Coral Gables Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals
Coral Gables
is located in the southern Miami region between Miami Beach and Florida City near the Atlantic seacoast. George Merrick created Coral Gables, or “The City Beautiful,” in the 1920s, as one of Florida’s first planned communities. The homes were built in a Mediterranean style along lush, tree lined streets that opened onto beautiful carved plazas, many with fountains as a centerpiece. With safe, quiet neighborhoods, Coral Gables maintains a high quality of life. It is known as the fine dining capital of South Florida, and is home to several special attractions. The Fairchild Tropical Gardens is an 83-acre botanical garden that features a rain forest, guided walking tours and a conservatory. Matheson Hammock Park is a man-made atoll pool that is separated from Biscayne Bay by a walkway. Trails meander through the park among native shrubs and virgin forest. A boat ramp, picnic areas and bathhouse are also available in the park. The Lowe Art Museum, which is located on the University of Miami campus in Coral Gables, features Renaissance paintings and furniture, as well as 20th century works of art. Many other activities are available to choose from in Coral Gables, including golf, tennis, fishing, sailing, shopping and the beautiful beaches of south Florida are just minutes away.
South Florida, in the Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, Coral Gables area, has the only sub tropic climate in the United States, other than Hawaii. This region is exposed to daytime onshore breezes and enjoys comfortable temperatures during most of the year. Although the temperature is relatively moderate, the combination of the temperature and high humidity can be uncomfortable from May through September. However, cooling ocean breezes help to modify the climate. In fact, it actually has fewer very hot days each summer than does the northern part of the state. In wintertime, it is one of the warmest places in the U.S. mainland, with sunny days and balmy nights. Most rain falls in summer, with frequent but brief, heavy thunderstorms. Hurricane season is generally August through October, with most occurring in September.
