Coral Springs vacation rentals

Visit Fort Lauderdale's artsy neighbor to the north

Sandwiched between the coastal city of Pompano Beach and the Everglades Wildlife Management Area, charming Coral Springs is known for its thriving art, theater, and live music scenes. Characterized by that famous Florida suburban sprawl, the town offers a laid-back alternative to the hustle and bustle of Fort Lauderdale and Miami. A Coral Springs vacation rental provides easy access to the famous beaches of the Florida coast, as well as the abundant attractions and outdoor activities the inland towns have to offer. So pack the sunscreen and get ready to soak up that fabulous Florida sun.

You'll be happy to know the fish are always biting

Coral Springs borders the Everglades Wildlife Management Area, which means that all the wildlife viewing, hunting, and fishing you could ever want are right outside your door at a Coral Springs vacation rental. There are also several miles of levees just made for long hikes and bike rides. Anglers should also check out the Deerfield International Fishing Pier. While you're there, take some time to frolic in the surf, work on your tan, or catch a stunning sunrise at any of the coastal beaches. In town, you'll find seasonal festivals and live stage performances, plus some retail therapy at Sawgrass Mills Mall.

Where winters are warm and summers are warmer

In Coral Springs, you'll get a true taste of the Florida tropics. With only about a 20-degree temperature swing year round, you'll see highs in the 70s even in the coldest months of December to February, and steamy days in the 90s from June to September. April to September are the wettest months, so bring an umbrella. Much like the rest of Florida, there's always a chance for hurricanes in the summer and fall, so check ahead, particularly if you're booking a Coral Springs vacation rental in September or October.

Who knew swamps could be this beautiful?

The Everglades are one of the most famous swamps in the world, but many people don't really know what these swamps are like. The scenic sawgrass marshes of the Everglades Wildlife Management Area will change your idea of swamps forever, as you watch waterfowl, deer, and game frolic among the waving grassed and tree islands (just watch out for gators). The coast offers the sandy beaches, crashing waves, and stunning sunrises you see on postcards. And don't forget to pay a visit to all the beautiful butterflies at Butterfly World.
