Top Spots For A Cabin Weekend Near South Florida

The South Florida area generates a lot of tourism money because of the beaches, the nightlife and other great things to do. Working professionals also enjoy many of the amenities but later have to drive home, possibly a long distance, wasting gas and time. A "middle ground" for working professional natives and tourists to save money but still enjoy the area is to rent a house. According to publications like USA Today and Independenttraveler.com, a vacation rental offers more square footage for the same price as a hotel room. The kitchen is always open and the movies are free, not pay-per-view. Here are five businesses that rent houses in the South Florida area.
