Florida’s Coconut Grove is one of the most stylish neighbourhoods you could hope to stay in. With an envy-inducing boutique shopping scene and an abundance of art galleries, a sense of style flourishes here as easily as the plants do. So perhaps it’s no surprise that the hosts have stamped the apartment with a bold, vintage aesthetic. Retro limes, oranges and browns are spotted in the living room and kitchen, but we love the gold palm frond wallpaper in one of the bedrooms the most. The clever trick here is not to go overboard — plain walls and uncluttered spaces ensure the apartment stays being a calming base from which to explore the area’s shops, restaurants, parks and CocoWalk open-air mall. Plan today’s activities with a family breakfast around the oval dining table and remember to visit the Barnacle Historic State Park down in Biscayne Bay.

Home truths:
*The hosts do not let the apartment to people who live within a 60-mile radius
*Bookings are not taken from groups of people under 21 years of age

*Please note there may be slight differences in the aesthetics and furniture in each apartment compared with the photographs shown.
