This private home is right next door to one of South Beach’s most-hyped hotels, the 1 Hotel. Guests who book here gain access to the hotel’s delicious pool and other lovely outdoor areas (although make sure to read the small print re: guest card options in advance so you’re all set up). The apartment itself is a sweet little home that’s been decorated in style that’s sure to feel cool on a very hot day. We love the very slightly Hawaiian feel of the bedroom.

Mood? The privacy of a home with the luxuries of a hotel.
