Great place - close to the action without being right in the craziness of south beach. We liked taking walks down to the southern tip of Miami Beach near Smith & Wollensky’s - it’s a lot quieter there. We enjoyed brunch at the Local House two days in a row; our room was clean and spacious; and the rooftop pool was a nice getaway. I would stay here again.

Our favorites were the beach access , roof top pool, and the smell as you enter the lobby! We need to know how to get that scent! The location was also very quiet and walkable to several nearby restaurants. We were sad to leave.

We only stayed for one night before driving down to the keys for my birthday but we really enjoyed our stay at The Local House. All of the staff were incredibly kind and they even blew up balloons and decorated our room for my birthday. Considering how busy the area was, the rooms were incredibly quiet and the bed was super comfortable. The only complaint we would have is that the bathrooms are slightly outdated in comparison to the bedrooms but other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend The Local House to anyone looking to stay in South Beach.
