Vacation rentals can be one of the best choices for pet travelers in Miami because the metro is so spread out.
A rental can give you:
- Private entrance
- Kitchen
- Laundry
- More space
- Yard
- Easier long stays
- Less hotel noise
Current Vacasa inventory alone lists dozens of dog-friendly homes in both Miami and Miami Beach.
Miami
Vacasa currently lists 76 dog-friendly vacation rentals in Miami.
That inventory spans multiple neighborhoods and property types.
Current Miami dog-friendly inventory: vacasa.com
Miami Beach
Vacasa’s current Miami Beach inventory says 19 homes allow dogs.
This is useful for travelers who want:
- Beach access nearby
- South Beach
- Mid-Beach
- North Beach
But remember:
A dog-friendly Miami Beach rental does not mean the sand outside the building allows dogs.
Use designated Bark Beaches.
Current Miami Beach inventory: vacasa.com
Coral Gables
Current Miami rental inventory includes dog-friendly homes in Coral Gables.
Guest reviews specifically mention:
- Walkable neighborhoods
- Fenced backyards
- Easy access to restaurants and groceries
Best For
A quieter residential stay with more space.
Coconut Grove
Coconut Grove can be one of the best rental areas for dog travelers because of:
- Shade
- Walkability
- Outdoor restaurants
- Marina atmosphere
Brickell and Downtown
Condo rentals here are better suited to:
- Urban dogs
- Elevators
- Short walks
- Restaurants
rather than dogs that need a private yard.
Fenced Yards
Current Vacasa pet-friendly guidance specifically highlights fenced private yards as a useful amenity.
Still verify:
- Fully enclosed?
- Fence height?
- Shared?
- Pool inside fence?
- Secure gates?
Pet Fees
Vacasa currently charges a pet fee at pet-friendly homes.
The amount varies by:
- Property
- Location
- Size
No standard one-price rule applies.
Dogs Only
Current Vacasa policy says its pet-friendly vacation homes generally allow dogs only, aside from legally required service-animal accommodations.
Cat travelers should verify another provider or individual host.
Weight and Number Limits
Current policy says:
- Weight limits vary by home
- Number of dogs varies by home
- HOA restrictions can apply
Always read the individual listing.
HOA and Condo Rules
This matters especially in Miami Beach and Brickell.
A host can advertise a pet-friendly unit while the building has rules about:
- Weight
- Breed
- Number of pets
- Elevators
- Common areas
- Registration
Beachfront Does Not Mean Dog-Beach Front
This is worth repeating.
Miami Beach ordinary-dog access is concentrated in designated Bark Beaches.
A pet-friendly oceanfront condo may still face a beach where your dog cannot legally go.
Best Miami Rental Area by Trip Type
Best beach trip: Miami Beach near a designated Bark Beach Best city stay: Brickell / Downtown Best relaxed neighborhood: Coconut Grove Best residential yard potential: Coral Gables Best broad inventory: Greater Miami

Miami rentals are especially useful because neighborhood choice matters so much.
A quiet yard in Coral Gables and a South Beach condo are both Miami trips.
They are not the same dog vacation.
