In a bind - Tampa trip spring break air done accommodations impossible

[Anonymous]

Not sure when your spring break is (mine is now). Does it have to be Tampa? Check out Dunedin on Airbnb. It's a super cute nearby town--I see lots of houses listed below $160 / night, like this one: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/5914597?guests=3&s=Vb-xcNYk#_=_

Spring break at a FL beach? Good luck finding something last minute. Definitely try VRBo

When I looked last week, even VRBO was pretty limited or very expensive.

Fort Meyers/Estero island? Check for condos in bonita springs...it's not on the beach, but you can drive to Naples, Estero, etc.

There are tons of gulf course condo developments in the area that should be more reasonably priced.

This. You need to get off the water and you'll find something. Then just drive to a public beach.

Here's one in Winter Garden. Tons of cheap stuff comes up if you search Orlando (I just looked at the week of March 27 out of curiosity, not sure when your spring break actually is).

You'll prob have to pay about 60 more per night.
St. Pete Beach, Sarasota, Clearwater area like maybe Indian Rocks?
VRBO, Sanibel, Captiva, try also Gasparilla Island, if you would like to do the Naples/Marco Island area and can't find anything try the Lely Resort area (it's warm, nice pools, golf, close drive to Everglades/10,000Islands/Marco/Naples/Bonita Springs
Bonta Springs area the Hyatt at Coconut Point is full but the Hyatt Place nearby has avail.
Manasota Key? No pool but quiet location near the beach https://www.vrbo.com/3945661ha and you don't want canal front with a toddler anyway

Was flabbergasted to see all the places I would have recommended in Boca Grande/Gasparilla are booked, I guess the word got out

Looks like Key Colony Beach has availability, it's a very long drive, though
This little place in Tarpon Springs https://www.vrbo.com/343582
puts you close to the ferry to Anclote Key & great Greek food
https://www.vrbo.com/4022389ha Bellair Beach near Indian Rocks, has avil for first part of week
I like to split my time when I visit Tampa and explore more than one community
This place rents in Captiva but they only have one house left and its a bit more than what you quoted http://www.captiva-island.com/amrc/search.htm
Royal Shell is a SW Florida company that will have something
