Florida vacation rental and famous personalities.
A week in Miami is not unlike watching an episode of, say, Access Hollywood with a little CNN thrown in
for good measure. Miami: the city to which J-Lo fled when she and Ben Affleck were on the outs; the place
where the paparazzi camps out for days hoping to catch a glimpse of something or someone fabulous; the
place where former President Bill Clinton kibitzes with the head of a top modeling agency at a St.
Tropez-ish beach club; where Janet Reno throws a politically driven dance party at a South Beach nightclub.
And that's just a small sampling of the surreal, Felliniesque world that exists way down here at the bottom
of the map. Nothing in Miami is ever what it seems.

pounds and standing just over 5 feet tall asking for 10 cents admission to his fantasy world carved out
of stone. It was obvious Ed Leedskalnin took pride in his work. Since no one ever witnessed Ed's labor in
building his rock gate park, it was sometimes said he had supernatural powers. Ed would only say that he
knew secrets used to build the ancient pyramids. Tours of Coral Castle, from a Florida vacation rental
Key Largo property, include a 30-minute audio tour in English, Spanish, French or German detailing what
millions saw on national television shows and how rock star Billy Idol wrote "Sweet Sixteen" about Ed's
