Tips for a Great Florida Vacation

By Webmaster



Florida is one of the most famous vacation spots in the U.S. It is a great melting pot where different races get together and party. From great beaches to awesome theme parks, Florida should be included on everyone’s must-visit list.

There are many ways to enjoy your Florida vacation, but you must plan carefully since Florida is a big state and there are lots of places to visit and have fun. If you are still in the planning process for your Florida vacation, here are some very helpful tips to guide you:

1. Determine the best time for you to visit
It really depends on the visitor. If great weather is your priority, you must schedule your vacation from October to April, when Florida is all dry and sunny, the perfect time for hitting the beaches. But you have to remember that hotels and other accommodation rates are at its highest during this peak season, so you have to be prepared to shell out more cash. If you plan to go to areas north of Lake Okeechobee, the fall and spring seasons is the best time to go. Winter is the best option for those who intend to stay in South Florida and the Keys.

Also, take note if your vacation time will fall on holidays, for hotel prices and crowds will be at premium. But if cash is not an issue for you, then holidays is a great time to see the fun and excitement of a Florida vacation. You can time your vacation during their local holidays: the NASCAR race in Daytona Beach, lobster season in the Keys and the seafood festival in Cedar Key. And of course, don’t forget the Spring Break, where practically everyone will be donning their bikinis and will party on the beach all day and night.

2. Where should you go?
Plan your itinerary as best as you can to make the most out of your Florida vacation. You should include the most popular tourist spots in the Sunshine State:
- state and national parks
- Disneyworld
- Florida Keys, Key West
- theme parks
- lots and lots of beaches

It depends on how much time you have. If you have only a week, then it’s best to stay in just one region, whether north, south, east or west.

3. What should you pack?
Lots and lots of swimsuits, especially if you’re staying near the beach. But remember that the weather in Florida can be quite unpredictable. Summers can be really scorching, and winters can also have daytime temperatures. Make sure to check weather reports regularly and bring light coats – cold fronts can come in your area anytime, so it’s better to be prepared. Otherwise, laid-back fashion is the best for your Florida vacation. You can find lots of people there in board shorts and skimpy tops, so your flip-flops and sneakers will do just fine.

4. Is there great Internet connection?
>Since many people are already bringing their laptops with them even during their vacations, Internet connections are a primary concern. The best way to go about this is to call your hotel beforehand and inquire about their connection. Not all hotels have solid connection, and you should not just rely on what their brochures and online sites say; call them to know how high-speed the connection that you can expect is.

By Anonymous



Venice, FL July 20, 2004 -- Venice Florida Vacation Rentals Home is a beach vacations rental home 2 blocks from the beaches. This is how Steve Milo's listing reads for his Florida vacation home on the Rentalo.com vacation rental homes web site.

Through the use of sites like Rentalo.com, Vacationhomes.com and A1Vacations.com, Steve Milo has an increased demand for renters than can fill.

According to Milo, he initially bought his vacation house near Venice Beach Florida in 2002. He thought it would be easy to rent the cute little Florida beach cottage as it was only 2 blocks away from the Venice FL beach.

He listed it with a local management company and after 3 months of no responses he got worried. Then, he discovered Internet vacation rental homes sites and listed the house. Soon, his email box was brimming with inquiries from travelers around the world.

Milo said the key to his Florida beach vacation villa success has been using lots of text and lots of photos.

Milo's web site features photos and descriptions of the house and the Venice Florida area. Here are some examples of Milo's text.

Our Venice Florida beach vacation rental home is only a 2 block walk to Casey Key's Nokomis state beach park one of the best beaches in Florida - offering nearly a 1000 feet of sandy white beach, restroom facilities, outdoor showers and lifeguards.

Our Venice Beach Florida vacation rental holiday villa is only a 1 block walk to the Florida intercoastal waterway where you can watch boats and also offers exceptional fishing spots. Our Venice vacation rental villa is also a 2 block walk to two wonderful seafood restaurants overlooking the bay including Pelican Bay which has excellent food and Pops Sunset Grill which has an outdoor bar and very affordable drinks.

Milo has also written plenty of text on the history of the Venice area.

Filled with pristine snow white beaches (the best in world according to the Oceanographic Institute), the tranquil Central Gulf Coast of Florida contains some of the most endearing small towns in Florida. Filled with galleries and cafes, Sarasota Florida and Venice Florida contain charming historic town centers that are only a short distance to spectacular bays and beaches.

Smaller in size but large in charm, Venice Florida features a historic town lined with trees, gardens and beautiful historic houses. The town of Venice FL can be best enjoyed by walking and exploring the side streets filled with coffee shops, art galleries and antique stores.

Venice Florida is actually a small island surrounded by breathtaking bays and is perfect for those looking for a vacation of low key sailing, kayaking or boating. In addition, Venice has several wonderful beaches the best of which include Casperson Park, Nokomis Beach and Brohard Park which includes the popular Venice pier.

Venice Florida is known for its beaches and the prehistoric sharks teeth that can be found here.

Venice Beach Florida itself has a population of only about 18,600 people in the summer and about 24,000 people in the winter.

The northern Italian Renaissance architectural theme was chosen and a town of grace and beauty began to grow along the golden sands and blue-green waters.

Today, the city of Venice, Florida has many fine amenities, including a yacht club, community center, community theater and professional dinner theater, an art center, library and many fine restaurants.

According to Milo, the photos and text have helped him attract travelers from all over the world. We've had vacationers from England, the Netherlands, Germany and Canada. Of course, the bulk of rentors still come from the United States.

According to Milo, the average age of his traveler is in the 50's. Since I only rent for stays of 1 month or longer, I have a lot of retirees. They really treat the house like it is their own.

Milo also finds that his policy towards accepting pets helps tremendously. Almost all of my guests have a cat or a dog. By being pet friendly, I've really increased the amount of travellers who will stay in my home.
