renting a house in miami
« on: November 23, 2014, 08:45:55 AM »
Has anyone rented a kosher house in Miami ( or the area)? I am looking for something from Jan 13-20 with 3-4 bedrooms.

Why kosher?

We don't want to have to deal with kashering stuff and will be there over shabbas, so just easier. Unless you have a better idea?

Just self clean the oven and have a hot plate and/or crock pot...kosher places are hard to find and usually twice the price.

Many of the kosher places will have the home kashered for you, so you're not relying on the previous renters kashrus. They also have all of the koaher things like a blech or hot plate. However, it will cost you double and you could easily self clean the oven and bring some utensils.
Personally it's not worth while for us but some people are willing to spend the extra $ for the convenience.

I agree. It isn't double the price though it can be slightly more. If you are ok with North Miami Beach you can get a kosher house a lot cheaper than anything in Miami beach proper. I rented with Mendy Rosenberg in North Miami a few times. If you want his info pm me.
