Vacation Home Rental

Hello Everyone,
My wife and I are planning on heading south for a little vacation. We want to be in Florida may 7-14. I have never been there and we are making the trip from Ohio. We are planning on hitting the gulf side and looking at either sarasota or ft. meyers currently. Our little girl loves the water, and we plan on spending most of our time at the beach. Is the water warm enough around this time? I looked on weather.com and it shows sarasota at mid 80′s in May. What are some other areas you would recommend for a family. We love being outdoors, and are wanting to know some other ideas for our vacation. Please help us out! We are open to any suggestions. Thanks

I am on a tight budget and I have 4 kids ….What are some things we can do that don’t cost that much $? Swimming, tours, Shows? Is Downtown Disney expensive? Please help! Thanks! Any ideas will help…..

My family and I want to rent a house in Florida in December this year. We were thinking key west (keeping tradition) but we usually camp. this year will be different, and maybe even the location. What are some good, warm, oceanside cities in florida that you recommend?

We would be going in january and puerto rico would be for a wedding and keys would be for a relaxing vacation with 12 other people and in a houseboat. Could soomeone tell me which is better, because we here puerto rico is beautiful but we are almost set on going to the keys.

Help! Im leaving for Florida at the end of the month (June) and I need help on what to bring. I am 12 years old and I need Help Badly! Thanks!

I just want to get away and enjoy the beach and night life. Any advice where to go and what to do? I have been a few times but this time I wanted to get advice! I will need a rental for a week or two also. I didn’t want to go over 00. so if anyone knows of anything please recommend.

My husband and I used to live in CA and enjoyed vacationing in Hawaii. Now that we live in TX and have a toddler, we’re fairly sure we can’t do the 8.5 hour flight that it would take to get us there. We’d like to take a "tropical" vacation without leaving the mainland…is there somewhere in Florida that has super white sand beaches…warm water, etc. and is really kid friendly like the island of Oahu? I don’t know anything about the state and have heard varying things about Miami, Destin, the Keys, etc. Would love to hear from you if you’ve taken a beach vacation to Florida and thought it was just awesome! (Or, maybe there’s another state that offers what we’re looking for? Myrtle Beach, etc?)
Thanks!

My friend and I are thinking of going to Florida in early September. We love the outdoors and theme parks. We would like to go kayak, air boat, cliff jumping, jet ski, hike/bike if any, lounging at beaches, snorkeling, and anything else outdoors that’s a blast.

We would like to know where the best places for these if they are available and any other suggestions for what to do down there.

I’m a regular guy from Minnesota (pretty harsh winter here now) who is 36 years old, and my girlfriend and I recently made plans to fly to Orlando over the January 27-31 weekend and take a cruise ship to the Bahamas for a few days. I just graduated law school a few days ago, and my girlfriend just finished her grad school program as well — so we thought we’d skip town for a few days to get to some warm weather and celebrate. Problem is, she just dumped me the other day, so now I guess I’m flying solo. I might be able to refund the cruise fare I spent (vacation insurance), not sure on that yet. But I can’t refund the airfare, so I’m headed to Orlando for a few days, arriving Thursday night and leaving Monday night. I’ve never been on an overnight cruise before, but it sounded like fun to do (as a couple). But cruising solo, I’m not sure about that? Any thoughts or ideas of fun stuff to do in Florida for an extended weekend? I figure that I’ll rent a car in Orlando and see where it takes me. I’m usually up for decent live music, good beer and stuff like that, but for this vacation I was actually just looking forward to relaxing on the beach with some drinks, etc. Should I go on the cruise solo? Or should I stay on land and find a good beach spot somewhere? What is better for warm weather and good beaches this time of year — the Gulf Coast or the Atlantic Coast? Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
