The Best Hotels and Places to Stay in Homestead, Florida

Roll a beach vacation, a city break and a trip to a national park all into one vacation with this townhouse in Princeton. This condo has four bedrooms, each with two beds so no one has to share the sheets unless they want to. Nightlife in Miami is only 40 minutes away, as is unrivaled Cuban food if no one feels like cooking in the full kitchen. The beach and Biscayne National Park are even closer.

Your adventure into the Everglades National Park begins at this four-bedroom townhome. You’ve got the whole joint to yourself, but with three bedrooms and two bathrooms to spare, you might as well bring your congregation with you. Speaking of congregations, you’ll be happy you have extra sets of eyes watching your back when you venture into the Glades, bristling with over 200,000 alligators. If that’s a little too wild for you, the Monkey Jungle zoological park is only 10 minutes away.

This private house is one of the best places to stay in Homestead. Five bedrooms and four bathrooms will cater to any vacation style. Marlins, Dolphins and Heat games are an hour’s Uber ride away, while you can hit the beach at Homestead Bayfront Park in minutes. It’s a pet-friendly private home, too, so let your pooch join you for fun in the sun at James Archer Smith Park or Mayor Roscoe Warren Municipal Park.

You can get to the Homestead-Miami Speedway so fast from the Courtyard by Marriott that they might as well let you compete in a NASCAR race. No reason to rush, even if you do get a little too amped on espresso at the lobby Starbucks. You can do a few laps around the outdoor pool if you need to kick it into a higher gear, then head over to the Bistro to feed your hunger with burgers and fries before the race.

A day trip to Miami’s best attractions is easy thanks to Hilton Garden Inn’s location. Right off of the Ronald Reagan Turnpike, you can be at Zoo Miami within 30 minutes of finishing breakfast. You don’t need to slide into a car to get a suntan, though; the outdoor pool is always welcoming under the sunny skies of South Florida. When the rain clouds start to move in, the Garden Grill & Bar is as good of a place as any to ride out the storm.

Heading all the way down to the Keys? Hampton Inn & Suites says not so fast; its Homestead hotel will give you the rest you need to continue the long haul to Duval Street. Draw the curtains and let the plush bedding in your room send you into a deep sleep. The kids will give you all of the peace and quiet that you need when you send them to the basketball court or game room stocked with Xboxes.
