The Vagabond is a lovingly restored mid-century-modern motel on Biscayne Boulevard, in the heart of the MiMo Historic District on the mainland’s Upper Eastside. With just 42 vintage-styled rooms and a poolside vibe, it’s an independent, character-filled alternative to the beach hotels and puts you among the neighborhood’s retro signs and buzzy restaurants. Book direct for the best rates, and use it as a base if you’d rather stay off the island.
