Florida's Gulf Coast
Florida is one of the best places to go on vacation. With its warm climate, sunny beaches, golf courses and exciting nightlife–Florida is a great place. If you add theme parks, turtle watching opportunities and delicious Key Lime Pie to the mix, Florida is a must-see.
What are the top destinations in Florida? Consider visiting Destin, Panama City Beach or Beaches of South Walton. These beach destinations have something for everyone and many things to do.
Of course, these are just a few of the many attractions that the Florida Golf Coast has to offer. Destin, Panama City Beach and the Beaches of South Walton are all within an hour of each other, and there are places to stop along the way in Santa Rosa Beach, Grayton Beach and Seagrove Beach.
When visiting the Florida Gulf Coast, relax and enjoy your vacation. There are more than enough activities to keep you busy, but take your time to soak up the sun, shop at the local stores and enjoy the fresh air.
If you are going to be staying in Florida for more than a few days, consider Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals as alternative accommodations to the typical hotel. For example, there are various golf resorts in Destin, FL , or a Panama City beachfront resort might be a good alternative as well.
There are also many beach rentals in Destin Florida as well as Destin Harbor condominium rentals. If you are visiting Florida with your family or with a large group of friends, these alternatives can be less expensive and much nicer. Check out many places to find the lowest price or sign up to have condo deals sent to your email account. There are condos with kitchens, 2-3 private bedrooms, living rooms and balconies for great prices.
As the spring break arrives, people from all over the United States leave their homes and head to the beaches to enjoy the water, sand and the sun. Florida is considered a great destination by many, because of the perfect weather and the abundance of gorgeous beaches. These are 5 great Florida beaches you should check out.
Siesta Key beach finishes every year among the best beaches in the United States. Siesta Key is an 8 mile long barrier island surrounded by water, located just off Sarasota. This beach has a particularly fine and white sand, that feels refreshing on the skin. It is made 99% out of quartz, so it is great to play in. Siesta Key is a great spot to spend your weekend, and there are regular flights to Tampa and Sarasota, the two closest cities.
Clearwater Beach can be found on the west coast of Florida, west of Tampa. It is a great place to spend a week with your family, because of its fun atmosphere and large scale of activities for any ages and tastes. The water is very calm, and one can take long walks along the pretty beach. The beach can be accessed easily: you have to take a plane to Tampa or St. Petersburg.
About 45 minutes from Orlando there is the 23-mile Daytona Beach, where you can enjoy your vacation together with your family and friends. This a great place for those who prefer the Atlantic Ocean instead of the Gulf of Mexico. Daytona Beach today is ideal for family travel, and there are plenty of fun activities to choose from, so your kids will love it.
Miami Beach is particularly popular during the spring break. College students from all around the country come here to party, but families with kids will also love this place. You will never get bored down at South Beach and Miami. Actually, it may be more difficult to find a peaceful and quiet place, so if you are looking for a secluded beach, Miami is not for you.
Marco Island can be found on the west coast of the Florida peninsula, just south of Naples. Marco Island is the largest of Florida’s famous Ten Thousand Islands, and is a hot getaway for beach goers. This is a great place for those who don’t like the lively noise of Daytona Beach and Miami. The water is refreshing and the beach is pretty. This is the perfect getaway for those who want to get away from the hustle ad bustle of other, more crowded beaches.

Vacation Rental Becoming the Norm for Family Summer Vacations
While many travel companies have been challenged to survive during the hard times over the last few years, one area of the Travel Industry has seen an explosion: By Owner Vacation Rentals are quickly becoming the accommodation for couples and families looking to get away.
According to reported data, somewhere in the range of fifty percent of vacationers said that they expect to book a vacation rental condo or villa during the next 12 months. Add to that, nearly one quarter of Vacation Travelers who were surveyed had already stayed in one, and 33% of owners reported that in 2009 they had received more bookings.
It's not difficult to understand why. Vacation Rentals by Owner have a lot to offer. And when it comes to affordable vacations, vacation rentals are hard to beat. With a vacation rental a family will get a spacious living room, one or more bedrooms, a fully furnished dining and cooking area, and often private balcony and sometimes a pool and jacuzzi.
Families can find whatever suits their needs, from a studio condo to a six-bedroom home with grounds and a pool. Without doubt, there's a Ideal Vacation Rental just for you.
Saving money for other things with a vacation rental by owner.
No matter what the size of your party, a unit with several bedrooms and bathrooms allows you to split the overall lodging costs with other friends or family members. And the savings from just eating in a few days really adds up.
There's also more convenience when you have your own kitchen. You never have to rush to get to the breakfast buffet before it closes. You can sleep in, and have your lunch out seaside for a lot less than you'd pay in a hotel restaurant. Every Rental includes a coffee maker. Many even have espresso machines and other amenities like egg poachers.
Your kitchen will also include all the tools you'll need to make lunches, midday snacks, or a midnight snack. In Florida destinations, blenders are a must for margaritas, rum runners and other beachy beverages.
Know the minimums. Many rentals do not have flexibility in rental terms, some are three night minimum rentals but the majority are for seven night minimums. Because of the 7 day minimum, many owners select one day as the turnover day usually on the weekend. When they're not fully booked, you may be able to stay fewer nights or check in mid week, this is really a matter of convenience and planning for the owner. Where there's lots of competition you'll find more flexible terms.
Usually a minimal deposit of is required to hold the unit, then the balance due one or two months before your trip. You may also have to pay a security deposit, which is usually refundable.
Every owner has different guidelines but most owners will return a deposit if they can rebook the unit if you cancel. But if they can't, you'll probably be out your deposit. If it's large, consider buying travel insurance as protection.
For your next trip, look into staying in a vacation rental instead of a hotel. You'll likely be happy you did.

Take a moment to think of cities whose name alone conjures up images of sun soaked beaches, tantalizing nightlife and some of the most exciting theme parks known to man. More likely than not, two of Florida's foremost leisure destinations - Miami and Orlando - stand out prominently in your mind. The former was tied with Washington D.C. for fourth place in Forbes' list of America's Most Entertaining Cities (2009). Not surprisingly, Orlando and Tampa were well represented in Forbes' list of the Top 25 Most Visited Tourist Destinations in America(2009), with Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, Universal Orlando Resort/Islands of Adventure, SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay all making the cut. Even West Palm Beach, known for its historic neighborhoods and lively festivals, has been cited as one of the country's best places to live and work. Has this whet your appetite for an affordable vacation in the Sunshine State this year? If so, heed the tips below to savor the best of sultry Florida without putting a dent in your bank account.
1. Book early!
If you're a price-conscious traveler, it's definitely in your best interest to book as many months in advance of your trip as possible. The travel industry has seen a marked shift in a year's time: Whereas travelers could afford to wait until the last minute to book the lowest rates on accommodations in 2009, they are now being saddled with higher rates closer to check-in. Though the internet might seem like the best option for finding the lowest rates, you can lock in even bigger savings by picking up the phone. For example, by calling toll-free call centers, travelers can take advantage of unpublished rates typically 10-25% and as much as 50% lower than those listed online. A wealth of hotel deals are up for grabs in properties including the Walt Disney World Swan Resort in Orlando, the Majestic Hotel South Beach in Miami, Sunset Vistas Beachfront Suites in Tampa and The Bradley Park Hotel in West Palm Beach.
2. Complimentary is key.
I think we'd all agree that while cheap is good, free sounds a lot better. Orlando properties including the Regal Sun Resort, Royal Plaza Hotel and Sheraton Vistana Villages offer free internet access plus complimentary shuttle service to all four Walt Disney World theme parks. If you're traveling with kids, you'll be save a bundle on food costs thanks to Kids Eat Free programs offered by the Regal Sun Resort, Royal Plaza Hotel, Comfort Inn Lake Buena Vista, and other select hotels. If the hotel doesn't carry an entertainment book, you might be able to snag one at a pit stop convenience store. These handy books are chock full of restaurant coupons and convenient discounts on Florida attractions ranging from the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa to Gatorland in Orlando. If you'd rather scour the internet for bargains, try sites like orlandocoupons.com.
3. Purchase theme park tickets early and online.
You'll no doubt save time and money by purchasing park passes online before arrival. For example, by purchasing Universal Orlando tickets online, you can save $10 off the gate price on all multi-day tickets as well as receive a coupon book with up to $150 in savings with any multi-day park-to-park ticket purchase. Here's an unbeatable deal for Tampa-bound travelers: Florida residents with a 2010 Busch Gardens Fun Card need only pay less than the cost of a 1 day visit ($69.95) to get into Busch Gardens free for the rest of the year. Walt Disney World also offers discount programs for Florida residents, including 4 Days for $99 with the 4 Day Dream Pass. Even if you're not a Florida resident, you can lock in substantial savings with a Walt Disney World Pass, which allows year-round, unlimited admission to all 4 Disney parks plus discounts on dining, sports and recreation, tours and much more.
4. Take advantage of membership discount programs and Twitter deals.
If you're a member of any special organization that offers discounts, you can enjoy a wealth of membership benefits including reduced hotel rates. By simply showing your card, you can save on everything from car rentals and apparel to sports and dining. Plus, members are eligible for discounted admission rates at most theme parks. For example, you could save $3 on regular all-day admission to Adventure Island in Tampa, Busch Gardens, SeaWorld Orlando and Wet 'n Wild. In addition, by following your favorite travel companies on Twitter, you can gain access to exclusive travel deals available only for a limited time.
5. Enjoy a bevy of free Florida sites and attractions.
Who says traveling to Florida has to be all about roller coasters and Mickey Mouse? Travelers can frequent some of the state's most popular sites and attractions - starting with its unspoiled beaches - without having to shell out a dime. The state is also replete with verdant parks of varying sizes - from Tropical Park in Miami to Big Tree Park in Orlando - where you can enjoy such family-friendly leisure activities as fishing, hiking, bike riding and canoeing.
While the temperature in Florida is on the rise, your travel expenses don't have to be. With a little planning, a Florida vacation could wind up being much more affordable than you'd expect. So head for the Sunshine State and have a whale of a time - just don't forget to bring the sunscreen along!

A Beach For Each - Fort Myers / Sanibel
Whether it's a family vacation or a romantic retreat, the Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel are great destinations.
Sparkling blue waters, sugar-white sand and sun-kissed skies... The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel rival those of any Caribbean isle. Come, build castles in the sand, find treasures of the sea; explore exotic flora and fauna in our alluring paradise. Here you'll discover the world's largest concentration of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, as well as manatees, shore birds and loggerhead turtles. Windsurf, parasail, kayak or fish; stroll hand-in-hand on our sun-swept shores. Whether you want a quiet respite with your loved ones or an action-packed adventure, The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel has a beach for each.Family Fun
Gulfside City Park: This is one cool spot for picnicking, swimming safely and shelling 'til you siesta. Stroll the rustic boardwalk or hike off the beach along the bike path to the historic pioneer cemetery. Also known as Algiers Beach, this pretty park is on Sanibel Island.
Tarpon Bay Beach: Swimming, walking and playing volleyball are some of the most popular pastimes at this beautiful beach on Sanibel; it features high sands and plenty of seashells.
Fort Myers Beach: Miles of gleaming white sand, gentle sloping shoreline, restaurants, cafes, shopping and recreational activities galore render this famous beach a family favorite. Rent a boat, parasail, fish, swim, shop or soak up some rays. These sprawling sands are located in the town of Fort Myers Beach.
Spectacular Shelling
Sanibel, Captiva and Cayo Costa Islands: Conchs, whelks, sand dollars and rare lettered olives are among the mounds of mollusks you'll see on these islands in the sun. Go ahead and do the "Sanibel Stoop" and the "Captiva Crouch," the positions you're likely to take when presented with this area's compelling shelling. Sanibel is also home to the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum, featuring shells from all over the world. Cayo Costa is a state park and one of the largest uninhabited barrier islands in Florida. Accessible only by boat, it's fringed with sea oats, sand dunes, miles of white-sand beach and a kaleidoscope of seashells. Scoop them up, swim, snorkel, fish or camp in this wilderness wonderland.
Getting to Captiva Beach is a romantic adventure in itself; quaint restaurants shaded by tropical foliage, cozy bed & breakfasts and colorful boutiques dot the path to seductive seclusion, breathtaking sunsets and romance.
Romantic Retreats
Lovers Key: Many couples have been known to surrender to the romance of this aptly named hideaway; listen carefully and you might hear wedding bells chime from the turn-of-the-century-style gazebo on the beach. Nature lovers delight in kayaking The Great Calusa Blueway Paddling Trail in Estero Bay to watch dolphins playfully leap and seabirds plunge for dinner.
Cayo Costa, Captiva, Chino Island and Big Hickory Island: Pack a picnic basket, rent a boat and hop to one of these islands, where love is definitely in the air, in the water and on the beaches. Getting to Captiva Beach is a romantic adventure in itself; quaint restaurants shaded by tropical foliage, cozy bed & breakfasts and colorful boutiques dot the path to seductive seclusion, breathtaking sunsets and romance.
Where the Action Is
Lighthouse Beach: Located on Sanibel Island's southern tip, this beach is picture-perfect for those who prefer less strenuous sports. Swim, fish from the pier, stroll, shell or sail; windsurfing is also available.
Sanibel: Follow the wooded nature trail to the base of the historic Sanibel Lighthouse and its T-shaped fishing pier. Take a bicycle ride through Old Town, one of the island's earliest settlements located at the end of the island. You'll find Sanibel is full of surprises.
Sanibel Causeway: Windsurfers rule at Sanibel Causeway, a most popular spot for this thrilling sport. Don't own a board? Renting one is easy. Boaters enjoy the convenience of launching small boats and personal watercrafts from ramps at either end of the causeway, while fisherman find luck casting into the surf or from bridge abutments.
Boca Grande Lighthouse Park: Although swimming here is not recommended because of strong currents, conditions are excellent for windsurfing, sailing and especially sport fishing in the Boca Grande Pass.
