South Beach Place - Vero Beach

This certainly is not a "boutique" hotel by any means. Office is open from 9 to 5. We came home from dinner and had to try to find our way from the parking space along a poorly lit path to our room. Np tv in the bedrom, a noisy window AC unit. The picture I attach of the bathtub gives you just a taste of this horror show place.

We booked a room on the second floor several months in advance. We received an email confirmation a few days before our trip, and we noticed that we’d been moved to a different room on the first floor. We asked if we could be moved to any room on the second floor, and we were told that nothing was available. We stayed almost a week and, for most of our stay, the motel was almost empty. It only filled-up on the weekend. It was very confusing and frustrating. The floors needed to be mopped. (Our feet/socks got dirty as we walked around.) Other than that, the room seemed very clean. The décor is wonderful and fun. The motel policy states that quiet hours begin at 10pm nightly. However, a group sat around the pool playing music and talking loudly until after midnight one night. Normally, we wouldn’t have minded too much, but we had to catch an early flight the next day. We stopped by the front office twice (during business hours) to ask a question, but no one was there, and the door was locked. In-room information stated that the property was purchased by an investor from Tennessee in March 2023. Maybe the place is starting to go downhill. It felt like none of the employees/management really cared, and no one was on-site much of the time.

This is the second year that we made a snowbird trip from Pennsylvania down to Vero Beach Florida and returned to South Beach Place to stay. Last year we stayed for 6 weeks and this year increased our stay to two months! We are extremely pleased with the accommodation and amenities. 18 room boutique hotel with two stories facing the outdoor heated pool a short five minute walk to the beach. Each room has a quirky vintage style with a living room, kitchenette and bathroom. The day management ((Nikki & Stephanie) are super friendly and helpful and the cleaning staff were the best. Each week we would have our unit cleaned and were surprised with some cute towel art decorating the bed. Need clean towels, just leave them outside your room and they are replace right away. Restaurants are within walking distance and the downtown area a short drive away. Next year it will be under new management and we’re told there will be a few updates but nothing drastic to take away the unique flavor of the place. I don’t want to rave too much about the place as it is already hard to get a reservation!! Thanks South Beach, we had a great stay!
