Tips for the Best Miami Vacation

It’s no surprise that Miami continues to be one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. With its beautiful beaches, year-round warm weather, an impressive arts district, and delicious food, it’s the makings of a dream vacation. Before you plan your next vacation to Miami consider these tips.

Brush up on your Spanish! Miami has a large Spanish-speaking community, so chances are you will be spoken to in Spanish. If you don’t know the language – don’t worry. There are many great apps out there, like Duolingo, that can help you pick up key phrases fast!

Miami has its own rail system, Metrorail, but it stops running at midnight. Uber, on the other hand, runs the entire night! You can be sure you will get from point A to point B safely after a night on the town.

While Miami Beach is the most famous attraction in Miami, it isn’t the only one. Virginia key beach is just as beautiful and has less of a crowd. Crandon Park, located on Key Biscayne, is full of family-friendly fun and loads of water sports.

Miami is one of the best vacation spots in the country. Book your next vacation here for a trip full of new experiences and tons of fun!

South Florida Magazine Publishes Staycation Guide

We are all about catering to tourists and helping them enjoy the South Florida experience to the max, but we also know that plenty of reasons exist to enjoy a good staycation, especially in South Florida. The popular Ocean Drive magazine recently provided a guide to the “ultimate Miami staycation”. Let’s explore some of the highlights that made the guide.

We’ll kick things off in the Brickell and downtown area of Miami. Seaspice is one of the places mentioned. Overlooking the Miami River, this place is open Tuesday through Friday for happy hour from 5 pm to 7 pm. Bring along a friend or loved one and toast to life or anything you may find toast-worthy while enjoying the beautiful vistas.

Also making the list is a longtime local favorite: Vizcaya Museum and Garden. This historic landmark features the beautiful mansion itself and over forty lush acres of impeccably maintained gardens that are absolutely picturesque and will likely have you snapping multiple selfies.

Let’s move on to Miami Beach. If you’re looking for some live performance art, the Faena Theater emulates the feel of an opera house in Europe and often features shows centered around cabaret performances.

After you’ve visited the Faena Theater, grab some Korean grub at Drunken Dragon or key lime pie at the South Beach staple Joe’s Stone Crab. The latter has desserts and its stone cab is a must-have if you have a seafood palate.

Whether it’s a staycation or vacation, we can help you find the right South Florida vacation rentals. Should you need something more specialized, we also offer Miami Beach vacation rentals.

Florida Spring Break Continues to Be Popular

As more people receive the vaccine, travel has begun to see adoption again, including Spring Break vacations. With its gorgeous beaches and countless recreational opportunities, it’s no surprise that Florida remains a popular Spring Break and year-round vacation destination.

Air travel is now increasing in popularity. The Transportation Safety Administration announced earlier this month that it screened over one million passengers at airports, the largest number of people screened in a single day since early March last year. However, analysts in the airline industry claim that this only reflects about sixty percent of the pre-pandemic volume.

Although figures suggest people are becoming more familiar with flying, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to warn against unnecessary flight, including for those who have been vaccinated.

Road trips are also an excellent option for spring break and some other travel this year. Some people may expect to use their stimulus checks to go on holidays, which will be good news for Florida’s tourism industry. Road trips also provide a way of traveling without the risk of being near others for an extended period.

Remember that we have a host of South Florida vacation rentals available for those wishing to experience South Florida during the spring or the upcoming summer season. We can help guide you on some of the hottest (no pun intended) places to relax and unwind like Miami Beach, Coconut Grove, Fort Lauderdale, Downtown Miami vacation rentalsand more. We also offer a medical tourism package for those wishing to visit South Florida for health or cosmetic procedures.

Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale Are Ready for Spring Break

With the upcoming arrival of spring break, many people will likely be descending upon South Florida to enjoy the warm weather, the beaches, and a potentially much-needed vacation. With the various circumstances going on, however, cities like Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale are both implementing rules and safety guidelines so that all “spring breakers” can enjoy the experience as safely as possible.

In Fort Lauderdale, for example, the ultra-popular A1A that runs parallel to the beach is undergoing some changes. For starters, ridesharing will be prohibited and anyone caught violating this risks receiving a citation. Instead, there will be a designated pickup and drop-off area set to be located at Las Olas Oceanside Park, itself located at 3000 East Las Olas Boulevard. Barricades will also be used to encourage social distancing.

Over in Miami Beach, the beach will be accessible from 7 am to 7 pm and there will be no coolers, inflatables, alcohol, tents, or tables permitted on the beach. All sidewalk cafes must close by midnight. Furthermore, after 10 p.m., all box liquor sales will end across the entire city.

If you’d like to spend spring break or the upcoming summer in South Florida, we’re ready to help you enjoy a perfect vacation. Contact us today.

The major news this week is the unprecedented winter storms and below zero temperatures affecting most of the country. States like Texas are facing power outages and well, the weather is not the most ideal as people bundle up and do whatever they can to stay warm.

A Vacation May Do Wonders

A holiday vacation is highly beneficial in helping the body and mind take a load off and relax. Might it be the solution to marriage difficulties as well? An article in the South Florida Reporter from last year seems to indicate that this may be the case. Nearly three in five Americans said that taking a holiday rescued their relationship.

A survey of over1,900 participants paid close attention to travel patterns and it was found that more than half of respondents had more intimate encounters with their partner during the holiday compared to when they were living their everyday lives, after analyzing the results. In comparison, there were a larger number of compliments and upscale meal dates given and received.

Marriage proposals tend to be popular during holidays, and more than forty percent of respondents said they wished their spouse would propose during the holiday. A South Florida holiday rental could be a great experience for you and your partner with spring and summer quickly approaching. We can connect you to some invitingly relaxing places throughout South Florida.

Simple Tips for a First Vacation Rental Experience

If you’re willing to travel, we want you to enjoy the South Florida experience the way a local would, resting and basking in the sunlight. You will first need to select the right one before you can move into your holiday rental, and that means just keeping in mind a couple of pointers.

To begin with, similar to searching for a hotel, make sure you search early, a couple of months in advance if possible. As the case tends to be in places like South Florida that are constantly in demand, the best vacation rentals can be booked quickly and they fill up fast

When you have narrowed down the hunt for holiday rentals, make sure to read the contract meticulously. This is imperative as it will probably detail what costs you have to pay for as well as any liability that could cause harm or whether you may have to shell out money for cleaning. Be confident that while you stay in the vacation rental, you are well aware of whether you’ll be responsible for paying utilities or other extras such as cable television.

Don’t hesitate to take a couple of rental pictures the day you visit and make sure to walk around and take a good look. Having photos means that something that may not have been caused by you isn’t charged to you.

Florida Keys Experience Becomes One Woman’s Home

A Business Insider article shares the story of a woman who was living in Maine. She was working as a therapist part-time and also writing on the side, with plans to publish another book after already having one on the market. Eventually, the woman decided to quit her therapist job and concentrate fully on making writing a career. That decision also included a move to the Florida Keys where the couple decided to try living on a sailboat for six months.

The six months have now become five years and the woman calls the move to Florida “the best decision ever”. Among the reasons why she is so happy with the move, she cites the weather in the Florida Keys which allows her to spend more time outdoors, something that is further enhanced by the fact that she lives on the water. The woman praises the fact that she can enjoy the weather “all year long”.

While you may like where you live, the Florida Keys are a great option when you’re considering a vacation. Conact us to learn more about what vacation rentals may be available.

Discover “The Grove” in Miami

The glitz and glam of Miami Beach ensure its perennial appeal but when you want to experience something scenic yet quieter, consider Coconut Grove. “The Grove” continues to be a longtime classic, and one of the oldest Miami neighborhoods, known for its many virtues, including its ever-modern beauty, many amenities, vibrant art scene, and lots more.

Coconut Grove has no shortage of art for those seeking to indulge. A famous event is the yearly Coconut Grove Arts Festival, where artistic individuals line the streets showcasing their paintings, handcrafted items, and more. The Goombay Festival metamorphoses Coconut Grove into something similar to the Caribbean Carnaval. These events may, however, be on hold.

The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens features carefully preserved, exuberant Italian Renaissance Gardens for those that like to be among nature, in addition to the classical villa and estate that once served as the residence of James Deering, a man with a rich South Florida history.

South Florida and water are closely tied. You have the option of venturing off into the water from Dinner Key Marina on a fishing boat charter. CocoWalk has numerous stores and restaurants for shopping and dining. Coconut Grove is close to the iconic city of Coral Gables as well as the downtown area of Miami, meaning that there is still plenty to do near your holiday rental in Coconut Grove.
