My father worked there in the 60s and 70s and we spent our summers there. I haven’t been to Miami Beach in over 30 years so I know not if its still there although I tend to believe it’s not. I moved to the real Waikiki actually!

I used to go to Waikiki as a kid during late 80′s through the mid 90′s. It was the best , lots of great memories. We would stay for a week every year during August during my birthday. This was the best Birthday gifts I have ever received, Thank you Mom and Dad.

The Vagabond Motel, which opened in 1953, I believe, was owned by a group that included my uncle. Our first family vacation was to Miami in 1954, when I was 8, and, of course, we stayed at the Vagabond. We hit all of the tourist traps in the area, but for us kids, spending the better part of a day at the pool was the highlight. My 2 brothers and I learned to swim there. Free orange juice at poolside every afternoon at 3. I helped once, and dropped a whole tray of filled cups. Thus ended my waiter career. We did get to work the switchboard from time to time – one of those cord and plug things like Lily Tomlin used on Laugh In.

I’m told that ALL the low-rise motels in that area are now long gone, and have been replaced by high-rise condos.

Ain’t progress grand?

I stayed at this motel on vacation as a child in the late 60s. Do you know if its still there or when it was torn down if its gone?

My family vacationed here every winter from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s. What a great place and very design distinct for its time. I’d love to see more photos.
