How to Plan an Awesome, Last-Minute Vacation to Naples, Florida

Ready to visit Naples, Florida? For some travelers, the best beach vacations are in Naples, Florida. One of the most beloved destinations on the Gulf Coast. Whether its winter break or summer vacation the sunshine state has a lot of amazing things to do, and many of them are free.

Pulling off a last-minute vacation is more feasible than you might think.


Before buying airline tickets to Florida decide what part of the state you want to explore: There’s so much to do in Florida, it’s hard to know where to begin. Below we discuss peak season and offseason. Sure, you could opt for a cruise or ski trip in the mountains-but why spend a lot of money on a touristy hotspot when you can come to Florida for a weekend getaway?
Book a Florida trip to the gulf side to see Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades – year-round destination spots with resorts, condos, golf courses and enough sand and sun to keep anyone happy.

Pick a Place that Speaks to You

Love the water? Spend your weekend basking on the beach, kayaking down a river, or watching the sunset into the Gulf of Mexico. Maybe you enjoy a round of golf or excited by exploring the great outdoors. The ideal Florida getaway does not always mean an amusement park but following your interests will let you enjoy yourself wherever you are.

Consider Renting a Vacation Home

It has all the comforts of home but provides the excitement of something new. Plus, if you’re looking for some of the cheapest vacation ideas, this one is for you. Renting a house for a weekend getaway gives you plenty of freedom—cook, watch movies, take naps on the couch, play board games…the possibilities are endless. Most rentals are available on a nightly basis and come fully stocked with kitchen equipment, bedding, towels, and more—it’s all up to the individual owners, so make sure you check what’s included before booking.

Extend Your Weekend

Three-day weekends are a great time to plan a getaway, but you don’t have to wait for one to have fun. If you’re able, take off early on Friday so you can enjoy your weekend adventure with your friend or partner to the fullest. Also, you might be able to find cheaper flights and accommodations if you leave and depart during the week.
