I like to be honest with all my reviews and eventhough the owner of the condo was very nice( Henry O) I but have to give an honest report on the unit. I stayed in unit #102 which is on the 1st floor. The lobby is nice but the hallways are in need of updating. The carpet is old and often there was a smell. The unit was nice but it could of been a... more

The Barbizon is well kept condominium building, with a cool chic lobby furnished with purple plush sofas, so comfy! The key to this place is finding the right owner with the right price with a decent room. And "Joe the Owner" is that guy who owns apt. #206. For 70 a night located on prime location across from the beach, you cant beat it! Joe the Owner is very efficient with rental bookings from beginning... more

I booked this condo with VRBO, a 2 bedroom, 2 bath that holds 6 (fold out couch in living room) for 2 night pre cruise for 6 of us. We worked with Robin Dreyfuss and her agent Jen. No problems getting in, it's right on Ocean Ave, good rates! We did find it noisey with the music into the wee hours on Sat. night, but we had come in from the West coast, and it... more

I booked our condo through Henry Ontiverio on VacationRentals.com for the week June 18th through June 24th, 2008. The cost only $520 for 7 days but had I known what I was getting at this rate I would have booked another place. When we arrived the outside was pretty bland not too impressive but across Ocean drive to the beach. This is not a hotel nor does this place feature any kind of ammenties at... more

DO NOT STAY IN THIS PLACE. IT IS A SCAM. As a part of the agreement they tell you there is a $125 cleaning fee. Well they charge you $1000 and do not refund it. They are complete scam artists. Do not stay here unless you want fraudulent charges made to your credit card. Do not get ripped off and spend the time dealing with it the way i have. The condo was left in... more

I've read the reviews on TripAdvisor and booked the room owned Henry Ontivero through VacationRentals.com. We got room 309 which is a corner unit. It was large and spacious, and very clean. King size bed, kitchenette, plasma TV w/HBO and surround stereo system. The TV, however, stopped working as soon as we checked in, but Henry replaced it within an hour. Few things to remember though. This is a condo, not a hotel, and daily... more

I was extremely satisfied as well as impressed with the condo i stayed at in the Barbizon located at 5th and Ocean in the heart of South Beach. The room was very well kept and lavishly decorated with all the amenities needed for a wonderful vacation. My lady friend and I went down for a long weekend and it was just perfect for the two of us. The location was excellent and I really loved... more

Loved the barbizon 100% great location, excellent clean rooms stocked to the rim!!!! The beach is directly across the street, and fabulous by the way. The out door restaurants were good too! my favorite was Prime time. Plenty of clubs and bars. Wet willies was by far the best. The Call a cab drink and the Mojito Mojo were favorites of ours. Henry was a pleasure to work with. I look forward to renting again... more

I was looking for a place to stay in SoBe for a long girl's weekend at the beach. Found Henry's placethrough VacationRentals.com. I jumped over to TripAdvisor and the Barbizon was rated 4 stars out of 5 (First time I ever saw this) so I sent Henry an email and booked his place. The price was reasonable, the accomodations were outstanding, the service we received from Henry was amazing and it was directly across from... more
