What Miami guests want, and how we deliver it
Who stays
Families with children, groups of friends, couples, pet owners and guests after a relaxing beach holiday. Guests book about 68 days ahead and stay around 5 nights.
What they love
Being close to the beach, local cafés and restaurants, walking to shops and amenities, a family-friendly feel and community events like Miami Marketta.
What they complain about, and how we fix it
Construction and street noise, parking at busy times, cleanliness on arrival, basic amenities in some homes and key pick-up hassles. Noise and parking come with the location. Cleanliness, missing amenities and key hassles are management problems: hotel-standard cleaning, a fully stocked home and self check-in fix them, and they show up in your reviews.
What guests expect
Parking (90% of listings) and air-conditioning (88%) are standard in Miami. Only 59% of homes have a pool and 15% a spa, so either one helps you stand out. Pet-friendly homes appeal to the pet owners who book here.
