6/10
We recently stayed at âThe Miamiâ and enjoyed the quirky, well-equipped space, especially the private deck and arcade machines. The location near the beach and dunes is beautiful, and the property has a lot of unique amenities. That said, there are a few important details that future guests, especially pet owners should know ahead of time.First, this is not a standalone house. Itâs the top-floor apartment of a three-unit building. Access is via a shared stairwell, and a live-in caretaker resides on the bottom floor. Some of the amenities described â like bikes, kayaks, beach wagons, and the soda machine â are shared with the other units, which wasnât entirely clear in the listing. Thatâs fine if youâre expecting it, but worth knowing in advance.We booked this rental in part because it was listed as dog-friendly, but the reality didnât align well:Thereâs no grassy area for dogs to relieve themselves.The sand can reach very high temperatures (over 100F), which isnât safe for paws.The yard contains cactus and poison ivy, and there were LOTS of ticks.During a required phone call, the host let us know that dogs arenât allowed on the beach, and to take an umbrella to hide them. We were also told that if our dog might bark at all, we needed to take them with us at all times, which is not very practical.This property has some standout features and could be a great fit for couples or small groups without pets.
