The Tides location is spot on with being walking distance from your very own private beach area, in addition to Hollywood Beach boardwalk (1.5 miles), and the Aventura shopping area (2.5 miles).
Miami Beach - South Beach is a nice 25 - 40 minute drive (traffic), yet soaking up the scenery driving down Ocean Drive or I95 is all worth it.
Other points of interest within twenty minutes of The Tides are, Little Havana, Wynnewood Park, and Gulfstream Casino.
Chris's instructions on checking in are crystal clear. Follow all of his instructions and you will be set. He responds quick. Outstanding customer service.
I highly recommend this location!!
