Cons: upstairs air didn’t work during our stay; ceiling fans in living room also inoperable. House came with one magnetic key card to access beach, which, with a group of people posed problems. Found out late in week that there was a code for the gate that could be used. Would’ve been nice to know at outset. ##### Michael Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Wyndham I-Drive Avanti Resort & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Avanti-Palms-Resort-And-Conference-Center.h3916.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunset Key Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-Sunset-Key-Cottages.h17456804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Shire at West Haven 101](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-The-Shire-At-West-Haven-101.h35790310.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton EPIC Hotel by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Kimpton-EPIC-Hotel.h2237168.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Miami-Beach.h74574.Hotel-Information) > > [Bentley Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Bentley-Hotel-South-Beach.h120299.Hotel-Information) > > [Esmé Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Esme-Miami-Beach.h58072094.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Orange-Lake-Resort.h6315.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Plaza Resort & Suites by Wyndham Orlando Intl Drive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Ramada-Plaza-Resort-Suites-By-Wyndham-Orlando-Intl-Drive.h897604.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Portofino Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Portofino-Bay-Hotel.h201033.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Hard Rock Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Hard-Rock-Hotel.h485506.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-1-Hotel-South-Beach.h1790087.Hotel-Information) > > [Southernmost Beach Resort and Guesthouses](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-West-Hotels-Southernmost-Beach-Resort.h863329.Hotel-Information) > > [Magic Village Views Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Magic-Village-Views-Trademark-Collection-By-Wyndham.h36882728.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House Naples/5th Avenue](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-Hyatt-House-Naples5th-Avenue.h12805323.Hotel-Information) > > [LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort - A Noble House Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-LaPlaya-Beach-Golf-Resort-A-Noble-House-Resort.h25199.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Resort-Surfside-Inn-And-Suites.h27522522.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Tampa Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tampa-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Tampa-Downtown.h59632755.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Loews-Miami-Beach-Hotel-South-Beach.h81223.Hotel-Information) > > [UMA House by Yurbban South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-UMA-House-By-Yurbban-South-Beach.h74778624.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Sorrento Oceanview Junior Suite with free parking](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Sorrento-Oceanview-Junior-Suite-With-Free-Parking.h29618894.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Greystone - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Greystone.h34892018.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Dockside-Inn-Suites.h33770341.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-At-The-Entrance-To-Universal-Orlando.h5398.Hotel-Information) > > [The Seagate Hotel, Golf & Beach Club, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Delray-Beach-Hotels-The-Seagate-Hotel-Spa.h2803783.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Grand-Beach-Hotel.h2238836.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Aventura Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Aventura-Hotel.h18352896.Hotel-Information)
