While you can always find your usual list of beachfront holiday rentals in Florida, vacation-goers who are looking for something truly unique can also find some seriously one-of-kind Airbnb accommodations that will make your vacation getaway that much more memorable. Instead of booking a boring hotel room surrounded by tourists when you stay in the Sunshine State, choose from Airbnb’s most unusual choices, from a treehouse to a luxury boat, a tiny house, or even a floating tiki. From quirky to strange and all-around awesome, here are some of the coolest Airbnbs in Florida.
