 1. Get a taste for modern American cuisine There's more to American food than 24-hour diners and burgers. Here, local food is fresh, delicious and different. In the South Beach area, Barton G serves fabulous dishes in theatrical ways. Their popcorn shrimp and grilled sea bass comes in a brown paper bag, superb Caesar salad comes complete with a cheesegrater, and for the grand finale a plume of cotton candy reminiscent of Dame Edna's wig is served. For those who prefer a light meal, the hip hangout Segafredo is a great option. Here, you can eat tasty sandwiches, salads, carpaccios and desserts while lounging on comfy upholstered chairs and listening to a soundtrack of cool lounge music all day long.  2. Experience the life of the party at Carnaval Miami Miami needs no excuse to party; from the traditional to the tacky, the city is fast on its feet when it comes to celebrations. For ten days each spring (in early March), Latino Miami struts its stuff with a vibrant array of beauty pageants, sports, concerts and international foods at Carnaval Miami. There are culinary competitions, galas and an upscale Latin jazz festival. The grand finale is Calle Ocho, a 23-block street festival in Little Havana, which is the largest block party in the world. Over a million people watch live entertainment on 30 stages featuring salsa, merengue and Caribbean music.  3. Dive into a corner of Europe at the Venetian Pool This large outdoor swimming pool may just be the most beautiful in the world. A former quarry, the site went from pit to porticos when developers decided to convert it into a mock-Italian villa in the 1920s. The ornate results—all waterfalls and twee loggias—may seem kitsch to those who've actually been to Venice, but there's no denying the glamor of the place (except when it's overrun by screaming toddlers and middle-aged aerobics enthusiasts). In its century of service to overheated Miamians, the pool has played host to orchestras, dance troupes and even Hollywood stars.  4. Go green at Miami Beach Botanical Garden Established over 50 years ago and given an impressive $1.2 million makeover in 2011 (designed by the appropriately named landscape architect Raymond Jungles), Miami's Botanical Gardens offer free access to 2.6 acres of glorious horticulture and calm. The weekly farmers' market offers a lovely way to support local traders, and lunchtime yoga classes provide another excuse to spend your day relaxing under a well-kept palm tree. Should this give you a taste for Miami's favourite fitness regime, join the area's huge spiritual community at a multi-level class in one of the many yoga studios. SOURCE: TIME OUT MIAMI

 Today we want to spotlight one of our favorite properties, located in the super- chic Mondrian hotel. The Mondrian has some of the coolest design in Miami. Set on the stunning waterfront of Biscayne Bay, Mondrian South Beach captures all the heat, intensity, energy and vibe of the original Mondrian in Los Angeles. Revolutionary Dutch designer Marcel Wanders’ whimsical and visionary style for the hotel is an homage to “Sleeping Beauty’s Castle.” In the soaring lobby, where the scene is about “see-and-be-seen”, floor-to-ceiling windows offer spectacular views of the Bay, while the eye is drawn to the masterpiece of the room–an iconic, signature “floating staircase.” Prepare for a night out at our signature South Beach spa, agua, or work off last night’s indulgence at our world-class gym. Enjoy a meal indoors or al fresco at our restaurant, La Savina, focused on locally sourced ingredients, or a specialty cocktail at Sunset Lounge. Also on site is a private marina exclusively for guests’ use. Located on newly-fashionable West Avenue, Mondrian is just minutes from the center of South Beach, downtown Miami, Miami Design District, Wynwood Arts District, Venetian Causeway, Lincoln Road, Ocean Drive and Espanola Way. #Mondrian #miamirentals #easyairrentals
