With its year-round warm climate and almost always clear skies, Florida definitely lives up to its nickname of "The Sunshine State". Millions of people flock to the southern peninsula each year to escape dreary winters and enjoy sun, fun and Mickey Mouse. Florida claims over 800 miles of sandy beaches and features a diverse collection of destinations ranging from cosmopolitan centers (Miami) to vibrant party places (Daytona Beach) to leisurely retreats like Fort Myers. But there's more to Florida than just sunshine. Away from urban areas and resorts lie forests and rivers, deserted strands filled with wildlife and primeval swamps. Floridians have maintained thousands of acres of wilderness areas including, of course, the magnificent Everglades National Park in the south, but also more modest spaces such as Clam Pass County Park in downtown Naples.

Vacationers in Florida usually spend more of their time outdoors swimming, sunning, golfing or just collecting shells by the sea shore; there's something for everyone in Florida. Vacation home rentals in Florida by Costa Holiday Homes offer a beautiful and comfortable home base from which to explore the many faces of Florida.
