I’ve always liked Miami best with a little room to spread out. I grew up coming here on family vacations, then came back for solo escapes, girls’ trips, and romantic weekends by the beach. Somehow, I still find myself falling for the city’s distinct combination of pastel Art Deco buildings, swaying palm trees, warm ocean air, and vibrant neighborhoods that feel like their own little universes.
Hotels can of course be fabulous here, but there’s something especially fun about having your own Miami address for a few days. A Miami Airbnb gives you the space to make coffee in your pajamas, open the doors to a pool or garden, pile everyone onto a sofa after the beach, and actually unpack instead of living out of a suitcase. I’m talking a leafy Coconut Grove hideaway, a glossy Brickell apartment with skyline views, or a colorful family house with a pool that has the potential to make leaving for dinner feel like a chore.
These are the Airbnbs I’d genuinely want to stay at in Miami—from breezy beach bases to character-filled homes that make a weekend away feel like a proper escape.

Neighborhood: Coconut Grove
Number of guests: 4
Bed and bath: 2 bedrooms, 2 bathsThis Coconut Grove home is nothing short of magical. With an indoor-outdoor shower surrounded by orchards, whimsical touches of color across plush furniture, and a backyard seating area underneath swaying palms, this pad is begging to be your very own temporary Miami oasis. Lucky for you, it’s just a five-minute walk to the lush parks, hot restaurants, and a slew boutique or luxe shops to fill your time.
Across the two bedrooms, you’ll have lots of space; not to mention, a soaking tub in the primary bedroom surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can soak in all the palm-tree-green glory around you. Previous guests gush about how helpful the host is, who has assisted with everything from what artist studios to visit to kitesurfing lessons to where to find the best bites nearby.

Neighborhood: Little Havana
Number of guests: 12
Bed and bath: 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathsTucked in the vibrant pocket of Little Havana, this large, white stucco house has ample space for your group to relax, play, and connect. Ever-so-light and airy, you’ll find this home is all about sunshine–from chasing rays when barbecuing out back, to letting the outside in via its very many windows. Three of the bedrooms boast one bed (two with queens, one with a king)—while the fourth is home to two double beds, more ideal for kids or a duo that doesn’t mind sharing the room. In fact, it’s group-friendly in many more ways than one, from a bright blue pool table and lots of board games to a big dining table and cozy living room for spending time together inside.
When you do wish to explore, the home is just steps from Little Havana’s iconic Calle Ocho, known for its lively street life, open-air domino games at Máximo Gómez Park, hand-rolled cigar shops, authentic Cuban coffee windows (or ventanitas), and the star-studded Calle Ocho Walk of Fame.

Neighborhood: Brickell
Number of guests: 6
Bed and bath: 2 bedrooms, 2 bathsFor a fresh base in one of Miami’s most coveted neighborhoods, this newer Brickell apartment nails the sweet spot between an Airbnb and a boutique hotel. The apartment comes dressed with Frette linens, plush mattresses, Malin + Goetz toiletries, a kitchenette, in-unit washer and dryer, and a 75″ smart TV with Bluetooth soundbar. Then there’s the building itself: a lobby café, wine bar with covered terrace, gourmet market, and rooftop pool deck with hot tub and cabanas, open from dawn to dusk. If you do happen to have a rental or a car yourself, valet parking is $49 per night plus tax, with in-and-out privileges (self-parking isn’t available). And though it sleeps six, capping your group at four guests will be more comfortable, as two would otherwise have to use the living room’s sofa bed.

There’s also a private artificial beach leading down to the lake, so you can go straight from poolside lounging to a dip in the water. The listing says it sleeps up to 16, but six bedrooms make 12 a much more comfortable number. (And two bedrooms open directly onto the patio—so call your dibs early!)
