There are many reasons to be Googling Miami Airbnbs ahead of your next vacation (spring break, South Beach, and nonstop parties immediately come to mind), but the Magic City has many facets to its frenetic charm.
Miami is also a hotbed for avant-garde fashion, design, and art, which is why people flock to the beach every year to navigate the crowds at Art Basel and Design Miami. History buffs can explore architecture from the 1920s at the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, stroll the Deering Estate house museum, or study up on Miami’s urban and environmental design at the Coral Gables Museum. There’s plenty of nightlife to speak of, too, but if you’re aiming for something more low-key, catch a live performance at the Historic Miracle Theatre, or head over to ArtecHouse Miami to immerse yourself in interactive art.
You could even devote a day or so to scouring the food scene, from a Cuban food tour of Little Havana to noshing at trendy spots like the playful, pastel-hued Casadonna or local favorites like the News Cafe, the historic restaurant where Gianni Versace used to venture to pick up his daily newspaper.
No matter if you’re traveling solo, with a partner, or with a group, there are countless Miami vacation rentals to set you up for an epic vacation to remember, whether you want to be somewhere along the stately avenues of Coral Gables or right in the heart of bustling downtown Miami. Here, nine of our favorite Miami Airbnbs for doing the most (or the least, if relaxation is key) on your visit.
In the heart of South Beach and along the Spanish-influenced Española Way lies the peachy-hued Casa Victoria where you’ll be posted during your sunny visit. The color palette continues indoors, where pops of orange and yellow complete the tropical vibe of your suite complete with a king-size bed and twin-size floor mattress (which rolls up if you’re flying solo). The windows that wrap around your suite soak in lots of sunlight and views of the picturesque surroundings, but one of the biggest perks of your temporary home are the light-blocking curtains which gently diffuse all that light when you’re sleeping off your hangover from the night before.
