Florida beach front vacation rental and Best Beach to Watch a Sunset: Naples Municipal Beach & Fishing Pier
(800-688-3600, www.paradisecoast.com)
Naples Municipal Beach & Fishing Pier (built in 1888 as a freight and passenger dock) shines as an all-time
sunset favorite. When the sun begins to set low on the western horizon, beachgoers, fisherman, locals and
tourists fill the narrow pier in anticipation of the daily show as the sun melts into the Gulf.
Florida beach vacation rental and Best Place to Snorkel: Dry Tortugas National Park
Whether you are a beginner or expert, you'll agree that some of the best snorkeling in North America is
found on this coral island some 70 miles west of Key West. Under the massive ramparts of Fort Jefferson
and lying on a carpet of brilliant white sand is a myriad of colorful tropical fish and living coral.
Florida's Dream 18.
With more than 1,000 golf courses in the state and counting, picking the best 18 … by hole number … is no
easy task. Playing them might be harder!
In assembling the Dream 18, I've tried to achieve a certain amount of balance. It would be easy to construct
a course with 18 of Florida's longest holes, but a good golf course has a balance of good short and long
holes…those with lots of water and those with tricky doglegs or deep bunkers. I've tried to create a standard
par-72 course, and to select holes from every corner of the state. And it goes without saying that these are
all courses the public can play.
Fort Lauderdale Area Beaches.
Twenty-three miles of warm, wide beaches and sparkling Atlantic Ocean water draw visitors from all around
the world. From Deerfield to Hallandale Beach, this area will appeal to every member of your family. Here
you'll find charming downtowns, funky shops and sophisticated restaurants, old-world elegance and, of
course, fantastic Florida condo vacation rental properties and beaches.
The new Four Seasons hotel, well-known Florida holiday rental, which opened in October, has a £1.15 million
collection of mostly Miami-based artists, the Trump International Sonesta, recently opened Florida holiday
rental, boasts 1,000 pieces of art worth £560,000, and The Raleigh hotel, landmark of
Florida holiday rental, even has its own "cultural attaché", the
charismatic Manajé, who plans to make The Raleigh a meeting place for intellectuals and artists.
Florida's Architecture.
Architecture in Florida is much more than beach homes and theme parks. The many layers of history that have
washed over the Florida landscape have left distinct styles of building.
Florida house rental and No. 1. New Course, Grand Cypress Resort
(www.grandcypress.hyatt.com, 407-239-3853) Orlando. Par 4, 362 yards.
Jack Nicklaus designed this homage to Scotland's famed Old Course at St. Andrews, and while it's tough to
recreate North Sea conditions in balmy central Florida, this first hole is a pretty faithful rendition.
Short and wide open, it's the second shot across the local variation of the Swilcan Burn that calls for
precision.
An Overview of the Florida Key house rental.
One of the perks of living in Miami is the sun, sand and surf. But where do you go to get away from it
all when you live in a palm-tree lined paradise like Miami? Only an hour's drive south you'll find the
fabulous Florida Keys, a world apart from the pace of Miami life. Their beaches,
Florida Key house rental areas, diving and fishing are among
the best in the world. This first in a series of articles about the Florida Keys and the Florida Key
house rental areas gives an overview and background of the islands.
Get the Feeling of the Latin Beat on your next Florida Key rental.
They're back. They are those friendly colorful birds at Parrot Jungle, Miami's oldest attraction. The
natural theme park reopened in 2003 with paths through 20 acres of newly planted rain forest, gardens,
talking parrots, pink flamingoes, such tropical wildlife kinkajous, as well as reptiles, and exotic
insects. Animals and birds take to the stage for shows throughout the day. Stand still long enough to
have your photo snapped with a parrot walking on your head or an anaconda slithering across your shoulder.
The entire park - rain forest, boulders, birds and all - moved 15 minutes east of the airport to Watson
Island and is easily reached from I-95 by taking I-395 (MacArthur Causeway) toward Miami Beach on your

Key Largo and the Florida Key rental home.
Even the name of Key Largo sparks thoughts of classic movies, black-and-white adventures and Humphrey
Bogart. In fact, you can ride the actual African Queen while you're there; it is docked in Key Largo.
Key Largo is known as the Diving Capital of the World, and it is an ideal romantic
Florida Key rental home destination for diving couples. The
Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park was the first underwater preserve in the United States. Combined with
the adjacent Key Largo National Marine Sanctuary, the dive spots are home to 55 types of coral and 500

Getting to your Florida luxury vacation rental.
Florida luxury vacation rental homes and Airports.
Originally carved out of scrubland in 1928 by Pan American Airlines, Miami International Airport (MIA) has
become 2nd in the United States for international passenger traffic and 10th in the world for total
passengers. Despite the heavy traffic to any Florida luxury vacation
rental, the airport is quite user-friendly and not as much of a hassle as you'd think. Before heading
to your Florida luxury vacation rental condo, you can change money or use your ATM card at Bank of America
of South Florida, located near the exit. Visitor information is available 24 hours a day at the Miami
International Airport Main Visitor Counter, Concourse E, second level (tel. 305/876-7000). Information is
also available at www.miami-airport.com. Because MIA is the busiest airport in South Florida, travelers
may want to consider flying into the less crowded Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (FLL)
(tel. 954/359-1200), which is closer to north Miami than MIA, or the Palm Beach International Airport
(PBI) (tel. 561/471-7420), which is about 1 1/2 hours from Miami.

Florida monthly rental. Below are some of the best ways to get away.
Florida monthly vacation rental and Best Place to See the Living Reef: Looe Key
Just off of Big Pine Key are the fabulous reefs of Looe Key. This 5.5-square-mile National Marine Sanctuary
is a protected underwater ecosystem. It is an undersea oasis reminiscent of big reef structures found
throughout the Bahamas; and was named after the HMS Looe, a British Man O' War that ran aground in 1744.
Tips To Feel Like a Local in No Time.
Hablan Español in Florida Oceanfront vacation rental properties?
Miami's population is predominantly Hispanic, so knowing a little Spanish goes a long way, especially when
talking to bilingual locals who may speak in "Spanglish" - part Spanish and part English in the same
sentence. Don't be surprised if a store clerk speaks to you in Spanish. This is especially true in Little
Havana. Politely say, "No hablo Español" and she'll switch to English. Better yet, bone up on your Español
before arriving for a little more fun.

Florida rental properties of South Beach -- The Art Deco District South Beach's 10 miles of beach are
alive with Florida rental properties and a frenetic, circus like
atmosphere and are center stage for a motley crew of characters, from eccentric locals, seniors, snowbirds,
and college students to gender benders, celebrities, club kids, and curiosity-seekers: Individuality is

I was back in my Florida rental property. Cruise ships to the
left, kayak rentals setting up to the right. An Ultralight seaplane seemed to guide my Jeep toward Key
Biscayne and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, an urban jewel. The park is special because of where it
is, tucked away from Florida rental property and civilization in an area with so many luxury cars that you
have to wonder if you get a new Mercedes when opening a local checking account. The Florida rental property
condos and couture end with the entrance to the park. South Beach may have its models and the occasional
topless European, and its Florida rental property, but Bill Baggs has guys who fish in water the color of
the Caribbean. It provides tranquility in a frenzied world.

Florida seasonal rental in Key Biscayne Miami's forested and secluded Key Biscayne is technically one of
the first islands in the Florida Keys. However, this island is nothing like its southern neighbors.

Florida Time Share Rental and Little Havana.
If you've never been to Cuba, just visit this small section of Miami and you'll come pretty close. The
sounds, tastes, and rhythms are very reminiscent of Cuba's capital city, and some even jokingly say you
don't have to speak a word of English to live an independent life here -- even street signs are in Spanish
and English.
