earch of the lowest cost surfside beach condo or any other seaside vacation home, there are a few factors that significantly determine the cost of your oceanfront property rental.

Location

The more popular vacations destinations and vacation spots close to tourist attractions generally have the highest rate for oceanfront property accommodations.

If the main objective of your vacation is the enjoyment of being at the beach you have many choices for vacation home rentals, each offering equal or better beaches, views, amenities and substantial savings. If your vacation plans include visiting cultural or recreational attractions and you want to save money on your vacation home rental consider renting your surfside beach condo at a neighboring beach. Weigh the cost of time and travel over the convenience and extra expense of being nearby to decide if the savings are significant enough to consider.

Also keep in mind that choosing an oceanfront property rental in an area less frequented by tourists, gives you a great opportunity to get away from it all, get some rest and relaxation. After all isn’t that what vacations are known for?

Season

Season plays a big part in cost of renting a surfside beach condo. You’ll find the lowest priced vacation home rentals in midsummer in the most southern states, such as Florida. While the lowest price vacation home rentals can be found in the fall and winter in the Carolinas.

By doing a little research on weather and seasonal prices you could save a substantial amount of money on the cost of a surfside beach condo or other oceanfront property rental.

Ownership

By far this can be one of the most significant factors determining the rental rate of a surfside beach condo. There are a significant amount of condo owners that don’t live full-time in their oceanfront property homes and rent them weekly, monthly, and or seasonally.

Because these properties usually don’t get the exposure of managed vacation rentals, there are definitely some bargains to be found. Searching the internet for vacation rentals by owners will give you a treasure trove of properties to choose from.

Amenities

Amenities are usually a big deciding factor in the cost of renting a vacation home but they don’t have to be the biggest one. By using the methods above to help find a surfside beach condo you may find yourself enjoying the same amenities as other vacation home rentals but just paying less.

Florida is a vacationer’s paradise with its ample sunshine, miles of beaches, and abundance of attractions that can satisfy the appetite of every age group. No matter which Florida destination you have in mind for your next trip, you can soak in all the beauty and have easy access to all the best activities and amusements when you stay in a vacation rental that is right for you.

With its miles of coastline along the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, it is quite possible that you will be staying along the shores in a bustling and exciting city. Whether you choose the Emerald Coast in a city like Destin or the Atlantic Ocean in stunning West Palm Beach, you can find a home or condo rental that sits directly on the water and has some of the most breathtaking views imaginable. Relaxation awaits when you step onto your private deck or balcony and listen to the sound of the waves crashing ashore and slowly forget all the stress you have left behind.

Views of the water are one thing, but having the soft sand directly behind your accommodations is more convenient than you ever imagined. Heading out for a day at the beach is no longer filled with everyone rushing around, throwing stuff into a giant beach bag and then lugging the monstrosity towards the water as the kids run around you. All you need to do is step out the back door and therein lies the sand, waiting for you to sun on its soft body and build sandcastles near the shore. You can make as many trips as you need back into the house, meaning you no longer need to pack for an entire day and you won’t miss out on any of the fun since your supplies are a shore stroll away.

As the most popular destination in Florida, you can find numerous home and condo rentals in the Orlando/Disney area. Enjoy the best in family accommodations in a spacious home filled to the brim with amenities such as a private pool and plenty of beach towels while staying only minutes from the Disney World theme parks. You can come home and relax under the dwindling Florida sun after a long day of enjoying rides and attractions while the kids burn off the last of their energy by swimming and jumping in and out of the pool.

If you are looking for a private retreat where you can escape to surroundings unlike any other, the Florida Keys have you covered. Enjoy a Key Largo vacation rental that is covered with towering trees and radiant flowers as you listen to the sweet song of the birds overhead and soak in the sweet smell of the nearby flora. This is a secret tropical haven for anyone who wants to get back to nature without missing out on any of the Keys fun since a private dock sits in the backyard, begging you to come forward and experience some of the best onshore fishing available.

For those visiting a Florida destination such as Miami Beach for the cultural allure, you can choose to stay slightly off the beaten path by opting for a rental that is not in the touristy parts but rather integrates you into the lively, cultural atmosphere. With rentals available in a variety of neighborhoods, you are sure to find one that makes it easy to enjoy the sights and sounds you are drawn to. Forget about being forced to stay in a hotel that is situated in an area that does not interest you since you can choose accommodations that allow you to experience the community in a manner tailored to your needs.

Florida vacation rentals are located throughout the Sunshine State so you can enjoy all the comforts and conveniences of home no matter which area draws you in with its attractions and amusements. Whether you will be spending the majority of your vacation on the beach or in the city, there is a centrally located vacation home or condo rental that will make it easy to experience everything you want to see and do. Begin your search for the perfect rental today and dive into a more exciting and relaxing Florida adventure than you could have ever imagined.

Every year, Dr. Beach, aka Dr. Stephen Leatherman, Director of Florida International University’s Laboratory for Coastal Research issues his pronouncement of the best beaches in America. Generally, at least 3 of Florida’s beaches make the list. The anticipation of the pronouncement is keen, to say the least.

But the popularity of announcing best beaches has gone much beyond the trend began by Dr. Leatherman years ago.

There are pronouncers of best beaches sprouting up as quickly as beaches can be found.

The Travel Channel did a show not too long ago that had great visual appeal. Because it was a filmed feature and not reliant on still photography, the program really put Florida in a whole new light. The visuals were awesome and would make some question why they would ever leave the state of Florida to go to a beach anywhere else.

The show featured the top ten beaches in Florida and gave the reasons for why each was chosen to be on the list:

10 - Daytona Beach: activities and driving up and down the beach

9 - Sanibel Island (Gulf side): sea shell collecting

8 - Panama City: Spring Break

7 - Sandspur Beach (Bahia Honda): Nature preserve

6 - Smathers Beach (Key West): island-style

5 - Clearwater Beach: boating, even a pirate cruise

4 - Lover’s Key Beach (outside Ft. Myers): seclusion/couples (Lover’s Key Beach Club Resort)

3 - Palm Beach: living the high life, shopping (The Breakers Hotel)

2 - Siesta Key Beach: soft sand (Sand Sculpture Contest)

1 - South Beach (Miami): international scene (latin influence), winter fashion, non-stop nightlife

A life long beach lover and unofficial beach rater for many years and from many countries and continents, I would really have to question this rationale. I mean, seriously, would someone really go to a beach because they could drive their car up and down the beach?

I go to beaches to escape cars (and noise and traffic)!

Similarly, I don’t need a beach to go to a beautiful hotel, go shopping, party or mingle with the rich and famous. Cities are made for scenes like this.

So, were I to toss out numbers 10, 8 and 1, it would only leave 7 top beaches in Florida, moving Sanibel into much higher ranking…..where it should be.

Why, you ask?

Well, Sanibel is great for shelling, one of the top 3 beaches in the world for that activity. Because the Gulf is generally calm, it is also great for boating. It is bordered by a nature preserve, so it is fantastic for nature viewing. There are many points of seclusion on Sanibel’s beaches, including the popular Bowman’s Beach near our condo and house where one can find privacy and romantic ambiance (try doing that on Siesta Key, as lovely as the sand is!)

Using as a more valid comparison the reasons I believe that most people seek out beaches—- nature, beauty, boating, seclusion—- Sanibel would more than likely win the race.

While Florida holds boundless vacation appeal for a wide variety of reasons, it is the unexpected that may sway you towards New Smyrna Beach for your next getaway. With its charming atmosphere, quiet splendor, and prime waterfront setting, it has never been easier to surround yourself with endless excitement and utter relaxation when you stay in a New Smyrna Beach vacation rental.

Located along the Atlantic Coast and offering 13 miles of soft sandy beaches, New Smyrna Beach invites vacationers to step away from the everyday and experience a getaway without the slightest hint of stress. While nearby hot spot Daytona Beach drives endless crowds towards its renowned sands, New Smyrna Beach quietly features the same scenic beauty to create a relaxed and picturesque environment without any of the commotion you might find elsewhere.

Imagine a day in New Smyrna Beach and all of the opportunities for adventure that are waiting just outside your accommodations. The sparkling white sand is always perfect for working on your tan, while the crisp ocean water is just right for a refreshing dip or an hour of surfing. Another great option is to hob aboard your boat rental and set out for a day of sunning, fishing, birding, dolphin watching, or any other activity of interest. Even if you need a break from the water’s edge, New Smyrna Beach is an accommodating host with its numerous golf courses, fine tennis courts, and proximity to Cape Canaveral.

Now that you are beginning to form a picture of New Smyrna Beach’s finest qualities, there is even more to consider if this Eastern Seaboard gem appeals to sense of vacation perfection. While you know that New Smyrna Beach is located along the water, what you don’t know is how close you can actually be to its serene sounds and exciting pursuits. In a vacation home rental, you can stay directly along on the soft sand and just a few steps away from the Atlantic, meaning convenience and entertainment are literally right outside your doorstep.

With the wide selection of New Smyrna Beach vacation rentals, it is easy to find a home that suits your individual vacation needs. You are essentially customizing your accommodations when you select how many bedrooms and bathrooms your traveling party needs, what kind of amenities you might want to take advantage of, or even where exactly you want to stay in the city. Whether you want a secluded villa for a cozy retreat or a spacious beach house directly on the water, you can create the getaway you always imagined with a lodging option that fits your vacation style.

While you are probably imagining yourself in your rental right now, heading out for the beach that lies right off your patio, you cannot forget the nighttime delights of your home away from home. Rather than the single TV and unmistakable boredom you find in other accommodations, many New Smyrna Beach rentals come complete with features such as a media room, a private pool and hot tub, board games, and incredible views from the deck or patio. Day or night, your vacation rental’s sole purpose is to ensure that your time in New Smyrna Beach is always engaging and never dull.

From the space and convenience to the little extras that make you feel as if your own home as been moved to an impossibly beautiful waterfront haven, you simply cannot help but relax and enjoy yourself when you choose the right rental for your family. The next time the sun and sand of Florida calls out to you but the thought of never-ending crowds makes you want to rethink your destination of choice, head to New Smyrna Beach for a getaway that will rekindle your faith in the possibility of a truly restful vacation.
