Homestead Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals
Homestead
is located at the southern-most tip of the state, south of Miami and at the entrance to the Florida Keys. With an abundance of activities for the whole family including an underwater park and alligator farm, Homestead has small town charm combined with big city advantages. Biscayne Bay National Park is also located at Homestead and offers scuba diving, snorkeling, boating, fishing, glass bottom boat rides and other activities. Located within Biscayne Park are the longest stretch of mangrove trees left on the east coast of Florida, along with clear shallow waters and a spectacular living coral reef. There is no place else in the country where you can enjoy tranquil lagoons and sandy beaches, or see such rare wildlife as Florida panthers, alligators and water birds of every kind. Other local attractions include the Homestead/Miami Speedway and the Homestead Sports Complex. Just a few miles to the north is the city of Miami, the “Gateway to the Americas,” which offers many international tourist attractions. Just minutes away from Homestead are the magnificent Florida Keys and Everglades National Park. With so much to offer, Homestead is quickly becoming a prime vacation destination for tourists to South Florida.
The Florida Keys including Key Largo, Islamorada and Tavernier, enjoy some of the best weather in the world - even in summertime. The hottest day on record was 97 degrees, but those kinds of temperatures are few and far between. There is no urban sprawl to radiate the sun's heat - just lush, natural vegetation, plus the islands are surrounded by cooling ocean waters. Thunderstorms are possible late May through October, but they rarely stick around all day to ruin outdoor plans. In fact, the Keys receive the least rain of anyplace in the state. Winter is delightful and rain is minimal during these months. You will never see a cold front in the Florida Keys in winter - just warm days and mild evenings. The hurricane season peaks in mid-September and officially runs through November, but direct hits are rare for the Keys.
