21 Airbnbs You'll Want To Book For Your Next Trip To Miami
1.A sailboat on Key Biscayne because dry land is overrated. Located literally right on the water, here you can sleep amongst actual sounds of waves lapping instead of your usual YouTube video "wave noises for sleep."
Bonus: the host also provides two kayaks to explore the gorgeous bay — just be mindful of the manatees!
Promising review: "Well worth every penny! We went out on the kayaks twice and bought food so we wouldn’t have to leave. Can’t wait to come back. This time of the year was excellent because the temperature was A1! Yayl is a sweetheart and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Great experience ??" –Shakyra
Price: $120/night
2.An apartment in Coconut Grove so you can enjoy a view of the city *and* the ocean from wayyyy up. Pro tip: grab a slice of Fireman Derek's award-winning-key lime pie or if a night out dancing is more your thing, check out the electronic music party series, Coconut Groove.
As a Miami native and resident, I consider Coconut Grove to be one of my favorite places in all of Miami. It's Greenwich Village vibes meets vintage architecture — truly one of a kind.
Promising review: "This place was so nice! Beautiful views, pool, so clean and everyone was helpful and nice. The room was comfortable and had everything that we needed. We had a great stay." –Dana
Price: $206/night
3.A private guesthouse that puts you within walking distance of the famous Little Havana. Grab some tostada and explore the historic area before lounging about in your own Cuban-themed little house!
Promising review: "Enrique’s place was fantastic. Bed was incredible and there is an A/C unit inside so you can have whatever comfortable temperature you want(which I appreciated). Cool little outdoor spot to sit outside. Also TV was pretty big! Would definitely stay again." –Derek
Price: $69/night
4.A farmhouse sitting directly on a real dragonfruit farm in Homestead so you can have a vacay literally off the beaten path. Remember that Facebook game Farmville? Well, get ready to spend your days on the land (and inside a modern farmhouse).
Just a bit outside Miami proper, you would be hard-pressed to find a farm in Miami. Homestead may not have ritzy clubs, but its open farmland, unique boutiques, and authentic Mexican cuisine put it on the map. Plus, if you're looking to do both Miami and the Keys, you're slightly closer to the beautiful islands in Homestead!
Promising review: "Magical place! The outdoor space is stunning… gardens, games, fire pit, multiple seating/lounging areas with views of the dragon fruit farm. Our kids made a game out of finding monarch chrysalises… they were everywhere! So beautiful. The indoor space is perfect for a family and had everything we needed. Complete with fresh eggs from the chickens. No one wanted to leave this oasis." –Sarah
Price: $250/night
5.A condo in Brickell that'll garner some serious Instagram-worthy views of the city. Between the endless amenities and restaurants on the ground floor and the modern interior of your vacation quarters, you may never want to leave.
Brickell is the place to be with its numerous bars, restaurants, clubs, soaring skyscrapers, and luscious waterways. In short, don't sleep on Brickell.
Promising review: "The place was amazing! Rodolfo is an awesome host who is extremely prompt in his responses and always goes the extra mile to help you. The view is absolutely breathtaking and the amenities are incredible. The spa/pool was my favorite! The pictures don’t even do the place justice. At first, I was mildly hesitant because of the price tag but it was well worth what you pay! I will DEFINITELY be staying at Rodolfo’s listing again. Best Miami Airbnb I have stayed in!" –Felipe
Price: $331/night
6.A bungalow located in a quiet neighborhood of Biscayne Park, so you can enjoy that lay-by-the-pool kind of vacay. Bonus: this place comes with just about every outdoor amenity you could want — pool, Jacuzzi, and animal rafts, oh my!
Miami is a bustling, populated area, so isolated enclaves like this are hard to locate. You're still only a few minutes away from the popular areas in town; however, feel free to avoid the traffic and just enjoy your Airbnb's lovely amenities like the gym and even an air fryer!
Promising review: "This was the perfect getaway spot for our quick stay in Miami before a cruise! Lali was terrific, had excellent communication, and it was the most charming place. We loved all the relaxing spots and attention to detail throughout! We’ll be back." –Angela
Price: $200/night
7.A Loveshack that is anything but ordinary making your Wynwood stay a memorable one. Enjoy the large loft with a contemporary flair that's within walking distance to numerous shops and restaurants.
Promising review: "One of my all-time favorite Airbnb stays... ever. The space is gorgeous, well-stocked, clean, and easy to access. Laiz was attentive and even helped me troubleshoot after I (stupidly) got stuck in the parking lot area without my fob! I can't wait to come back." –Rachel
Price: $275/night
8.A charming cottage in Miami Beach because you're entitled to sleep in and relax even in a city that doesn't sleep much. Just typing "charming cottage" makes me feel at peace.
Undoubtedly, Miami Beach is known as a place of partying, but the Beach also offers some pieces of tranquil suburbia as well. The one-bedroom cottage comes with lovely tropical furniture designed for maximum comfort and festive motifs.
Promising review: "What can I say, this place was perfect. Cute little studio, private entrance, quiet block, so close to all the action. You can tell how much attention to detail and care they put into the space. They went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. We are looking forward to returning. Highly recommended! 10/10" –Chris
Price: $87/night
9.An urban jungle in Downtown Miami so you can bring all that beautiful outdoor energy indoors. Relax with your own little interior forest and stunning furniture while you prepare for a night out on the town.
Not only does this home come complete with tons of indoor greenery, but it also has a hanging yoga hammock!! Need I say more?
Promising review: "The Urban Jungle is just that- a beautiful roomy/open little oasis complete with dozens of plants, a DISCO BALL, comfy bed and a wonderful balcony/nook area where we enjoyed our morning tea each day. Nothing was left to be desired, as we had everything we could have needed and more, great artwork too! Hats off to you, Luiz- thank you for making your home our home too- we would gladly visit again and again." –Rachelle
Price: $276/night
10.A Mediterranean retreat in Miami Shores boasting over 2,000 square feet of pure relaxation. While Miami isn't on the actual Mediterranean sea, you will undoubtedly feel the beachy vibes while sitting back on your very own lanai!
Nestled minutes away from Miami's hotspots, this gorg home offers relaxation day *and* night with a cozy lanai and an included barbecue. Or, if you so choose, how about taking a nice, relaxing bath a la the outdoor claw tub?
Price: $400/night
11.A rental unit because sometimes it's just nice to have an entire space to yourself. Situated near the Gables, this historic enclave is a beautiful strip of land whose bustling wedding boutiques and tasty restaurants are second to none.
Promising review: "I stayed for more than two months in this property. The unit and everything was clean, Sebastian was very helpful and flexible for the check-in and check-out. Kitchen fully equipped (cook wear, blender,..etc). The property is located at the heart of downtown Coral Gables, walkable for several restaurants and shops, very active pedestrian-friendly place. The unite is well decorated." –Mohammed
Price: $109/night
12.A high-rise apartment in the heart of downtown so you can vacay amongst some of the tallest buildings in Miami. You'll feel like royalty nestled on the deck of this 23rd floor space.
Promising review: "This may be one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve stayed in. Mia was super responsive, literally a text or phone call away. The apartment is on the 23rd floor so the views of Brickell are amazing. Clean is an understatement, and she provided us with snacks, drinks, and recommended a few spots we could head to being downtown. Would definitely recommend. Look no further." –Brandon
Price: $215/night
13.A condo on South Beach because the adage is true: it's not a Miami vacation if you don't hit up South Beach. And you might as well do it at a place that boasts easy beach access and a gorgeous solarium.
Obviously, your itinerary lacks any weight if you visit Miami without going to the beach roughly 100 times. Yet, getting to the gorgeous beaches isn't always the most accessible trek, which is why having an entire condo within walking distance to the beach is a must. Enjoy being two blocks away from literally everything South Beach has to offer – and contemporary furniture with a big, comfy bed isn't a bad thing either.
Promising review: "Location is great. Beach and restaurants are all within walking distance. The place is clean. Reception can store your luggage before check-in and after check-out. Response is immediate. Recommend." –Yu
Price: $112/night
14.A mansion in Pinecrest because when you want to live it up in the Magic City, it never hurts to rent a Lamborghini, party on a yacht, and, oh yeah, stay in a whole mansion. The eight-bedroom and six-and-a-half bathrooms have everything you could imagine: massive heated pool, tall royal palms, marble flooring, and one-of-a-kind furniture. Talk about luxury living.
Promising review: "This is THE ultimate Miami destination! I celebrated my 10yr anniversary with friends and family on New years eve. It was absolutely spectacular!! I'll look for other opportunities to be back here for sure!" –Toby
Price: $689/night
15.A mid-century home in Little Havana with a "Florida Room" that you can (and should!) take full advantage of. Common in Little Havana, these tiny rooms are attached to the larger home and are designed to keep a healthy supply of sunlight and fresh air constantly circulating.
Promising review: "All pictures are accurate! They have an amazing place. This Airbnb is perfect for a couples’ vacation. It’s fully furnished with all the amenities you’d need in an apartment. Really felt like home for the week that I stayed" –Erwin
Price: $122/night
16.A two-story loft in South Beach that'll have enough gorgeous views of tropical palm trees and the bustling cityscape to turn any snowbird into a resident. And can we talk about that natural lighting?
Promising review: "Ezekiel is a wonderful host.. so warm and friendly, and very helpful with any questions we had. His space is beautiful, very modern and stylish. And in a great neighborhood, within walking distance to beaches, restaurants, and grocery (Publix and Target). Thanks again Ezekiel!" –Evan
Price: $185/night
17.A luxe villa near Golden Glades that may just turn your vacation into a staycation. We certainly wouldn't judge if you hit snooze on your flight reminder while enjoying that big, cozy bed or spending a little extra time in the tub.
Promising review: "The house is big enough and spacious master bed and bath is really nice and the additional bedrooms and bathroom are too. Plenty of room nice decorations, host was also very communicative." –Shevonne
Price: $390/night
18.A tiny house on wheels in the Upper East Side with enough bohemian aesthetic to make you feel like a true nomad. The home is painted and furnished in so many bright colors that it will be almost impossible not to smile.
This quirky Airbnb is under a 100-year-old oak tree and is every bit as unique — but also totally cozy — as you would expect. Check out the paisley graffitied deck, endless natural lighting, tropical coloring in every room, and comfy bed.
Promising review: Veronica and Kat's tiny house is every bit as adorable as the pictures! We loved our one night stay and hope to return again sometime. We loved the outdoor space, the abundance of plants and shade in the backyard, and the well-stocked kitchen and bathroom. Veronica responded quickly to our questions, and we enjoyed the neighborhood and proximity to other areas of interest. This is a great place to stay! –Beth
Price: $99/night
19.A condo on Miami Beach that lets you gaze at breathtaking ocean views from the 11th floor without having to jet off to some faraway island. Bring a friend (or several!) and bask in the blue that is the Miami waters. And because it's Miami, you obviously have access to a heated pool, Jacuzzi, and gym.
Promising review: "Beautiful, comfortable and immaculate. We will definitely look to stay again! Andres was a wonderful and communicative host." –JoAnn
Price: $200/night
20.A guesthouse in North Miami that's the perfect blend of luxury living and a tropical getaway. The earthy wood paneling throughout the home is a perfect contrast to the lovely aquatic blue furniture.
I love staying at guesthouses when I use Airbnb. You have a quaint, tiny home all to yourself with the security of knowing the owner is just a few steps away to help in case of any emergency. This little residence is garnished in lovely aquatic blue furniture and walls that will truly make you think you're vacaying in a tropical paradise (which, I guess, you are).
Promising review: "We were in Miami for my son's football tournament and the initial Airbnb was nothing like what we booked so last minute I found this gem! We were the very first guests for this location and the stay was great! The Place was clean and decorated very nicely (exactly as the pictures shown). The hosting couple was readily available and more than willing to accommodate! Centrally located to a lot especially one of my fav eating spots, “the Licking.” Would def stay here again!" —Takia
Price: $123/night
21.And a simple home, specifically called "Casa Ni?a," that'll let you experience Coconut Grove as it was meant to be — in Spanish style. Enjoy a lovely barbeque outside or order take-out and relax in the colorful hammock. Both sound like vacation heaven.
The homes in Coconut Grove are some of the oldest, most unique structures in Miami. The area is revered for its groovy personality and was a cultural hotspot in the '60s and '70s. This Airbnb has lovely Spanish tile and all-around warm coloring akin to a ripe mango.
Promising review: "Ana's place is just as advertised...a clean, quiet oasis in the Grove. It's adorable and has a great little backyard where you can chill in the hammock and enjoy your morning coffee. Check-in was easy, and Ana was great about getting in touch. We'd definitely stay with Ana again!" —Larry
Price: $229/night
