1. Fewer Crowds
If you have ever visited the beach during the summer months, you are well versed in all things crowds. The beaches and roads are packed full of guests. Of course, the summer months are the warmest making beach days fun, however, visiting during the fall cuts the crowds in half. This makes it easier to drive through town stopping for a bite to eat and claim your spot in the sand with an uninterrupted view.
2. Perfect Weather
It doesn’t truly start to get cold until approximately the end of September, the beginning of October along the Gulf Coast. Because of this, summer is extended! Booking a trip during the fall months means having warm weather and sunshine during the day and cooler temperatures at night. Comfortable weather means wanting to be outside more which leads to greater adventures and quality time with family!
3. Better Rates
With fewer crowds and fewer people booking vacations during the fall, you tend to have better rates on vacation condos and homes. Be sure to visit our website for the most recent pricing. We are also signing on new properties every week! So check back with us frequently to see if the perfect vacation condo in Destin, Orange Beach, or 30A is added to our inventory.
