Love the charm of small-town festivals? Art, food, music, and crafts - it's an afternoon of laidback fun. Fall is festival time all over Florida. Here are some of the best:
- Mount Dora Craft Festival
- Key West's Fantasy Fest
- Florida Seafood Festival
- Old Florida Festival
- Winter Park's Autumn Art Festival
Some of Florida's top festivals are held in small towns, where hotels aren't as plentiful as they are in big cities like Orlando. Vacation rentals are a delightful alternative. With a vacation rental, you won't miss the fancy resorts for one second.
Fall is a great time to cuddle up in front of a fire or enjoy a soak in a hot tub. Lovely vacation homes, cottages, condos, and much more are available throughout Florida; you just have to know where to look. Luckily, there are a number of vacation rental websites that have already done the looking for you. They've scouted out top quality vacation rentals across the entire state. Some of the more popular sites include: vacationrentals.com, homeaway.com, and vacationrentalhotspots.com.
If it's amusement parks your heart desires, fall is the perfect time to visit Disney, Universal, and Busch Gardens. The weather is still warm, but the lines are much shorter. You can hop on Space Mountain two or three times if you like! Plus, Busch Gardens gets in the spooky spirit of October with "Howl-O-Scream." You can even trick-or-treat with Shamu and friends at Sea World.
Also, should fall weather keep you away from the beaches, Florida has plenty of museums for indoor fun. There are science, art, aviation, and sports museums. For something out of the ordinary, visit one of Florida's two "Ripley's Believe It or Not" museums or the Potter's Wax Museum.
There's so much to do and see, and you'll want to fit all of it into your vacation budget. Florida vacation rentals in the fall are one way to stretch your dollar. It's off season for vacation rental owners, too. Many of the vacation rental search engines previously mentioned provide you with detailed information about daily, weekly, and even monthly rental rates. That way, you're able to compare prices and find the best deal available.
