Short-Term Rentals

Vacation & Short-Term Rentals in Miami

Renting a Miami condo by the month or the season works differently than a standard annual lease. Before you book across Brickell, Downtown, South Beach, Aventura, Sunny Isles and beyond, here is what to know about pricing, taxes, and fees — plus where to start your search.

What to know before you rent

Five things that make short-term Miami rentals different from an annual lease.

Rental time frame

Short-term rentals are typically leased by the month. Many guests only vacation for a couple of weeks but lease the full month — and once you compare 14 nights of hotel rooms against a monthly rental, a full apartment usually wins on both cost and comfort.

Seasonal pricing

Prices you see on most sites are annual-lease rates. Short-term rates are higher — often 25–50% above the published yearly price — and climb further during the high season from November through April.

Resort tax (13%)

The City of Miami Beach charges a 13% resort tax on all rentals shorter than six months. It applies on top of the rental price, so factor it into your budget when comparing Miami Beach units.

Application fee

Most condominiums require a non-refundable application fee to process your short-term lease. This is usually in the range of US$100–200 per application.

Cleaning fee

There is almost always an exit cleaning fee. Once you depart, a cleaning team fully services the unit so it is presentable for the next tenant. Ask upfront so there are no surprises at checkout.
