Florida is a popular destination for luxury vacations, offering a wide range of amenities and activities for travelers seeking a high-end experience. The state is known for its sunny beaches, including Miami Beach and Key West, which are home to high-end stores and upscale restaurants. Among them, you’ll find luxury Florida vacation rentals.
These rentals can range from luxury villas and apartments to beachfront homes and private islands. They often feature top-of-the-line amenities such as private pools, gourmet kitchens, and spacious living areas. Additionally, many luxury vacation rentals in Florida are located in prime locations, such as near beaches, golf courses, or theme parks, providing guests with easy access to the best attractions and activities in the area.
Note that most rentals in the Miami Beach area are condos or apartments, so we don’t include them in this article. But if you’re still interested, look at our list of Top Villas in Miami Beach next.

While there are many Florida luxury vacation rentals out there, the Solterra Resort 10 has to be one of the most popular ones. What we love the most about this villa is that it certainly knows how to stay on brand. Unlike others, the bedrooms here are all themed. Each modern bedroom is designed to have a theme of a global landmark. Spend each night in a different room, and you’ll feel like you’re traveling the world! But don’t be too charmed by the bedrooms, though, as the villa still has plenty of amenities for you to explore!
If you didn’t know, this vacation home is set inside a resort community. This means guests will have full (and certainly free) access to the resort clubhouse. There, you can find a resort-style pool, tennis courts, and many more. But you don’t have to walk far to have fun, though. The villa itself is equipped with a fun games room with arcade games and an indoor bowling alley for some friendly competition! As you can tell, this vacation rental focuses on entertainment, which means it’s not suitable for those who look for a tranquil getaway. But apart from that, there are plenty of lounge areas throughout the villa. We have no doubt that once you stay here, you’ll definitely want to come back!

And to keep everyone entertained, this mansion also comes with a home theater, games room, and playroom for kids.

Oozing modern flare, The Luxe Gaming Lair is another nice addition to our list of luxury vacation rentals in Florida. With plenty of entertaining options and top-notch amenities, even the most discerning travelers will be impressed by this rental home. The modern living area isn’t just spacious but also comfy, perfect for some family time. Apart from that, the wet bar makes it even better for get-togethers. Meanwhile, those who love cooking can prepare food in the gorgeous kitchen, which features granite countertops and a breakfast bar. Adjacent is a dining area for 12.
Moreover, this villa has six stunning bedrooms appointed on both floors, all of which feature premium bedding and en suite bathrooms. Our favorite has to be the master suite, though, as it boasts its own balcony. You should also take your kids to the games room! There, they’ll find an Xbox, PlayStation, arcade games, pool tables, and more. Also, feel free to watch a family-friendly movie in the 10-seat home theater. The patio is the place to be when you’re in the mood to relax under the sun. There’s a free-form pool, a jacuzzi, a gazebo bar, a summer kitchen, and even a life-size chess set! However, we think this rental is more suitable for adults only as many pieces of furniture are made of glass and there are not many open space areas for kids to run around.

- Kitchen: Yes (fully equipped, indoor and outdoor)
- Swimming Pool: Yes (equipped with wet bar)
