With miles and miles of gorgeous coastline, South Florida should be ground zero for folks in search of an ocean-facing property to book for their next vaycay. The selection is as varied as the region's restaurants, bars and shopping, and prices are just as hit or miss.

You can easily blow a wad of cash on an exclusive condo on a private island that overlooks South Beach. But there are also plenty of affordable gems on the water if you know where to look—which we do. Ready for that beachy escape? Maximize your time in the glorious sun and on the warm, golden sand when you book one of these beachfront Airbnbs in Miami. Now, where did you put those sunnies…

You asked for beachfront views, we'll give you beach views and then some with this swanky apartment in Downtown Miami. Decorated in golden and sandy tones inspired - no doubt - by the glitz and glamour of bayside, it's big enough to sleep three guests and is just a mere few steps away from a variety of cool food spots.

The real icing on top is that there's free private parking.
