Spending your vacation in Miami Beach might require you to look for other accommodation aside from the usual hotels, inns, and resorts. It might be a good idea to expand your repertoire to include Miami Beach luxury rentals to give you the best accommodation for your vacation, giving you the best vacation experience that the city has to offer.

Miami Beach luxury rentals range from spacious single-family homes to luxurious high-end beachfront condos. If you're local travel agent can't give you good selections on these accommodations, you can easily do your own search through the Internet. Here is a simple guide to help you find the best ones to cater to your vacation wants and needs.

Pick a Location That Fits Your Vacation

Practicality with the details is essential to finding the best Miami Beach luxury rentals for your vacation South Florida. If you're aiming to spend most of your time at the beach then it's a good idea to pick beachfront luxury condos since you practically have the beach just outside your doorstep. You might also want to think about looking for a luxury home rental near recreational and entertainment facilities so you won't have to travel far just to have fun. Since you're looking for one online, you might want to utilize maps to give you an idea on the perfect location to pick a home rental in to fit your vacation needs.

Compare Prices - Luxury Homes Are Expensive

There is a good reason why Miami Beach luxury rentals are expensive -- they are a lot better than hotels in terms of facilities, suite accommodations, and services. If you're scouting for a home to rent in Miami Beach for your vacation then it is a good idea to compare them out first before making the final choice.

Don't compare luxury suites according to price. Make sure that the facilities and accommodations fit well with your living standards, and if it does, see to it that the rates are affordable especially if you're planning to stay more than a week. In most cases, you can go for monthly rates instead of daily or weekly to cut down on expenses.

Check Out Vacation Packages

There are some Miami Beach Luxury rentals out there that offer vacation packages for more days at lesser rates. These are often deals including monthly packages for suites, use of facilities, and services. You can find them in many luxury condos in Miami Beach.

Del Mar voters reject TOT extension on short-term rentals

Del Mar voters on Tuesday rejected a measure to extend the city's 11.5 percent transient occupancy tax to short-term vacation rentals.

Proposition J, which failed by a margin of 16 percentage points, would have allowed Del Mar to join the neighboring cities of San Diego, Solana Beach, Encinitas, Carlsbad, and Oceanside, among others, as those who tax homes being rented to tourists the same way they do hotels.

There were 981 Del Mar voters who cast their ballots with 572 voting against the proposition and 409 for it, or 58.31 percent opposed versus 41.69 percent in favor.
City staff conservatively estimated an annual revenue stream of $181,000, based on 75 short-term rentals going for a rate of $2500 per week in the peak travel season had the proposition passed. Critics of the measure said it would cost the city too much to enforce, and also discourage tourists from patronizing area restaurants and businesses.

Solana Beach voters on Tuesday rejected a business tax that would have helped the city make up for a roughly $600,000 loss in sales tax revenue from two fiscal years ago.

Proposition L, which failed by a margin of 14 points called for a six-tier business tax model based upon gross earnings made within the city of Solana Beach. Businesses would have had the option of paying a flat rate based on their earnings, or a multiplier of their gross receipts.

There were 2,451 Solana Beach residents who voted, with 1,407, or 57.41 percent, opposed to the proposition and 1,044, or 42.59 percent, in favor.

The tax was ultimately expected to generate roughly $500,000 annually for Solana Beach, but the city council decided to impose it at 50 percent in at least its first year as a way to help businesses cope with the recession.

Businesses would have had until Oct. 15 to pay their portion of the tax for this fiscal year, which will cost anywhere from $25 to $837.50 based on the phased-in rate. Solana Beach remains one of only three cities in San Diego County not to imposing this type of tax.
