It’s almost summertime and you’re ready for a well-earned break from the every day. If the idea of cramming into an overcrowded house with your extended family in rural New Jersey doesn’t quite sound like a dream vacation, you’re not alone. Sure, you can always visit one of those far-flung, exotic destinations instead, but if all you’ll have to eat is the canned tuna fish you packed in your suitcase, you’re probably better off shacking up with the in-laws in Jersey. Fortunately, there is a better alternative, one that offers both the beauty and splendor of a tropical getaway, while still providing comfort and convenience for even the most discriminating kosher traveler. It’s beautiful Miami Beach, of course. And contrary to conventional thinking, it doesn’t have to be winter- break or Passover to enjoy the sunny skies and abundant kosher dining of “the capital of Latin America.” Even if you’ve visited the Sunshine State dozens of times, you’ve never truly experienced the ultimate getaway until you’ve stayed in one of the vacation homes of TheSuitesandVillas.com. Imagine the space and comfort of a hotel’s presidential suite, the convenience of a fully equipped kosher kitchen and the luxury of a private pool, and you’ll start to get the picture. Located conveniently in North Miami Beach, a vacation at one of the four luxury villa homes simply offers more options. Don’t feel like going out? Enjoy a refreshing swim and throw a few burgers on the grill. Ready to paint the town? The villas are just minutes from the interstate and an easy drive to any of South Florida’s multitude of kosher restaurants and attractions (and there’s no need to wait for the valet to bring your car around). Want to stay for Shabbat? Everything you need from candles to kiddush cup are all ready, and a minyan is just a short walk away. Some of the villas even boast a Sephardic kinees (Congregation Magen David) just three to five blocks away. Whether you’re the type of person who likes a midday swim or a midnight snack (or both), the villas allow you to enjoy your vacation on your own terms. Perhaps best of all, this luxury, comfort and convenience is very reasonably priced. With rates between $200-$350 (depending on location and season), the spacious three and four bedroom villas are priced less than many cramped luxury hotel rooms. The savings are even more dramatic for families that ordinarily need two or more hotel rooms. And while the villas are a great deal all- year-round, summer stays are priced considerably lower, making them an especially attractive option and a perfect retreat for ben hazmanim . Want a quick escape a little closer to home? TheSuitesandVillas. com offers a luxury suite off Ocean Parkway – complete with an indoor pool, a kosher kitchenette and convenient access to an array of kosher restaurants and minyanim nearby. Add to that a continental breakfast complete with an array of delicious fresh pastries brought right to your door, and a base rate of only $150 per night, and it becomes clear why the suite is considered the best kosher lodging deal in Brooklyn. With a variety of luxury accommodations that are centrally located, super convenient, and surprisingly affordable, there’s no question you get more fun for your summertime sun at TheSuitesAndVillas.com. The only thing you need to think about is when you want to book your trip. While last minute reservations are sometimes possible, your indulgent escape can only be guaranteed if you reserve early.
