]]> You’re planning a trip to South Florida, and are looking for a new place to stay. Sure, there are hotels lining the area, but you want something a little different, a little cozy and off the main drag. A bed and breakfast may be your answer. Here are a few that may strike your fancy:
  1.  The Miami River Inn - this historic landmark was built between 1906 and 1910 and carries a feeling of comfort and tranquility. The River Inn has 40 rooms split into 4 cottages and each is uniquely decorate with hard wood floors, antiques, and brass, wood, and wicker furniture. Step outside and you will enjoy the lush beauty of the outdoors. Beautiful flowers surround the pool and jacuzzi area and guests are able to enjoy breakfast in the garden courtyard or a complimentary glass of wine in the evening. Guests can also partake in a game of  croquet. (Good to note – well-behaved pets are welcome as long as you plan in advance.) The Miami River Inn is located at 118 SW South River Drive in Miami (305) 325-0045.
  2. The Hibiscus House is located in Downtown West Palm Beach just steps away from CityPlace. Consisting of 2 historic homes built in 1917, is both charming and intimate. Each room is distinct from the next. Guests receive a full course breakfast every morning either on their outside porch or in their dining room. Don’t worry about transportation, as the trolley makes a stop right outside the Hibiscus House and will take you throughout the Downtown area. The Hibiscus House is located at 213 S Rosemary Avenue in West Palm Beach (561) 833-8171
