Beachside 1-BD Retreat with Free Parking

An eight-story mid-century building on 76th Street, this one-bedroom retreat sits in North Beach, a low-rise residential pocket two blocks from the sand and quieter than South Beach's hotel row. Free on-site parking is a rare perk this close to the ocean.

The unit runs a full kitchen and separate living area rather than a single hotel room, suited to travelers wanting a home base for a week rather than a weekend.

Normandy Isle's restaurants and the 71st Street shops are a short walk; the Julia Tuttle Causeway gives quick car access to downtown Miami.
