Oh, if you don't mind being a ways out of S. Beach but still actually on the beach, stay at the Ritz in Biscayne. It's brand new, beautiful, great restaurant, unbelievable service, etc. Hertz in Miami rents Z33s and C6s anyway, so it's alright to drive to/from a little bit. Ritz Biscayne is definitely a chill spot.
