United States of America

The room was clean. The area is quiet and not found at night time. The hotel's restaurant served excellent food.

Paphawarin United States of America

All staff was really friendly and accommodating. Was walking distance to everything we wanted to go within the area. The restaurant located within the hotel was really good too! I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

Kirsten United States of America

  • Is there a shuttle available to get to the closest beach nearby? What are the other transportation options?

    The beach is a walk across the street from our hotel, so a shuttle isn't necessary. If you would like to visit parts of the beach that are further down the coast, we would recommend an Uber or taxi. We also offer free bicycle rentals, included with your hotel stay.
