A Miami vacation rental may be one of the best ideas I have come across.

I love Florida. I love Miami. I love the beach. If you have family there, it can be a great excuse to go, as long as they do not mind company. Miami beach is one of my favorite places on earth.

My parents have dreamed of moving to Florida for many years.

Now that they are retired and all of the kids have grown and moved away they are finally able to live out that dream. At first, my siblings and I were saddened by the news of their departure but then we started planning visits by looking into Miami vacation rentals. Now we can’t wait until they are settled enough for company.

We found so many great places to stay on one online visit that we couldn’t decide what we wanted to do.

First of all, we had to consider how much we were going to spend on the Miami vacation rentals. There are a lot of options that appeal to even the most meager wallets. Some of us wanted to go big while others preferred something a little thrifty.

After researching the Miami vacation rentals and considering our options we actually found that each option was relatively cheap.

The first consideration we made was for a small apartment. As small as the space is, it still sleeps five people and only costs about 550 dollars per week. We really couldn’t afford not to look at this Miami vacation rental.

The next spot costs considerably more but it is a spacious condo that sleeps six.

This larger place could accommodate two couples and we could squeeze three kids into this Miami vacation rental. Even though the condo costs about 1200 dollars per week we could split the fee in two and share the space. A twist on the condo idea is a timeshare condo. If you own a timeshare, you can often trade your week at one place for another every year. Once paid for, a timeshare only has a smaller annual maintenance fee.

I really favored another option in Miami Beach vacation rentals.

Houses can be rented for as little as 1500 dollars per week. We could have all three couples share a house for the Florida get away for about the same price as the small single apartment. We could enjoy the spaciousness of a house by the ocean while saving a lot of money in the long run.

Some of the houses available as Miami vacation rentals did run about 2100 dollars per week but we could just ignore those no matter how attractive they are.

After considering all of the options we will probably go with the Florida vacation home for rent rather than the condo or apartment.

Now the only thing we have to do is get my parents down to Florida.

With all of the great Miami vacation rentals available the only worry we have is being invited to stay at their house. Not that that would be too bad. After all, it is Miami Beach.
