Miami Luxury House Rentals

Known for its glitz and its glamour, jet-set dwellers, beautiful beaches and luxury house rentals, Miami is no stranger to the high life. In fact. #VacationGoals might just come to mind when you think about this popular luxury destination!

But, for a city that demands ‘go big or go home,’ there’s only one way to visit – and that’s in style.

In order to nail your five-star vacation, there’s a few essentials and certain etiquettes to consider before booking a luxury break, quite unlike any other.

Villa Melissa

1. Luxury Living all the Way

Locals, guests and tourists may have a shared appreciation for the finer things in life. This means decadence at every touchpoint.

Start with a luxury Miami rental, such as Villa Melissa. This spectacular modern home is furnished with the latest amenities, delivered to the high spec. Its large kitchen is the perfect spot for hiring a local chef to cook up a treat for dinner parties and soirees, with no expense spared.

With two parking spots, don’t miss the opportunity to hire only the very best sports cars to show off your drive-way; a Bentley convertible should do the trick.

Villa Contenta

2. Billionaire Beach Bunker

When Kanye West splashed out on a million dollar ‘beach bunker’ on Miami beach, it made global headlines. To follow suit, you’ll need more than a Miami beach villa; you’ll need a mansion masterpiece!

With seven huge bedrooms, Villa Contenta is up there with some of the most desirable and breath-taking properties in the city. This sprawling estate spans over 11,000 sq ft, putting Kim and Kanye’s 4,700 sq ft four-bedroom property firmly in the shade.

Villa Valentina

3. Decadence and Opulence

By its own admission, Miami is not an understated city. Here, decadence comes in great packages. For the full five-star experience, you need to eat, drink and dwell like an A-lister.

There’s endless Michelin-star restaurants to sample, as well as high-end watering holes and private clubs for evening entertainment.

Back in your luxury house rental, Miami is best enjoyed with a chic abode. Villa Valentina is the perfect answer to this, with its symphony of design, prime waterfront views, exquisite modern art masterpieces, and a stunning vanishing-edge pool to relax in. It’s Miami living at its best.

Villa Kayla

4. Yachts to do

If you’re going to nail your Miami ‘vacay’, there’s one pre-requisite above all others; you’re
going to need a yacht! What’s more, you’re going to need a dock to moor it.

In the many mansions for rent, Miami is home to a number with private docks, like Villa Kayla. This stunning contemporary property sleeps 14 people, with floor to ceiling natural light, showing off its prime location in all its magnificence.

Boasting waterfront views, this elite property is one of the most in-demand, for those wanting only the very best from their break. It’s extremely popular during the International Yacht Show, so advance booking is advised.

Villa Siri

5. Keep it Exclusive

While Luxury Miami rentals are dotted all over the city, prestigious residences are harder to come by. As such, properties located in and around the island’s waterways are some of the most popular in well-heeled circles.

Tucked away in the Venetian Causeway, Villa Siri offers all the trimmings of five-star luxury, in the privacy of its own island. Within swinging distance of the local golf club, and an Uber ride from the golden stretches of sand, it has all the hallmarks of exclusivity about it. Not to mention its private heated pool and six en-suite bedrooms.

Villazzo offers a wide selection of Miami luxury house rentals for a five-star get-away. With outstanding customer service and an unrivaled portfolio of properties, you’re guaranteed an unforgettable stay.
