Florida - Perfect For a Holiday Vacation All Year Round

Back to the United States, this time to check out the beautiful Florida beaches. Thanks to Mike here we go!

Florida is perfect for a holiday vacation at any time of the year, no matter what age you are. It is known as the sunshine state, because that is exactly what you get even in the middle of winter. Temperatures are usually around the 60 to 70s even in November and December, so it has to be warmer than staying at home.

It is comfortable enough to lie on the beach or at the pool and sunbathe during the day. However, the sea water is likely to be much colder, so be warned if you decide to go swimming. Temperatures may drop to around the 40s in the evenings, but do not let that put you off because it is a good opportunity to snuggle up in front of a nice log fire for a romantic evening, or go for a stroll and view the fantastic sunsets.


It does not matter where you go in Florida you will find plenty of shops and many first class restaurants serving every type of cuisine you can think off. Whichever part of the state you choose to visit you will never be far away from some fantastic markets. At the all year round local events and festivals, you'll find the friendly inhabitants, are only too willing to welcome visitors to come along and join in with the activities.

You can have a wide selection of accommodation options to choose from. There will be something to fit any budget. Throughout the winter and autumn months, you can find some fantastic properties at really low prices, when demand falls. During spring and the summer months prices are much higher, and it is advisable to book well in advance if you want to have your choice of the best properties.


Florida vacation rentals can be found to accommodate from groups of two upwards. They are usually booked on a weekly rate, but can be rented for longer vacation periods, by arrangement with the rental company. If, for example, you are planning on a 4-6-week rental and using this as a base for exploring the state, you can try to negotiate a cheaper weekly rate.

A rental property can be much more cost effective per head than a hotel, depending on the size of the group. You will have privacy and all the facilities you may need to accommodate your group. You have the option to cook and eat in, whereas in hotels, which are usually room only you have to go out to eat.


Orlando is the perfect family holiday for the kids and the young at heart. If you like excitement and have plenty of energy, you will love visiting the theme parks and trying out all the rides from the tame to the really scary. There is no shortage of popular shows to go and see after, or before you enjoy a meal in one of the many restaurants.

If you prefer to spend a relaxing day at the beach watching the world pass by, Florida is the place to go. You will appreciate some of the best beaches, with opportunities for sunbathing, swimming and surfing. Florida is perfect for a holiday vacation and has something for everyone, including the fishermen and those who enjoy sailing and other water sports.

Mike, thanks again so much for your participating. Can only hope you lend me that chair some day ;)
