There are plenty of places to stay and lots of inexpensive things to do in Florida, so there’s no need to break the bank.

Here’s an excerpt from my article on inexpensive beach accommodations:

The beach hotel lives in a harsh environment. Constant wet salty
breezes saturate everything with a layer of corrosive salt spray.
Things rust overnight. All year thousands of tourists track sand and
water in and out of their rooms, leave wet bathing suits hanging
over the backs of chairs, and bring dripping wet beach gear into the
room.

Tub drains fill up with sand, slowing drainage, and
air-conditioners strain to take the humidity out of moisture-laden
air. The fast turnover of hotel rooms during the busy season wears
out sheets, towels and furniture and stretches the capacity of the
service staff to the limits. Only the most expensive hotels are able
to keep their properties maintained to the highest standards.

If you are staying in a cheap to moderately priced hotel,
lower your expectations a bit. You are here to enjoy the beach.
Don’t freak if the carpet is a little worn, or has a stain.
