I have stayed at South Beach many times and it always gets a 5 star rating. On previous reviews, I have raved about the property (which is awesome). On this review, I will help all of you wondering about nearby restaurants. There are many restaurants within 1 mile of the property that I will tell you about. Middle Grounds (which I consider "almost" high end) is about a 2 minute walk. It has amazing sea food and if you want a bargain, go to their early bird special and get a great meal for $12. Bazzie's, located at the Bilmar (the big yellow hotel south of South Beach), has decent bar food and is located right off of the beach. You can walk from South Beach on the beach walk to get there...probably a 4 or 5 minute walk. Foxy's is an old stand by that never disappoints. It is located on 107th Ave near the clock tower. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all good there, as are the prices. Island Bob's Deli (a new place) is a gem. It is located right off of 107th and Gulf blvd (across from the Bilmar). My husband and I have eaten there countless times and are amazed at the great food and the low prices. A typical lunch for us is under $10 total. We split a 12 inch sub (which is HUGE) and each get chips and a soda. You can't beat it! Ricky T's (also across from the Bilmar) is a fun place to have a drink and eat some great food. Their breakfast is the best on the beach. If you are there for lunch or dinner, order a side of macaroni and cheese.....yummy! On the backside of Island Bobs is a strip mall with a clock tower over the street. In that mall there is the Clock Tower Bar. They have great food and offer $3.95 specials daily. I recommend you get a table outside on their deck (that sits in the parking lot). A couple of doors down from the Clock Tower Bar is a place called The Cigar Republic which is my husband"s favorite spot to stop and have a beer and a cigar. You will not find a friendlier place in town. They don't have food but they allow food to be brought in. Almost next door to the CR is a restaurant called Pearl. It is borderline high end. They have the best deal in town with their early bird specials (must be seated by 5:45). They offer small plates of four or five of their menu item for $10. You will get a soup or salad with that, along with bread. The food is to die for. I was there last week and they had a filet mignon special ($12) that couldn't have been better. Even though they are considered "small plates", you will fill up just fine. Don't wait until your last night to eat there because you will be mad not to have dined there at least a couple of times during your visit. Ask the front desk about how to get to the R Bar if you want a killer burger. It is an easy walk but on a side street. Have fun!

We booked this hotel based on reviews, but it was better than our expectations! Beautiful rooms, fully stocked with whatever you need to come to beach. Beautiful grounds, everything was super clean. We could not have asked for a better stay at the beach. FYI, if you are looking for a good breakfast place, Kenny's Korner about 2miles up the road was super! Great prices, fast hot fresh and delicious breakfast and not terribly expensive, well worth. We will definitely stay here again!

We have stayed at the South Beach Condo Hotel several times. Very clean and friendly place. Within walking distance from the room are several bars and restraints, such as The pearl for fine dinning, Ricky T's for a bar with good food, Island Bob's for the best Deli sandwich you ever had and Foxy's for all around dinning like mom use to make. We stayed in room # 607 several times. It has been 100% totally remodeled with all new stainless steel appliances, new furniture, new flat screen tv's in living room and bedroom,new stacked washer dryer and new bedroom set with king size bed. Not all rooms have king size beds. This condo is on the top floor so there is no noise from above. Treasure island is a hidden Gem of a community and South Beach is the the place to stay when you visit.

We enjoyed our week at South Beach condo #403 very much. The unit was spacious, comfortable, nicely decorated & the view was perfect. The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking utensils you would need. Because we do eat in for most of the week, I would have liked to have a few more things in the kitchen, like a cookie sheet or a 9 X 13 baking dish...but those are just my wants, not needs. We were grateful for the washing machine and dryer right in the unit too. We enjoyed watching the sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico from the balcony! The grounds are beautifully kept with nice palm trees & pretty flowers and the beach is soft white sand - and lots of it! We liked the fact that the condo was within walking distance to John's Pass (a quaint board-walk with lots of shops...and ice cream!). After our week, we left feeling very relaxed. We would have loved to stay longer. We normally stay 2 weeks in Treasure Island, but this year decided to head down to Key West for our 2nd week (never been down that far). Although Key West is very nice and tropical, my husband & I both agreed that Treasure Island is where we prefer to be. We've been staying in the area in another complex every November for the last 10 years, and decided to change it up this year by trying out South Beach instead! We made a good choice staying here! Kathy, the owner of the condo we rented, was very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. The staff at the front desk were also friendly and helpful. We hope to return to South Beach again next year.
