Ultramarine Oasis

A stone's throw from Miami Beach, this apartment gets top marks for location. Not only is the ocean mere moments away, but the area's top restaurants, bars, and shops are also nearby. Even better than the location are the building's first-class amenities, including a state-of-the-art gym, wellness spa, and not one but seven swimming pools. The apartment is more of a hotel suite than a true home-from-home, so it lacks some cosy touches. Still, there's a private balcony that's perfect for sundowners, an ample-sized bedroom, and a living space with a sofa bed for guests three and four.

Home truths:
*Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
*At full capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living space.
*This apartment is set up like a hotel room with a kitchen, rather than a cosy home-from-home. It lacks some basic cooking equipment and personal touches.
*You'll have access to the on-site gym and swimming pools here. They're shared with the building's other residents.
*Your host can provide a free toddler bed upon request.
