Best Time to Visit Florida

Florida is a year-round vacation destination. However, consider these facts about when to get the best deals on Florida vacation rentals:

South Florida high season rates are from mid-December through mid-March when winter wreaks havoc in the northeast. Summer in south Florida at hot and humid.
North Florida experiences a change of seasons and opposite high seasons. Summer is high season. Fall and spring are optimal times to visit. Temperature on winter nights may occasionally drop near freezing and daytime temperature average 62º F.
In the Orlando area, Disney theme parks are packed during summer months and holidays when the kids are out of school. If travel plans are flexible, take the kids out of school a few days and reserve your Disney home rental or Florida vacation rental during the shoulder season prior to or immediately after high season rates. For example, visit Disney in October, avoid crowds and enjoy the wonderful respite from summer heat and humidity.

After four major hurricanes hit Florida in 2004, many visitors expressed concerns about travel to Florida during hurricane season. Fortunately, major hurricanes are still a rare weather event. Florida has averaged only one major hurricane hit every two years in more than 100 years. Nevertheless, hurricane season runs from June through November with the highest probabilities of a hurricane impact in mid-August through early October. Even if a tropical system is forecast for Florida, the storm can affect one part of the state while the sun shines in other parts. Early and improved weather forecasting also provides advance warning of potential weather problems. If hurricanes are a concern, plan your Florida vacation rental for months outside of the seasons or protect your travel investment with travel insurance.
