Summary

Decoplage is a 667-unit oceanfront condominium built in 1965 at the beach end of Lincoln Road in South Beach, across from the Ritz-Carlton. It has one of the most praised pools and locations on Miami Beach, with 24-hour security and a fitness center, but as an older building with individually owned units, apartment condition, laundry setup and lease terms vary a lot by unit, and many apartments are rented out short-term by their owners alongside longer-term residents.

Reviews

Residents appreciate the oceanfront Lincoln Road location, pool and improvements to security and cleanliness. Complaints concern water, AC and elevator interruptions, construction noise and inconsistent management responses.

What residents praise

Unbeatable oceanfront location and pool

Long-term owners and renters repeatedly call this the best location in South Beach, right on the beach at the foot of Lincoln Road, with an oceanfront pool residents describe as one of the best in the area.

Improved security and cleanliness

Residents credit the condo board with improvements to building security, cleanliness and common-area upkeep.

What residents complain about

Periodic utility and elevator outages

Residents describe recurring days without water or air conditioning and occasional elevator problems, on top of construction noise from ongoing building work.

Apartment condition and service vary by unit and staff

As an individually owned building with a large share of units on short-term rental programs, apartment finishes, valet and front-desk service, and management responsiveness vary depending on the unit's owner and which staff a resident deals with.

Amenities

An oceanfront heated pool with direct beach access, a fully equipped fitness center, and 24-hour security with an attended lobby. Air conditioning and a dishwasher are standard in every apartment; laundry varies by unit between in-unit machines and a common laundry room. Garage and valet parking are available.
