Florida Vacation Rental Homes by Owner

Staying in a vacation rental by owner (VRBO) in Florida as opposed to a hotel has its own set of advantages and considerations.

Whether it's the right choice for you depends on your preferences, needs, and the nature of your trip. The biggest reason for choosing a vacation rental is space and privacy, the other main reasons are better pet friendly options and home like comfort.

We have a great selection of properties in these Florida areas: Orlando, Miami, Tampa, Clearwater Beach, Fort Lauderdale Beach, Anna Maria Island, Pensacola, Key West, Naples, Fort Myers and St. Augustine.

Short-Term Vacation Rentals in Florida are a Great Choice for Comfort, Cost, and Convenience!

Short-term vacation rentals are becoming increasingly popular for vacationers who are looking for a unique, cost-effective, and personalized vacation experience.

Unlike hotels, short-term rentals offer more space, privacy, and flexibility allowing guests to immerse themselves in the local environment. We have beautiful and well-appointed houses and villas available which are more affordable than staying at a resort or hotel, especially for families and large groups. These spaces are larger than hotel rooms and suites and offer exceptional privacy with outdoor recreation spaces and amenities like kitchens and laundry rooms which help keep costs down.

We also offer condos and apartment rentals which offer the convenience and overall vibe of a hotel stay with more personalization and the added benefit of a kitchen and living area.

Short-term vacation rentals also allow you to immerse yourself completely in the local culture and experience the vibe from the vantage point of the locals.
