Whether you want family-friendly rentals that the kids can enjoy too, a more adventurous Airbnb that’s great for small groups, or something a little more intimate for couples, there’s an offer on the table. And it probably involves a surprising amenity, from arcade games to in-ground hot tubs to farm animals.
In short, it’s a great place to have it all when it comes to private rentals.
Even if, say, you’re on the hunt for beachfront rentals in Florida with a private pool. Why would a traveler need access to both the beach and a private pool? It doesn’t matter. This is your Florida vacation, and you can swim in salty or chlorinated water according to your own whims.
But first, you need a place to stay. Start with these picks for the best beachfront rentals in Florida with a private pool, from TV-famous villas to private homes with back doors that open onto the sand.
Disclaimer: Are you going to do your own research on beachfront rentals in Florida with a private pool? I recommend digging into the property profile to make sure the pool is actually private. Many are listed as private but are shared by condo properties. The same for beachfront access—it seems to be a pretty loose term.

Lovely cottage on Anna Maria Island

Not all beachfront rentals in Florida with a private pool deliver on Instagrammability, but this little cottage packs a (visual) punch.

Sun-room-style pool in Englewood

This large home sleeps up to twelve guests in four bedrooms. It comes with a gorgeous private pool that is enclosed by windows, like a sunroom. If you prefer the sand, it’s less than 100 yards from the home. The choice to swim at home or at the beach makes this ideal for families that want to stay mobile. Book now.
Private home with a butterfly garden in Lake Worth

A heated pool surrounded by lush gardens that attract passing butterflies—does it get any better? This home is a Spanish Villa from 1952 that’s been carefully refurbished by a professional designer. The only drawback is that the beach is about a mile away. I think the butterflies make up for it, but I’ll let you decide. Book now.
TV-Famous home in Miramar Beach

If you’ve watched The American Dream real estate show, you might recognize this home. It’s a gorgeous three-floor, three-bedroom home that sleeps up to ten guests.

Beach bungalow with a semi-private pool in Indian Shores

I have one more property with a shared pool—but this one is only shared by the four bungalows on the property, so I think it’s worth mentioning. This sandy beach bungalow is located right on the beach, letting you fall asleep to the sound of waves. Though there are only two bedrooms, the unit sleeps up to six people. Perfect for lazy beach trips. Book now.
