While more than likely to conjure visions of glamorous people, a pulsating nightlife and the infamous mojito, Miami has far more to offer timeshare owners beneath its sultry surface. Certainly, the sizzling nightlife scene in and around South Beach is not to be discounted with frequent celebrity sightings and the newest club concepts opening each season; however, much like an exotic woman, the city is meant to be discovered and savored.
A National Historical Landmark, the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens were built by agricultural industrialist James Deering in 1916. The property features a main house, ten acres of formal and breathtaking gardens along Biscayne Bay, a rockland hammock and a soon to be restored historical village. When built, this stunningly beautiful and serene retreat in the heart of Miami was intended to appear as an Italian estate that had stood for four hundred years and had been occupied and renovated by several generations of a family. Containing thirty four rooms decorated with 15th through 19th century antique furnishings and art objects, Vizcaya also boasts expansive gardens combining elements of Renaissance Italian and French designs.
For all day entertainment, the Miami Metro Zoo is a top choice for vacationers of all ages. Timeshare owners will enjoy the many and varied exhibits offered. A sanctuary for endangered, rare and threatened animals, the Miami Metro Zoo offers observation of an amazing variety of species, plus animal education programs geared for children of all ages.
For a back to nature experience, sailing and sightseeing on Biscayne Bay is one of the best in the Miami area. Sailors from around the world are familiar with its beauty and sheltered sailing ground. In addition, a visit to the beach is a must for timeshare owners, with a host of water sport activities available as well as much needed opportunities for relaxation and soaking in the marvelous sunshine.
