The best places to stay in Florida

One of the fabulous things about Florida is the variety of places to stay. So, if you are trying to decide which area of Florida will be best for you and your family, below you will find a rundown on the best places to stay and the attractions you can enjoy nearby. Many of our clients who find it hard to choose opt for a twin-centre holiday, choosing a villa close to the theme parks, followed by a stay at one of the beaches. That way, you get the best of both worlds.

Take a look below at some of the best areas to stay in and see which might become your new favorite Florida destination.

Florida villas Kissimmee

Apart from the fact that Kissimmee, which sits just south of Orlando, really does have one of the most charming names we have ever heard, there are lots of reasons you may want to make Kissimmee the base for your next holiday.

All of the major theme parks are within a 15-minute drive and, even if it's your first trip to this area, you'll find plenty of signposts along the major highways, making getting to Disney, Universal or SeaWorld super easy. Don't miss Old Town Kissimmee, which is a re-creation of a classic Florida town of days gone by, where you can take a ride on the iconic Ferris wheel as well as classic car weekend convoys. You'll also find a huge array of accommodation choices - Kissimmee has so many villas to choose from, it is often referred to as the vacation villa capital of the world!.

Orlando

Of course, no guide on where to stay during your Florida villa holiday would be complete without including Orlando. While, if you are travelling to this part of the world, you are likely to fly into Orlando International Airport, don't head straight out of Orlando without considering it as your holiday base.

All of the major theme parks are in Orlando itself, giving you easy access for one, or many, trips to Walt Disney Resort, SeaWorld and Universal Orlando. Plus, you'll find International Drive is bustling at any time of day, offering outlet malls and a wide variety of restaurants for all culinary tastes.

Punta Gorda

While they are undoubtedly one of its biggest attractions, Florida definitely isn't just about the theme parks, and many of our clients choose to explore a different part of the Sunshine State. Punta Gorda is easily reached from Tampa and Orlando as well as having its own domestic airport.

Once here, you will find a charming, perfectly-restored historic district as well as the Harbourwalk and Fisherman's Village where you can enjoy picturesque strolls. In many places, Punta Gorda feels like walking back in time as you will see palm-lined streets, tin-roofed homes and wide verandas for whiling away an hour or two.

Many homes are canal front, so you can watch the boats go by, and Punta Gorda also boasts some of the best beaches in Florida, making it one of the best places in Florida to relax and unwind. Head to Englewood Beach, Don Pedro State Park, Little Gasparilla Island or Port Charlotte Beach Park for a day by the water.

Sarasota

Sarasota is one of those dream destinations that definitely doesn't disappoint in reality. The sand along Sarasota's coastline is powder white and really has to be seen to be believed. There are six islands along Sarasota's coastline, each with their own distinct personality, so you can choose a different one each day if you want to. Take a trip to Longboat Key, Venice, Lido Key, Siesta Key or Manasota Key. We can't pick a favorite - it would be like asking us to choose a favorite child!.

If you can tear yourself away from the shore, you could also visit world-class museums, botanical gardens or the aquarium where you can see even more sealife. Or you can get onto the water rather than staying on the shore, and take a fishing trip, a boat tour, or get out on a kayak.

Cocoa beach

For space buffs and surf enthusiasts, Cocoa Beach is a must visit. Cocoa Beach is the gateway to the Kennedy Space Center where you can relive the Apollo moon landing, explore NASA's space program - and you might just be lucky enough to tick seeing a live rocket launch off your bucket list if the timing of your visit is right.

It's not all about looking to the sky at Cocoa Beach though. This is a destination which also boasts shops, restaurants and attractions worth exploring on the Cocoa Beach Boardwalk, as well as wide golden sands at Lori Wilson Park.
