The Local House is a charming boutique hotel, and our stay was truly wonderful. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The location is ideal—peaceful yet just steps from the beach. The hotel provides convenient beach amenities, including towels, two chairs, and an umbrella. There’s also a restaurant on the ground floor and a rooftop lounge where we enjoyed relaxing in the evenings with a pleasant breeze. The surrounding area is very convenient, with numerous restaurants, a Starbucks, a small market, and a Walgreens just next door. Overall, The Local House offers both comfort and convenience in a beautiful setting.

This is a great boutique hotel in a great, quieter area. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Rooms were nice appointed and clean. The beach chair service was a great addition and the rooftop pool was quiet and eclectic. I will definitely be returning.

We really enjoyed our stay. If you are looking to stay in South Beach, you can't go wrong. A few blocks away from the busy nightlife of Ocean Drive. Easy to walk. No need for a car. We ubered from the airport and ubered around miami for relatively cheap (way cheaper than parking). Rooftop pool is small but perfect for sun bathing for a few hours. Only a few lounge chairs however, they should add a few more. Breakfast/bunch downstairs is super fresh and healthy and delicious. Highly recommend!

I stumbled upon this place after my flight home got canceled - and I'm so glad I did! The staff was friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, and the rooftop pool was a highlight! I will definitely come back if I'm in the area.

This place is amazing. It’s a little hotel above their restaurant with a roof top pool. Gives out great Miami vibes. Anatolia, the manager was very thoughtful and provided excellent services. Eddy, that guy was also amazing. We had breakfast there and the food was superb! Location is right on Ocean Dr. and just steps away from the beach. Highly recommend!

The concierge was excellent and so helpful took care of anything we needed and answered all our questions. The room was great and pretty quiet considering its location. But it at the quieter end of the main road. Great people watching at happy hour. The upstairs pool was fun for my kid. Would def go again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Local House . We were told a day before our stay that elevator is not working , which I felt was a little bummer . But the staff way above and beyond to make that as non issue by helping us with stroller and bags. And also gave option to leave stroller downstairs .They were very playful with my little one and ensured we have comfortable stay . They also arranged for Crib , came with surprise bday cake in the morning ( though my husband asked for it ) but it was nice gesture at their end to come with candle and celebrate with us. Lastly the food at Local house restaurant was super delicious and the ambience was great with live music.
