Miami 31st Road feels fun rather than precious. The chef's kitchen and bright, updated living areas make everyday life straightforward, while the game room and bar, pool table and ping-pong table give everyone somewhere to land when you are home. Outside, the private pool, patio, dining area and swings create a casual backyard setup that works especially well for families. What really separates the house, though, is access. Brickell, Vizcaya, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Little Havana and Key Biscayne all become realistic parts of a normal week rather than special excursions. That is particularly appealing on a 30-night stay, when you want a neighborhood that lets you build routines and explore rather than feeling as though you are living inside a resort.
