Florida vacation rentals

Vacation rentals in Florida by owner — compare homes, condos and cabins, message verified hosts and book direct. See every charge before you pay.

Florida stretches from the white-sand beaches of Clearwater and Destin on the Gulf Coast to South Beach in Miami, with Walt Disney World in Orlando, the Florida Keys, and Everglades National Park filling out the middle. Families head to the theme parks of Orlando, couples book beachfront condos in Naples or Sarasota, and groups rent waterfront homes along the Emerald Coast near Fort Walton Beach and Panama City. Houfy connects travelers directly with local hosts across Florida. Browse vacation rentals statewide - beachfront condos, lakefront cabins, pool homes, and Gulf-view villas - all bookable direct with the owner. The dry season from November through April draws the most visitors, though summer rates are lower and the Atlantic coast sees less rain than the Gulf side.

Our stay was perfect, beautifully decorated studio steps from a pristine beach with amazing hospitality from Pam.
The location is perfect. Such a short walk to beautiful and clean beach - and quiet. Bed was very comfortable, and everything smelled CC lean and fresh. Although amenities, shops and dining were close, we had little reason to eat out. The home is beautifully decorated and maintained, and has everything we needed. Pam’s hospitality and attention to detail are impressive - we’ve not experienced anything comparable. All directions are thorough, complete and well organized. We are also appreciative of Pam and Mark’s flexibility when our original flights were disrupted. This was a very enjoyable 7-day get-away. Highly recommended!

I can't say enough great things about our stay. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. We loved having the 6 passenger golf cart...it's all you need to get around 30A. Mitch was so great to work with and was always so quick to get back to me when we had a question. Would definitely come back here!

Amazing condo in Destin Fl
Thank you Yavuz for a wonderful condo to stay in while our family was on vacation. The place came with many amenities that you just would not get staying in a hotel. The beds were super comfortable. The view is unbelievably beautiful. The kids loved having their own bathroom. Pelican Beach was overall a great place to stay with two pools, a hot tub, a cafe, many grills, a tiki bar and a private beach area. The condo is located near many fun things to do like the water park located directly across the street. The condo supplied two chairs and an umbrella for us to use on the beach, which kept us from having to spend money on rentals. There are beach toys for the little ones. Looking forward to staying here again in the future.

Fantastic large family home & pool in the right location minutes to Disney & amenities
Our family had a fabulous reunion at Villa by the Castle. With 6 adults and 4 children we needed a large space that was fully equipped. This property had it all. The owners Steve and Sandy had excellent communication from first contact to check out which was very reasuring. There was a large welcome package waiting for us at check in so we didn’t have to rush to the store for essentials. Cleaning supplies, laundry and dish detergent was added bonuses. The house itself was clean and comfortable. Beds were comfortable with extra linens and lots of towels for the pool. The salt water pool was warm and the hot tub was a great hit with everyone. I appreciated that there was no extra charge for the pool heat. We spent hours in it every day. Two of our kids learnt to swim during our stay. Within a short walk, was the community pool with water slides for the kids, also a huge hit. The games room in the house was used by all with air hockey being the favourite. Although the we didn’t use much of it, there was lots of equipment for babies and young children. The stroller was very handy during our days at Disney. We cooked most of our meals so the extremely well equipped kitchen was greatly appreciated. There are lots of dishes, glasses, pots, pans & cooking equipment. We even made 3 birthday cakes using the equipment on hand. The house is just a few miles from Disney and we were even provided with a shortcut to the front gate. LEGO land was only 35 minutes away and was loved by all. Walmart is really close and all other major chains are nearby as are a variety of restaurants if you want to eat out. We stayed 12 days and we still didn’t do everything we wanted to do. I highly recommend Villa by the Castle; it is a great value and is the best equipped rental home I have ever stayed in. It provided a wonderful home base for our families and we hope to return again. ChrisB and family

We had a great stay! The hosts were great with communication and touched base with us during our stay to ensure everything was going well for us. The details given prior were very specific and appreciated. The cottage was definitely adorable. It was clean and comfortable with plenty of amenities. No issues with street parking and the neighborhood was very cute. Quick 15 minute drive to the beach and plenty of shopping/grocery stores nearby. We especially loved the outdoor sitting area with the table and hammock - was lovely starting the morning out there enjoying a delicious cup of coffee! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in St. Pete’s!

Patti, Ron and Chad saved me from a different Airbnb! I had stayed here once before and was able to book and get in quick when I needed it. Lightning fast responses. My stay was FANTASTIC! I always love staying here. It genuinely feels just like home and I can honestly only say that about a handful of Airbnbs out of 30+ stays over the last 2+ years. All my stays are usually pleasant but there is something about Patti’s place that puts it a cut above the rest. To start, they are always looking for ways to make their place better for EVERY guest. Your stay here MATTERS to them. I literally baked cookies with some of the other guests and we all sat around chit chatting. Usually when you are in a house with other guests it can feel like a hotel very quickly. That’s not the case here. Patti knows exactly how to foster a wonderful houseful environment. Special talent! Not to be taken for granted. Specifics about this room: The set up is unique. I love it! It’s VERY spacious. There is a shower and sink in the bathroom inside the room then there is a half bath “outside” of the room where the toilet is but it is all YOURS. There is a divider between your area and the rest of the house so long story short it is a private bedroom and private bathroom, but the set up is unique. It can definitely be an added bonus to have the toilet outside of your room. Obvious reasons. Lol There is also a PRIVATE ENTRANCE available. But you can also come through the house. Your choice whenever you feel like switching things up. The room is the closest bedroom to the house entrance. I have stayed in MANY Airbnb’s in this area, this would be my number 1 place to stay in this area. Hands down! Pick a room. Don’t wait. :)

I’ve been using Airbnb for two years, and this is the first time I’ve wanted to leave a review because this stay was truly amazing. Patti, her son Chad, and her husband were all incredibly kind, friendly, and easy to talk to. They made me feel like I was part of their family. They even made me Mickey Mouse-shaped pancakes, which was such a sweet and thoughtful surprise. The room was also very clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. Everything was well-prepared and organized, and you can really feel how much they care about their guests. I was so happy chatting with them during my stay because they were always thoughtful and genuinely caring. They made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. I highly recommend this place. You definitely won’t make a wrong choice. Patti and her family are truly warm and welcoming, and this has been the best Airbnb experience I’ve had so far.

We walked into an apartment that was impeccably clean and so inviting. Mark was great at communicating even before we arrived. Specific directions made it easy, I didn't have to think about how things would operate. When I did have a question, I received a prompt response.Amenities provided made it easy to travel light-shampoo, conditioner, body wash, blow drier, laundry supplies.The kitchen was minimally but efficiently stocked. We had everything needed to make meals when desired. The grill with tools, as well as charcoal, was great too. Coffee, creamer, sugar- all there. The mattress was extra firm and the pillows thick and plush. The stairs were a bit steep so if you have knee or hip problems, request a lower unit. Great location made for easy access to the beach, downtown, visiting family , exploring... There are so many trails and sanctuaries/reserves. A place I would recommend.
