A cheap vacation in Florida is fairly easy to find, as it is in virtually every other state in the United States. Florida beach vacations and visits to the theme parks of Disneyworld, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios are the two most popular kinds of holidays in the state. Disneyworld has its own campground onsite, and there are number of other campgrounds and RV parks in the area. There are also plenty of inexpensive Orlando hotels and motels available in the near vicinity, which can be easy to get back and forth to especially if you have a cheap rental car.

Cheap Florida beach trips are just as easy to find if that interests you as a cheap vacation spot. While there are plenty of luxury destinations like Fort Myers and Naples and nearby Sanibel Island, there are about 1,200 miles of coastline in the state. This leaves plenty of space for cheap Florida beach trips that can be afforded by most everyone. Many of the beaches around the state are public, with quick and easy access to a variety of accommodations and things to do.

A cheap Destin vacation can also be one of many cheap Florida beach trips as this area (including Fort Walton Beach) is near the top of many lists. Here you will find more than 100 miles of sugary white sand, a wide array of accommodation possibilities, inexpensive dining options, pristine parks, and numerous things to do that are free or very inexpensive. Your cheap Destin vacation can include camping at Henderson Beach State Park. There are 60 campsites with water and electric hook-ups, shower and toilet facilities with both air conditioning and heating, and a children's playground. The beach is even wheelchair accessible. If camping isn't for you, there are numerous motels and inexpensive hotels, some of which offer rooms with kitchenettes. For families and small groups, one of the best ways to find a cheap Destin vacation is to look into vacation rentals. Everything from condos and apartments to beach cottages and large vacation homes are available for rent.

There is, in fact, a plentiful supply of excellent Florida vacation rentals throughout the state—whether you are in cities, on the beaches, or exploring the wilds of the Everglades. Families and small groups can enjoy a cheap vacation in Florida in a rental property that can dramatically reduce the price of accommodation. Since $400 to $500 a night in Florida luxury hotels during peak season is not unheard of, spending that same amount on a self-contained house is a definite bargain. Additionally, a vacation rental gives you privacy; you never have to worry about your children disturbing other guests, and you won't be disturbed by other children or loud groups. Cooking facilities can eliminate many dining out costs, and many rentals come with laundry facilities. The state is a prime destination for weddings in Florida, and if you're in the position of having to find lodging for the wedding party, vacation rentals can be the perfect answer.

Overall, one of the best ways to put together a cheap vacation in Florida is to travel during the off season. Although the state is a year-round tourist destination, different parts of the state are more popular during different times of the year. Visit the Florida Keys or Key West on a summer vacation, and you should have your pick of accommodations at very affordable rates. However, the middle of the summer in Jacksonville may find the city packed with tourists.
