We went to the Waikiki for about 7 years in a row in the late 60′s, early 70′s, as a family. It was our yearly treat from my grandfather and we’d stay for at least two weeks. It’s still there, as are the two pools, one fresh water and the big one being salt water. It’s now called the Sunny Isles Beach resort. My sister went o Miami a few years ago and asked if she could go to the back and they let her. She took some shots and not much has changed. The building where they played bingo is still there as is the “craft room”, where we sued to make clay crafts and paint them ourselves. The Aloha Lounge is still there, just not sure what it’s called now. The Pineapple Bowl Coffee Shop building is still there, but not used. Ahhh, the shuffle board we played. The Marco Polo is still next door but I don’t think they have the high divers anymore. I must take a trip one day with my wife and kids. What amazing memories. I think they petitioned a couple of years ago to keep the Rascal House going, but the owner’s may have caved to the almighty dollar. Too bad if they did, that was THE place to eat. Thanks for the memories on this friends, what an awesome time in life.

I stayed at the motel in the early 60′s when I was a kid. It was a great time in Miami Beach with motels and hotels along the beach. Across Collins Ave. it was still very residential with private homes, not hi-rise condos. I remember the shuffleboard and high dive tournaments, the ice cream shop, the movie and bingo nights. Not far from the motel there was the Rascal House and Wolfie’s. I had great memories of my Christmas vacations at the Waikiki Motel.

My Grandfather Jake Goldstein used to manage the hotel from about 1944 to the early 1960′s with his wife Naomi and my father use to be a bellhop in the summers.

Back in the middle 1990′s, I had a house in Belle Meade sitting four blocks east of the Vagabond Motel and every time I wolked by , I felt a sense of festivity and fun still in the air coming from the premises of the motel when its glory days used to crown the night life along side Biscayne Boulevard in Miami

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!
