My stay at The Local House was quite enjoyable overall. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the beach yet away from the noisy crowds of Ocean Drive. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making my experience smoother. though I found some minor issues with room amenities. The rooftop pool was lovely, adding to the boutique charm, although it could have been warmer for my taste.

I recently spent a fantastic 5-night getaway at The Local House, and I truly didn't want to leave. The rooms were clean and well-decorated, and the rooftop pool was such a relaxing highlight. What really stood out to me, though, was the staff—they were incredibly helpful and made me feel right at home. My only minor concern was the slow elevator, but overall, it was a good stay.
