Florida
Beach House Rentals
All
along the coast you'll find great Florida beach rentals. With about 1200 miles
of coastline and almost 700 miles of beaches, Florida has more beach house
rentals than any other state. From estates to cottages; from downtown to the
boonies and all price ranges, it's not hard to find your vacation paradise at
Florida beach rentals. Pick a coast - Atlantic or Gulf - and plan for a
memorable vacation.
You
can find your oceanfront dream, golf
vacation, family getaway or personal paradise in a beach rental. Florida
beach rentals will usually have their own grounds and many are planted and
landscaped in tropical themes, enhancing your stay. Think of tall palm trees
with fronds swaying in the ocean breeze, flanked by flowering bushes and lush
green shrubs, with you in the middle just yards from the sandy seashore. Here
you can collect shells, sun bathe, fish and swim from dawn 'til dark just steps
from your own bungalow. At your Florida beach rental, you'll be
coaxed to sleep by sounds of the surf and awaken to gentle morning sea breezes.
Few pleasures in life measure up to an early morning barefoot stroll on cool
sands. Sunrises and sunsets can be spectacular.
These
oceanfront beauties can sometimes be rented by the night but most Florida beach
rentals are for extended stays of a week or more. Rentals for the month, 2
months or even for an entire season are not uncommon. For many, these long
durations make it necessary for them to bring along their pets and while pets
are acceptable at many beach house rentals, at most they are not. In any case,
virtually all pet friendly rentals require
that you discuss the keeping of pets at the rental. Usually a "pet
deposit" for damages will apply and sometimes an extra cost upping the
rates. Be aware also that many townships ban pets on the beach and/or have
strict waste pick-up rules with accompanying fines.
Smoking
is little tolerated at most Florida beach rentals. Longer stays can entice one
to break the rules and smoke inside but remember that security deposits are at
risk! Hurricanes and adverse conditions, like Red Tide or excessive seaweed left
on the beach, can affect the quality of a beach vacation. Negative perceptions
of property fitness and neighborhood locations cause grievous aggravations for
some renters. In case these situations may affect you, it's always good to check
the refund policy of the rental before committing. Parking is not normally a
problem with Florida beach rentals but many communities have ordinances
restricting camper and boat parking outside. If you're towing, check before you
go.
Florida
Beachfront Condo Rentals
If
you don't need the more intimate feelings inspired by a Florida beach rental,
try Florida Beachfront Condo Rentals. There are selections from high
rise, multi-story beachfront condos that allow a bird's eye view out over the
Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico to more cozy one or two story condos on
secluded beaches. Many Florida beachfront
condo rentals are in gated, secure communities where you can stroll manicured
grounds in the evenings or view ocean sunrises and sunsets in the pleasant
company of others in enhanced, common areas. Some even provide access to the
many amenities of the condominium complex which might include pools, exercise
rooms and golf. While all this might make it sound like a resort, it is
important to check thoroughly which extras you may have access to and at what
possible cost because while you may rent the owner's unit, the condo association
may prohibit guest use of many or all facilities. Parking at some condos can
also be a problem, particularly for more than one vehicle or a towed camper or
boat. If space is a consideration, be sure to ask for the square footage of the
condo; the number of bedrooms will not give a good approximation of size.
Stay
and Play
Through
links on our pages you may not only find a Florida beach rental or other place

spend some time communing with nature. Some great day-trips have been planned
for you. See manatees, porpoises, alligators, and an abundance of local wildlife

times. Bring your camping gear to Florida Beach Rentals and stay in some of our
state parks while you are here; or if roughing it is not for you, call ahead and
book a cabin. Either way it'll be an experience you'll not soon forget!
