Where to stay in South Beach?

Author: Colle
Date: 02/07/2008, 04:50 pm

Hi
I am looking to rent a furnished condo for one month in South Beach. I have 3 choices in terms of location:
- Ocean and 5th
- Washington and 15th
- Collins and 23rd
I really don't know this area would love some advice on the best spot. In terms of what I am looking for: I am happy to be in an active, busy area. Would like not to have to rent a car and still be able to get to the shops, restaurants, galleries easily.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Washington and 15th.

You will be close to the beach, shopping, dining, Lincoln Road Mall, Ocean Drive, pretty much in the middle of things.

Collins and 23rd is a little north and Ocean and 5th is a little too close to the action.

Thank you both for your responses. GO Travel when you say that Ocean and 5th is too close to the action what do you mean?
thanks again

Hi Colle!

Firstly, Ocean Drive and Fifth Street is a super busy intersection and is right in the middle of the chaos that is Ocean Drive.

By busy I mean 24/7 busy and not in a good way.

On Washington and 15th you are really in the middle of everything. Almost a bullseye of South Beach.
