richbum Posted August 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Can anyone recommend a decent Air B&B close to the Miami port? There are 14 of us going, so we would prefer not to do a bunch of expensive hotel rooms.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinfool Posted August 15, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Split up into family groups, rent several places. You will be hard pressed to find one or two places that will accomodate that many people. Use 'Superhosts'....less chance of problems. Read and follow all of the AirBNB guidelines and rules...again, less chance of problems. Have the various groups learn how to use Uber or Lyft for transportation. Shuttle vans are ok, but will cost more and arranging timely pickups may present problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted August 16, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Be very careful with airbnbs that are in high rises here in Miami as most building do not allow them and they are considered "illegal rentals". My building will turn off the fobs and not allow access. Fortune House is one place you may want to look at in Brickell. It's a hotel/condo building that has good reviews and I know someone who rents there and likes it. Not sure how big the units are though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To elaborate on Carolyn's excellent advice...when you purchase a condo in South Florida many (if not most) make you sign an acknowledgement of having read and understood the condo rules. Some buildings, like Carolyn's, can get very aggressive enforcing them. A very common rule is that rentals are only allowed once a year and for a minimum of 3 months. You don't want to arrive and find you are locked out of your building or, maybe worse yet, get thrown out after you arrive! Be especially careful if it is a new listing or has few/no reviews.

teknoge3k Posted August 18, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 18, 2019 The Airbnb we stay at in Miami, is not exactly at the port. It's in Miami Beach next to Lincoln Road Mall. The guy owns several units in an apartment complex and we rent from him, then Uber to the port. With over a hundred Airbnb stays under my belt including many in south Florida, never had an issue. We always use a host with lots of good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is in an apartment building, he doesn't own several units. I caught a poster on this forum illegally renting a unit in one of my friends apartment buildings. You are better off not renting an AirBnB in South Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corby114 Posted August 24, 2019 #8 Share Posted August 24, 2019 My condo in Hallandale Beach recently passed an amendment to their bylaws that stated any new owners had to wait for at least one year before they can rent out their unit. Didn’t notice anything regarding a minimum stay but I guess that will be happening pretty soon. It took the Board Of Directors years to find a decent roofing company to make repairs to our building. The first three companies they hired did poor work and made the situation worse than when it started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
