Hi Lisa, thanks for your feedback. Can you let me know what looks updated? We did a full remodel to a rustic/contemporary look. Maybe is just the style type rather than the items themself?

Such a good deal!!!!!
This studio apartment/room was just as it appeared in the vrbo materials. We were more than satisfied with our experience staying here during Art Week in Miami. We were out looking at art with friends most of the time, so this waterfront spot next to their home was perfect for us. The resort has many amenities that we were not really able to enjoy due to our schedule. However, we did use the gym and the gorgeous beach front path. Spectacular. Just happened to see the room rates for similar spaces in the hotel for the same dates; we were paying less than one third to stay in the same property. Gotta love that!

Great Location & Great Host
This is an excellent property and a well priced stay. It is simply a hotel room and as such has only a small sink, small fridge and a coffee maker. Great for short stays. The semi private elevator is so convenient! This property is great for dogs, has poop bags everywhere and cute little outside dog area. We had an issue during our stay (our fault) and Sharon was quick to respond easy to work with and very reasonable. While the lack of in-room amenities is probably not the type of property I would book again but The Ritz offers a lot of other outdoor and dining and drinks amenities.

Wonderful girls getaway
Our visit to Sharon’s rental was 5 stars all the way around. We could not have enjoyed it more. The room was very clean, with more than enough fresh towels for two people. (We did purchase a few necessities for ourselves, but the room had the basics as far as soap, shampoo, etc.) The check-in process was a breeze, and the staff and amenities at the property were absolutely perfect. The only incredibly minor thing I would change is the coffee maker - I prefer regular coffee to Nespresso but that’s just me. So I didn’t use it, but HINT - there was a complimentary beverage cart with coffee/tea in the main hallway of the property every morning. We loved it. Highly recommend!

Amazing Unit and Location!
The unit was perfect for a warm weekend getaway with my boyfriend. The property and staff were very friendly and helpful with restaurant recommendations. The unit had a beautiful balcony with bay views and was clean & stocked with water and snacks. Really appreciated the little details. Definitely will rent again! :)

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Nov 2021
Sheryl, you first comment to me was that you are a clean fanatic., that there was dust and roaches. I sent a team to clean the room immediately and you told me the team didn't clean the dead roach you had killed. When I asked for proof to complained with my cleaning service, you sent me a picture of a mini roach dead on a beige carpet when my carpet is blue. How a clean fanatic leaves a dead roach overnight on a carpet? Your whole story was inconsistent. I didn't fabricated any stories about the room. Same listing for the last 4 years and reviews to prove it. I had to ask you to check out 2 days before your actual date as your harassment of the hotel staff and myself where out of control. Hope you find some inner peace..

Really enjoyed Sharon’s unit and the Ritz property overall. Unit exactly as advertised. Would have stayed longer had it been available. Would definitely rent it again. Only negative comment: unit could use more lighting, particularly overhead and in the desk area.

As great as I expected it to be.
We have stayed at several Ritz Carlton’s but this was our first with an individual owner. We got to enjoy all the amenities as expected at a luxury hotel and had the bonus of the owner available for any questions or needs. The room was very clean. And the view is amazing, especially from the tub! What more could you ask for!!! We will definitely be back!

Perfect place to relax and recharge!
I went to get away from the crowds, to relax, to get some sun and enjoy the beach. This was the perfect place for that. Everything at the resort was super - the room, the hotel, the spa, the pool, the restaurants (the food), the bars (the drinks), the staff were all very pleasant. The beach was beautiful and private. I was there only 3 days/2 nights. The hotel staff was accommodating with my early arrival and late departure. I had perfect weather. I only wish I would have stayed few more days. I plan to return. Thank you Sharon!
