Florida Vacation Homes

What makes Florida such a desirable destination for people seeking to escape the rigors and rawness of winter? Well, endless days of sunshine are truly a good reason, plus the fact that you don’t have to shovel heat. Florida is famous for catering to families and the 55-plus crowd. And owning a Florida vacation home is as wonderful as it sounds. There are numerous well-maintained gated communities that would be ideal for your vacation home, complete with the most requested amenities, such as clubhouses with fitness centers, resort-style swimming pools and tennis courts, planned activities for its residents, and a social director to help you join in the fun.

With the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Gulf of Mexico on the west, it's the perfect vacationland to enjoy boating, scuba diving, snorkeling and swimming. Also, you can enjoy your favorite outdoor sports almost every day: golf (Palm Beach County has more golf courses than any other county in the U.S. Naples is the Golf Capital of the World); tennis (there are thousands of courts); or fishing (Florida is the Fishing Capital of the World). Florida is also the fun and sightseeing capital.

The beautiful weather permits vacationers to enjoy fun-filled attractions like Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Lion Country Safari, Flamingo Gardens, Everglades Wildlife Sanctuary, Jungle Island, Miami Seaquarium, Zoo Miami, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, and so many more. For a nice drive you can travel down to Key West to visit the Ernest Hemingway House and the Harry Truman Little White House, and stand at the southern-most point in the continental USA.

Shopping at outlet centers, visiting animal habitats, sightseeing, museums, art galleries, and other cultural venues or enjoying the many state and national parks that dot the landscape can make any day an adventure. If you had a Florida vacation home you could easily visit the Florida Keys, the nearby Bahamas, and all of the Caribbean. There are many flights and plenty of cruise ships to take you there. Plus, Florida has a wide variety of free attractions. It costs nothing to walk along the waterfront, enjoy scenic ocean views or stroll along city sidewalks and community bike paths. The point is you'll never run out of things to do, no matter what your age.
