about beach haus

Is Beach Haus a hotel or a vacation rental?

Beach Haus is not a hotel, it is a collection of vacation rentals. You will stay in a private, fully equipped apartment with the space, privacy, and independence of a home, plus select guest services to support your stay and a local team available by email whenever you need assistance.

Because Beach Haus is a vacation rental, some things work differently than they do at a hotel: check-in is self-service with a personal door code, and daily housekeeping is not included, although it is available on request for a fee.

The Design District property is designed for extended and corporate stays, with a 30-night minimum.

Where are the apartments located?

128 and 136 NE 46th Street, Miami, FL 33137.

Is there a front desk or 24-hour reception?

There is no front desk, 24-hour reception, or on-site staff. Your smart-lock code gives you access to your apartment at any hour, and our team is available by email if you need assistance.

How do I check in and get into my apartment?

Every Beach Haus apartment features self check-in with an electronic smart lock. Before arrival, we will send you your apartment number and a personal door code. If you need help accessing your apartment, please email us at designdistrict@beachhaus.net.

Will someone be there to greet me when I arrive?

You never have to wait for anyone: your personal door code lets you in at any hour.
There is no staff at the property, but our team is available by email.

booking payments & fees

What additional fees should I expect?

Optional mid-stay housekeeping: Available on request and charged per service.
Parking: Complimentary self-parking.

Are the cleaning and housekeeping fees one-time or per night?

The departure cleaning fee is a one-time charge per stay. It is not charged nightly, and it is the only cleaning included. Any additional housekeeping during your stay is optional, must be requested, and is charged per service.

When and how am I charged?

We collect a deposit of 50% of the room total when you book; the balance is due at check-in. Beach Haus accepts credit cards only and does not accept cash. Groups and special reservations may arrange payment by wire transfer before the cancellation window.

Applicable lodging taxes in the Design District are 13% (see “What taxes apply?”).

Cancellations are free of charge up to 14 days before arrival. Within 14 days of arrival, the deposit is nonrefundable. A no-show or a cancellation on or after the arrival date is charged for the full stay.

Do you place a security deposit or hold?

Yes. A $500 hold is authorized on your card at arrival and released within 24 hours after check-out, provided the apartment is returned in the same condition. This is an authorization, not a charge; nothing is billed unless there is damage.
