The state’s gorgeous beaches—from those in the Florida Keys and West Palm Beach to 30A in the panhandle—are always a hit with vacationers. But don’t sleep on a city escape here, either; in cities like Tampa (my town), Jacksonville, Miami, and Orlando, there’s plenty to do and see for all ages.
While beach lovers might prioritize proximity to sand in Destin, Key West, or Clearwater, theme park enthusiasts will want easy access to Tampa or Orlando’s attractions. If you have specific activities or restaurants in mind, look beyond the Airbnb photos and check the map view to see what’s nearby before booking. Depending on your travel needs, search the reviews for more information about noise levels, parking, and walkability, and consider whether the property provides amenities that complement your trip, such as beach gear, bicycles, or a fully equipped kitchen for longer stays.
