South Beach Place

I was searching for pet friendly accommodations in Vero Beach for my family of 4 while on a budget and I found it here. This establishment is a hidden gem! Right across the street from the ocean, lush tropical gardens, well kept pool and grounds, bbq grill available for use, and bicycles available for riding around town. The room was beautifully decorated, bright, and spacious, with 1 king bed and 2 day beds, a small dining table and chairs, TV, WiFi, a small, yet fully stocked kitchen, including fridge, microwave, and stove, along with utensils/​plates/​cups/​pots/​etc. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. Breakfast is not included in the price, but there’s a lot of breakfast options nearby. Room service is not done on a daily basis, so you have to be smart and keep after yourself (although they are able to come when needed).
Overall a great experience. I would recommend this establishment to everyone!

This motel seems to get a lot of good reviews. Unfortunately, my experience at South Beach Place was not a good one. As you can see, the Cons definitely outweigh the Pros of this motel.
Here are the things I liked…
* The room was pretty clean for the most part; as were the grounds in general.
* The location was great. Just a short walk to the beach.
* The place had a great «Old Florida» feel to it.
Here is what I did NOT like about it…
* When we arrived, we found nobody at the front desk. We had to wait about 20 – 30 minutes before someone finally showed up.
* When we finally got into our room, we discovered a red colored stain on the sheets. When we told the girl at the front desk about it, she said she would leave some new sheets in our room for US to put on! She seemed a bit surprised when we asked to have motel staff change the sheet instead of making us do it. That was weird.
* Upon entering the room we also noticed an overpowering air freshener that smelled like Old Spice or some other cheap cologne. The room stunk like that stuff for the entire weekend! I was never able to get used to it.
* When I went to use the kitchen sink, I heard water dripping beneath the sink. When I opened the cabinet to investigate, I realized the pipe under the sink was completely detached! I called the front desk to tell them, but nobody answered the phone. Then after a while I saw brown water all over the floor of the kitchen. It was brown, smelly waste water that was pouring out of the broken pipe. I tried to reattach the broken pipe. That sort of helped to stop more water from pouring out. When I finally spoke to someone at the front desk, they cleaned the mess, but told me that they couldn’t get a plumber over the weekend so not to use the kitchen sink. However, I was not offered a different room or given a discount for having to stay in a room with filthy waste water leaking out and a kitchen I couldn’t use.
* Upon returning home I learned that a friend of mine had spoken to the owner of the motel (Laura) to ask her if they could put together a gift basket for me and leave it in the room as a surprise for my birthday. She agreed and took his credit card info. But then she never did anything! There was no gift basket at all. My friend has since called about a dozen times for an exploration, however, nobody answers or returns his calls.
All in all, I would have to recommend that you do NOT stay at this place. The few nice things about it do not make up for the bad. They are very unprofessional and that seems to be just fine by them.

This is such an awesome hotel for a weekend getaway! The place is small and simple yet great. The rooms all have a small kitchen, dining room, and living room. There’s a pool with a bar-​b-​que. The manager lives on the premises and is always around if and when you need him.
Last year, we had the whole place rented out for our wedding and they were so accommodating.
It’s located right across the beach and close to great little restaurants and shops. They also have bikes that you can ride while you’re staying there.
Overall, it’s not a 5 star hotel but compared to surrounding hotels and taking into consideration all it has to offer… I think it’s awesome! I will definitely continue to recommend this place to others. Enjoy ;)

This place is absolutely awesome. Just rented the whole place for my wedding in Vero. The staff was super friendly and helpful and as long as we were respectful and cleaned up after ourselves they were okay with whatever. We had a bbq there, hung out there everyday, and partied there every night with no one bothering us. The rooms are very nice, each have a kitchen and living room and the price is great. Oh and directly across from the beach. I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you south beach place for contributing to one of the most wonderful weekends of my life!
