Florida Favorite Vacation Rental Beach Houses, Condos and Villas.

 Florida.  The Sunshine State.  Vacationland U.S.A.  From north to south, east to west, Florida has it all, from world-class art museums to world-class theme parks.  From the Space Coast to South Beach to the emerging Emerald Coast, Florida more than earns its reputation as a vacation paradise. 

And if you're looking for fitting accommodations for you and your family, you're in luck: there are more Florida vacation rentals by owner than most anywhere in America.

Since Florida is such a multi-varied place, it's difficult to know where to begin with an overview.  Let's begin, though, with what is perhaps Florida's most famous spot: Miami Beach.  Miami Beach is famous as a hip mecca, a multi-cultural magnet for America and Latin America.  What a lot of people don't know is that Miami Beach can be a surprisingly affordable Florida vacation rentals by owner destination.  So you can enjoy one of the most culturally varied, most vibrant  places in the United States without taking out that second mortgage.

Key West, the laid-back and sometimes eccentric Conch Republic, is another of the most popular Florida vacation rentals by owner destinations.  Walk in the footsteps or, in this case, drink in the same barstool as local legend and mythic American writer, Ernest Hemingway.  Closer to Havana than to Miami Beach, this place exudes tropical charm and laid-back ease.  Stop into Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville for a late-afternoon aperitif or enjoy an unforgettable sunset as you sail away from a day spent diving at the Dry Tortugas.  Key West is a definite must-see for first-time visitors to the Sunshine State.
    

While we're discussing amazing sunsets, we have to mention an emerging area of Florida vacation rentals by owner: the recently-christened Emerald Coast, the  Gulf Coast panhandle area of Destin and Fort Walton Beach.  Here you will discover some of the finest beaches in all of America.  Blessed with miles of sugar-white sandy beaches, far from the maddening crowds, the Emerald Coast is Florida's best-kept secret--and it's yours to discover.  As of this writing, the Emerald Coast still maintains its mellow, small-town vibe, but regional magazines, and some national outlets, are discovering the coast's subtle charms.  The Emerald Coast is the perfect place to enjoy some of the world's finest beaches and Destin vacation rentals by owner beach houses, without the crowds you would likely encounter at other places.
    

Of course, no discussion of Florida vacation rentals by owner would be complete without mentioning one of Florida's most popular attractions.  Of course, we're talking about the world-famous Salvador Dali Museum of St. Petersburg (don't worry, we'll get to Walt Disney World).  Containing one of the most extensive collections of the surrealist painter's works, the Salvador Dali Museum is a must for any art lover and it's a fine jumping-off point to the laid-back charms of the St.Petersburg/ Sarasota/Clearwater area vacation rentals by owner.
    

Probably the most popular Florida vacation rentals by owner location is the Orlando area.  Famous for its world-class theme parks, Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, Orlando packs a lot of family-fun excitement into a relatively small area--and, the secret is, Orlando can be a surprisingly affordable Florida vacation rentals by owner location.  As tourism in the area grows, so do the amenities.  Orlando now boasts fine gourmet restaurants attracting some of the finest chefs in the world and a vibrant nightlife that rivals other major metropolitan areas in America.  And it all started with a mouse...
    

Another well-known Florida vacation rentals by owner locale is the ritzy Gold Coast, home of ultra-tony Palm Beach.  Enjoy world-class shopping on Palm Beach's trendy Worth Avenue or just pass an afternoon watching a polo match under the palms.

Further down the coast is beautiful Fort Lauderdale.  Formerly a haven for rowdy spring-breakers, Fort Lauderdale is making a serious run at respectability for vacationers.  One trip downtown to the revitalized Las Olas Boulevard area, a vibrant area of gourmet restaurants and nightclubs, and you'll see that this run for respectability is succeeding.

With so much to offer, it's difficult to sum up all that Florida has.  Aside from what we've mentioned, there is so much more: the wilds of the Everglades, the world-class beaches and shelling opportunities of Sanibel and Captiva Islands, and some of the finest golf courses in the world in Naples.  There is so much that Florida has to offer, you just have to dive in.  With a wealth of Florida vacation rentals by owner to choose from, getting there is just a simple click away!
