We based our comparison of Miami Beach vacation rentals and hotels in Miami Beach on units of the same price. Your typical small South Beach hotel is normally located on Collins Avenue or on Ocean Drive. Collins and Ocean Drive are the busiest streets in Miami Beach. They are not the most tranquil by definition, specifically during the weekend when traffic tends to get heavy. Historic Miami Beach hotels are mostly 2-story buildings with small lobbies and an average of 20 to 30 rooms. Each of the historic Miami Beach hotels stands against the next, blocking views and are sometimes a bit suffocating, especially with such small rooms. The average room in the historic Miami Beach hotels is around 150 square feet. The advantage is that historic Miami Beach hotels are right in the middle of the action and half a block from the beach. Small historic Miami Beach hotels do not usually provide any amenities, restaurants, pools or beach chairs.
We analyzed a 1 bedroom Miami Beach vacation rentals apartment in the L’ Etoile building. L’ Etoile is a 4-unit Miami Beach vacation rentals building surrounded by tropical landscaping and located on a quiet street. It was originally a villa but is now fully updated and offers parking as well as a wonderful pool. L’ Etoile is within 2 minutes walking distance from Lincoln Road and 6 minutes to the beach. Miamihabitat.com, the management company, will lend you bicycles to facilitate getting around the Art Deco District. The 500 square foot Miami Beach vacation rentals apartment is fully equipped and furnished with everything you need including a full kitchen and a convertible sofa in the living room to accommodate 2 extra people.
You can stay in a hotel or an apartment for the same price. We know both kinds very well and we believe that Miami Beach vacation rentals bring superior value. Analyzing the reviews of historic Miami Beach hotels on the new Travelpost website, we see we are not the only ones. People are rather unhappy with historic Miami Beach hotels and rate them an average of 2.04 out of 5 (see report).

Today’s travelers are searching for all possible ways to reduce travel costs. Being aware and following some simple travel tips can really make a difference. Make phone calls wisely. Do not surprise yourself with an extended phone bill with all sorts of roaming charges and extra fees. Below are some good ways to avoid this:
Call via computer

Google’s Gmail customers can now video conference for free with other Gmail users. The quality is impeccable.
Calling from a phone
Cell phones continue to become more sophisticated offering more and more features but unfortunately, roaming costs are here to stay. Here are a few things you can do to reduce those costs:
Get a local cell phone upon arrival at your destination. Calls are expensive but less than if were to you your cell phone from Miami in a foreign destination like Venice, Italy. The phone is best used to receive calls or to make local calls. Some phone companies such as Metro PCS in South Florida allow you to make unlimited local phone calls.
