Vacation Packages

Have you ever wondered why Florida is seen as the dream vacation location for both regular people and the famous? Is it because of the eternal sunshine? Or perhaps the low cost of living there? Nobody knows for certain, but one thing is for sure, Florida never yearns for tourists, they are here all year round. Those who are looking to relax, or those who want something more exciting head for the sunshine state. Although you can go pretty much anywhere in Florida and have a good time, there is one place which is practically undiscovered that offers any type of holiday that you could want. Cape Coral – Florida’s hidden gem.

Situated on the southwest coast of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico, Cape Coral is a large peninsula, border by the Caloosahatchee River to the east and south. The 400 miles of navigable waterways around Cape Coral make it the perfect paradise for boat lovers and canoeing enthusiasts.

Right now there are many private homes for rent in Florida. The downturn in the economy and the lower house prices has brought private investors out in their droves. The great news is that the greater competition in private vacation homes for rent has meant that the weekly rental prices have also dropped. But getting the lowest price doesn’t necessarily mean you are getting the best value. Always make sure the home you are planning on renting is in a nice neighborhood, and is feature rich in its offerings. The temperatures in Cape Coral range from the low 50′s in the summer, up into the early 100′s in the summer. So if you are looking for a summer rental then a private pool would be thoroughly recommended. Something else you should look out for is the view from your vacation rental. Assuming you will be spending some time at home relaxing, it is always better to have something pleasant to look at and to be in a calming environment. So you may want to rent one of the many vacation houses on offer with a waterfront or canal view.

When you are on vacation it isn’t necessary for you to eat out in restaurants every night. Perhaps you may prefer to have the odd evening in your rental home. If that’s the case then you can shop for groceries at the many neighborhood stores and self cater when you return home.

The best bargains can probably be had by renting from private home owners, rather than the professional companies who manage these homes, since there are no middle man fees added on. Just make sure you use the Internet to see photographs of the place you are going to rent, or even better, watch a virtual video tour, which most vacation home owners offer these days.

Cape Coral is a 3 hour drive from Orlando, which of course is famous for Disneyworld and Mickey Mouse. A little closer to home you can find the bigger cities of Miami (2 hours), Fort Lauderdale (1 hour 45 minutes), Tampa (2 hours), Naples (40 minutes) and Fort Myers (15 minutes). Fort Myers is the ex-home of two of our brightest minds, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. Cape Coral itself is home to many activities such as paintballing, go-cart racing and ten-pin-bowling, so it isn’t just for the boating enthusiasts among us.

Cape Coral really is Florida’s hidden secret. So if you are looking to pay a visit to Florida any time soon, then why not look for a Cape Coral vacation house? It really could prove not only to be the vacation of a lifetime, but also a very cost effective one too.
