Hi Katie,

Excellent idea

There is a Gulf Coast section on the forum to give you some ideas and a number of Gulf Coast villas to rent on the links above.

Be aware that many areas on the Gulf are not zoned for weekly rentals but all the ones on this site are.

We have had a number of guests stay on the 2nd week of a 2 centre vacation and all have been very pleased to visit and enjoy the thrills of Orlando and then relax a bit more near the beach.
