Relax with a Delray Beach apartment rental

If you're looking for a more tame and calm experience, Delray Beach may be exactly what you're looking for. It's far less busy than West Palm Beach proper, but you'll still find plenty to do. It's technically a resort town, so the long list of activities comes with assurances of quality as well. Whether you're interested in seeing live musical performances or spending time at the beach, Delray offers both, along with numerous other events and festivals all year long. Plus, most of the best attractions can be found right on Atlantic Avenue, so you never have to go far.

Attractions near your Delray Beach vacation rentals

After you've had your fill of watersports and sunbathing, there's still plenty to see in the vicinity for your Delray Beach vacation rental. The Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens is a center for Japanese arts and culture that offers nature trails shaded by pines and dotted with koi ponds, botanical gardens of bonsai, and exhibits showing Japanese antiques and fine art. Visitors who like their art contemporary can head to the Cornell Art Museum in Old School Square. It features local and international fine art and crafts.

Activities near your Delray Beach vacation homes

The life of a lucky vacationer in Delray Beach is anchored by two things. First, there's the beach itself, where surfers, paddle boarders, and snorkelers while away the hours. It's also a lovely place for a stroll by day or stargazing by night. Next, there's Atlantic Avenue, known simply as The Avenue to area residents. It's where art fairs and festivals spring up in early summer, and where the shopping, dining, and nightlife are top notch. It's also just south of the Pineapple Grove Arts District, a hub of galleries and performance art venues.

Local weather for your stay in Delray Beach vacation homes

If you find dark, gray, frigid winters to be a bit too much, don't expect any sympathy from Delray Beach locals. They've never heard of such a thing. Here, winters are marked by sunny days and temperatures in the 60s and 70s. It's the most popular time to book a Delray Beach vacation rental. Summers are steamy, and temps regularly hit the 90s in July and August. It's great beach weather, but it's a little too hot for some, so you'll likely find lower prices and fewer crowds.

Don't worry about saying "Wakodahatchee." Just go there

The warm, wet weather in Delray Beach may mean you have to open your umbrella from time to time, but it also means that the wildlife scene is awesome. The Wakodahatchee Wetlands park is a prime example. Its 50 acres are threaded with a boardwalk that crosses ponds, marshes, and shrubby islands. Keep an eye out for 151 bird species, including pied-billed grebe, snowy egrets, and whistling ducks. Brilliantly colored purple gallinule (a swamp hen that's much prettier than the name "swamp hen" suggests) might hop right up to you. You can spot turtles, alligators, and rabbits, too.

Best beach areas near Delray Beach vacation homes

Delray Beach vacation homes are close to a diverse range of beaches for couples, families, and nature lovers.
