Holiday rentals in Miami, FL

The focal point of Miami’s world-famous nightclub and party scene is the South Beach area. The real clubbers who are into the best dance music hang out at the quirkily named Do Not Sit On The Furniture – it’s clearly a placed designed to keep your feet moving. Twist is the most popular gay club on the strip, and is also immensely popular. For big-name international DJs, head to the fabled LIV, which has been a fixture of the clubbing and live music scene in the city for many years. Good holiday rentals in Miami to choose to be right in the centre of the South Beach action include Villa Italia South Beach and Dream South Beach. The party doesn’t stop during the day either – Nikki Beach is a daytime club right on the beach where the music pumps all day long and the dancing goes on till dusk.

Miami is a very varied city, so as much as it’s one of the US party capitals, it also offers plenty for families on holiday in sunny Florida. For a start, there’s Zoo Miami on SW St., which protects a large number of animal species and where the kids can get a good look at the legendary Florida alligators. There’s also the Miami Children’s Museum with its interactive educational exhibits on everything from arts and culture to communication and history. Don’t forget Miami Seaquarium and Jungle Island, an aerial adventure park that you’ll traverse using ziplines. And you couldn’t possibly leave Miami without taking the kids to Dolphin World, where they can actually swim with dolphins. To be centrally placed for easy access to these city attractions you can stay at Sonder at The Palace, which is about a five-minute drive from the centre of the city.

This is a casual free-wheeling city with a lifestyle that matches its warm and sunny climate. The climate and culture lends itself very well to Miami holiday rentals, rather than staying in a larger hotel. You’ll immediately feel more part of the vibrant local community, rather than an onlooking tourist. A self-catering holiday rental also gives you the freedom to make up your meals as you like, and to completely set your own holiday itinerary. You’ll be able to stay somewhere that is a bit more homely than a hotel, with more personalised service provided by the owners, who will often be a local family. With a bit of luck you’ll might even be treated to some authentic home-cooked Miami Cuban cuisine too, without the need to seek out a restaurant. Smart holidaymakers are adept at getting the most out of their holiday budget, which is another reason why so many people opt for a holiday rental: they’re often substantially cheaper than hotels, while offering the same standards of quality and service. And don’t underestimate the value of a nice private sanctuary to which you can retreat when you’ve had enough activity for the day.
