Description Floridian Bliss: North Miami

Just a twenty-minute drive from Miami Beach, this home is a tropical oasis in the city – you might not even need the beach. The outdoor area is the big draw here, where you can enjoy barbecues under the Tiki hut. Meanwhile, the pool area, shaded by palm trees and other tropical plants, is perfect for cooling off with a cocktail. Indoors is light and the well-equipped kitchen provides an alternative to eating out, though two guests will be on the sofa bed if you're a full house. In addition to Miami Beach, you'll also find parks and golf courses a short drive away. – with three parking spots, it's worth having a car or two here.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*There are two bathrooms for eight guests here, and one is an ensuite.
*We recommend hiring a car or using taxis to get the most out of your stay, rather than relying on public transport. There’s free parking for up to three cars on the driveway, though you won't have access to the garage.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
