AMAZING!!
I loved coming home here. It was just the best feeling ever. Waiting for the elevator took some time though. I wish we attempted to take the stairs. 22 flights would have been an experience. Loved the balcony. If you need a dope area for photo and/or photoshoots, up there at midday is the spot. The master bedroom is amazing. Bed is comfortable and the windows are ceiling high. Waking up to this Miami sun was the best thing ever!

Weekend wedding in the Grove
We really enjoyed the property. It was just as described. The only issue had to do with the driveway to the building. There was always a lot of traffic and we got blocked in at one point and they couldn’t find the driver of the vehicle that was blocking.

Bright, Colorful, Jewel Box in Coconut Grove!
We recently spent 7 nights over Christmas vacation in this rental. We loved it for the following reasons: (1) the decor is lively and fun, (2) the location is convenient for restaurants and shops (and our regatta), (3) the layout is perfect for a family of four (the 2.5 bathrooms were really nice with teenagers), (4) the view from the upper level deck is spectacular, (5) Lorelei is organized and communicated well. The only possible negative is that the property has changed hands from the Sonesta to the Hotel Aria (Best Western). There were only two functioning guest elevators (for a 22 story building) for our entire stay. When we mentioned this to the front desk, there seemed to be absolutely no urgency to get it fixed. My guess is that the property has gone a little down-market. There is nothing that the owner of the property can do about this situation. All this being said, I would rent this condo again in a minute! We loved it.

Gorgeous! Amazing Location!
Absolutely amazing! The views, the rooms all of it! I love it! Great walking distance to lots of restaurants, bars, and great shopping! The hotel itself was just beautiful and the staff was super nice! I’m only giving it 4 stars because the plumbing was a little weak. The condo itself is a little dated but in a good way! It’s super cute.

Breathtaking Views!! Lovely Penthouse in Prime Location!
Luxury penthouse in prime location of Coconut Grove. We were in town moving our daughter to the University of Miami...was perfect for our family! The views were amazing and the penthouse was pristine, spacious and very quiet. Exceptional service from the host and staff at Sonesta. Parking is wonderful and provides easy access to the apartment. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back!!

Perfection!
If you are looking for a beautiful space with gorgeous multi-directional views, and has a great location; this is the property for you! Firstly, the host provided all the information we needed prior to our stay and check-in was a breeze. The unit itself is decorated beautifully, clean, and extremely spacious. All the beds were comfortable and there was not one thing that we needed that was not provided (linens, towels, kitchen items, etc.). The host was just a phone call way, even though there were no issues that we had to contact them for. Second, the views from the balcony and the rooftop terrace are really just stunning. The unit is on the corner, so you get bay views as well as city views! The pool is located on the 8th floor, so the views were great. The pool was large and there was plenty of room to relax and sunbathe. The staff was also very accommodating. Lastly, the unit is located right in the middle of Coconut Grove and there are lots of restaurants and shopping in walking distance. The restaurants in the area are a little pricey, but that common for the area. My family and I had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again in the future.

An amazing oasis in the heart of Coconut Grove.
PH5 was a perfect fit for our family. The apartment was spacious for our three teenage girls while still giving my husband and me plenty of room. The views and deck were spectacular and the pool on the 8th floor was a wonderful reprieve from the hustle and bustle below. The property is within walking distance to plenty of restaurants and shops. We will definitely return! Lorelei was fantastic and responded to any questions within moments.

Expensive noise, inattentive management
Decor ok, but in a penthouse peace and quiet is what you look for. The ac unit in the master bedroom sounded like a jet engine and there was nonstop three day drilling next door that did not allow peace. When I complained I was offered a discount on a future stay that will never come to pass. Why pay again to be disregarded and inconvenienced?

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar 2020
We were not aware of A/C in master bedroom was making noise as we could have addressed and had it resolved. This is a condo-hotel which has private residences. The drilling noise was coming from a private residence, and not the common area of the building. When it is a private residence, we are not advised ahead of time of work going on within a private residence. We had no idea this was scheduled to happen. Such as weather conditions, this was something that was out of our control. We were not able to have the work stopped. The building has set working times of M-F from 9am-4pm and never on weekends or holidays, which is typically when people are out and about in the city.

Best Place in the Grove
You cannot go wrong here with the beautiful decor, two parking spaces, ample baths, gorgeous views, and two levels of decks. We were extremely happy with everything. Lorelei was wonderful with every detail! Just a note though...need more spoons and washcloths for six people. I hate even mentioning that as it seems to blemish my need to write a stellar review. Bottom line, we loved it and would absolutely return. Best place in the Grove!

Fabulous view in the heart of Coconut Grove
Great condo for a family or two couples. Easy walking access to the best of Coconut Grove. Hotel amenities like the pool are a huge plus. Fabulous new restaurant in a family friendly park has just opened across the street. Our family of 5 was very comfortable. Definitely can recommend this property.

Lovely, charming home
My two teenage children and I just stayed for an extended weekend. The penthouse is a charming space, decorated with playful colors and creativity. The layout of the space if wonderful. The glass doors separating the twin bedroom from the living room allow in more light and views and then the sliding shades are great separators at night. Daniela has given the space a decorators touch and Lorelei is incredibly responsive. The house WiFi was a great help. I read in another review that Sonesta's wifi kept taking over but if you are on apple products you can make the apartment WiFi a priority so it stopped happening to us. I loved that there was a speaker system to wirelessly hook up music while I was there. Every home rental should have one of those today. I had two small issues while there and Lorelei responded immediately and took care of them for us. She was incredibly responsive which I think is huge in a home away rental. The only recommendation I would make is the kitchen dishes/utensils/pots&pans are getting some wear and tear and could be replaced soon. If you plan on doing a lot of cooking it's a little hard but for quick breakfasts and lunches it's totally fine.

Perfectly Pleasing
This modern well situated condo offers a perfectly pleasing view of Cocoanut Grove. It is well appointed and is managed with care and concern for the guests. The accommodations are comfortable, attractive and it is a wonderful place to spend time in. I would love to be able to enjoy its comforts again.

Beautifully Decorated, Great Location!
I've been going to Coconut Grove three times a year for the last five years and this was the best place we've stayed. If you like colours you will feel so happy the minute you walk through the door of this tastefully decorated, clean unit. I hope to stay here every regatta from now on. Checking in and out was easy, the free parking spots a bonus. The water pressure in the shower leaves a little to be desired but I think that's a Grove thing as I've never once had a great shower regardless of where I've stayed. I was a little sick the first night so we stayed in so the only thing I would suggest is some labelling on the remote controls but that's because I can never figure those things out. Doing my morning yoga facing the sunrise over the ocean then having a sunset cocktail outside on the massive rooftop deck was a real treat. Definitely a great place to stay if you want to be in the heart of Coconut Grove with a view of the water

Perfect stay!
The condo is impeccable. The service, privacy and amenities in the property deserve 5 stars. I stayed there in January and already tried to reserve another stay, unfortunately it was booked for my dates. I will always try to stay there for the easiness of the rental experience, the condition and decoration and the location. Best rental in Miami!

Beautiful view and location in Coconut Grove
We loved staying at this beautiful property! Some friend and I were in town for a wedding and the location was perfect. This was the first time any of us had the opportunity to stay in a penthouse-- and we loved every second of it! The condo is beautifully decorated and very clean. We appreciated the extra pillows and towels for our guests staying on the couch. The view was beautiful and we loved the close convenience of the 8th floor pool. The restaurant had amazing mojitos and ceviche. We really appreciated all the accommodations Daniela was able to give us, such as the check-in process and a late check-out. We had some other friends in town for the wedding staying at a nearby hotel, and its safe to say we had a much better experience. The hotel is within walking distance of fun restaurants (we loved Lulu's, Lokal, and Green Street Cafe) as well as shopping at Coco Walk (yay Starbucks!) and many bars (happy hour at Barracuda was great!) We would highly recommend staying here!
