Pent-up demand. Without getting into politics, there is also a certain subset of the population that is enamored with Florida and their current leadership, mostly over their response (or rather, lack thereof) to the pandemic. Also places like Key West, Miami/Miami Beach, Orlando, etc., are always going to command a premium. As others have mentioned, if you're willing to go a little off the beaten path there are affordable rates in places like Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Tampa/St. Pete, etc.

I happen to peek again last night. Most hotels on or near the water are $600/night and I'm talking Courtyards. Really? How can this last?

Ian, tell us when and where. Maybe some of us can assist you. You’re heading into Spring Break right now. It’s actually $50 a night when you share the room with your 11 buddies.

Are absolutely ridiculous. All over the state too. We’re talking about $700 per night at courtyards in EYW.
Most of America can’t afford these prices myself included nor would I ever pay such an absurd amount. I know simple econ 101 applies but when will this stabilize? Random tip: Also, for anyone that thinks Airbnb doesnt get your "points", Delta has a tie up with aribnb. Just google Delta Airbnb! my miles a day into the stay itself! |

During my recent trip to MIA (Feb 11-13) hotels around MIA and even WPB were so expensive that I decided to look around at Airbnb's and found an affordable one in Palm Springs. Bonus (for me), I took the train (Brightline one way, TriRail the other way) from MIA to WPB area and made it a rail+florida mini vacation.

Spring break sure but I have never seen $600/night for a courtyard for any spring break ever before.
Airbnb and VRBO are indeed good places to look. I spend as many nights with them as I do in hotels every year, although admittedly stays of a week or more. |

You still haven’t mentioned where and when you want to go. It’s a big state and there’s still 10 months left in 2022.

I was able to find a HGI on the beach for $200/night @ DAB 4/14-4/16
Weve stayed at the Daytona Beach Shores Hampton Inn and Holiday Inn Express. I think both were under renovation during our stays. Things don’t stay nice for long there. |

I know the property, although I haven’t stayed there. Hopefully Spring Break will not have destroyed it before your arrival.
