Sand in your hair, palm trees guarding you against the sunshine, juicy fruits waiting for you in a nearby table, and the glistening Gulf of Mexico in front of you. The beautiful Florida beaches offer so much to their visitors. However, you can always create the perfect experience by booking the most fantastic vacation villa in town. So, read on and discover what features and amenities make a home the ideal accommodation for your next Florida vacation:
1. Go Waterfront!
Why waste time walking to the beach or to the pier when you can have private access to it right in your backyard? Many vacation rentals in Florida have some water frontage. For you, this means stunning ocean views, but also in some exclusive Miami areas, like the Venetian Islands, you can gaze at the water and the city skyline! Vanilla, for example, is a sleek waterfront villa on the Venetians. Guests can enjoy the fantastic views of Biscayne Bay from the heated outdoor pool or through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
2. A Pool, of Course
Because you can’t have a Florida getaway without a pool. Salted water, heated, gunite, infinity, rooftop… The options are endless. It’s the perfect amenity for families with kids. We fell in love with Cocoa’s infinity pool. The whole château is Southeast Asia-inspired, featuring a wooden pagoda partially covering the infinity pool with Miami skyline views. It’s the perfect corner to take a minute and just relax under the cool shade. Plus, the hot tub is right there for you to enjoy. Those are the unforgettable memories we look forward to.
3. That Distinct Florida Style
Miami and Vero Beach are notorious for their stunning architecture. Art Deco is the area’s signature architectural style. However, there are so many other aesthetics to enjoy, and we love a home with a unique personality. Take, for example, Carrara. This resort-style villa features plenty of modern works of art, plus marble and metal finishes. The white and grey color palette contrasts with the ocean’s turquoise blues. It’s as sleek and modern as you can get. Palm, on the other hand, is a Balinese-style home. The property merges modern architecture with Southeast Asian interior design. Also, it includes a rooftop basketball court! What more can you ask of a Florida vacation rental?
4. Room to Play
Social distancing is still necessary, which means a vacation home now more than ever needs to be a destination in itself. This means offering plenty of fun-filled activities for guests. Aqua in Vero Beach is a great example. This oceanfront estate features not only a fully-equipped fitness center and an entertainment room with board games, an Xbox, and a ping pong table, but also a tennis court. Adults and children alike will have a hard time getting bored in this place.
5. A Private Dock
Ahoy, sailor! Renting or sailing your boat? Miami and Vero Beach are the perfect places to enjoy an experience offshore. So, why park your yacht somewhere else, when you can have it just at your fingertips? Arctic sits on the coveted tip of Hibiscus Island. This sleek property is a modern architect’s dream home, a true design stunner. But it also features its own dock and boat lift: convenient and practical. Even if you don’t plan on sailing away, it’s another quiet corner for you to sit down with a good book and gaze at the ocean.
