My family is looking to travel in state for a week long vacation. We've done Disney numerous times and were thinking of trying something different. At first, being big Disney fanatics, my mother suggested Disney's cabin rentals at Fort Wilderness. But before we go off to yet another Disney trip, I thought I would see if anyone knows of any unique cabins elsewhere in the state. Nothing too rustic- my mother likes her comfort and isn't down for tenting anywhere. But considering there is a wide range of ages in my family from 50's down to 7 months, we would like a place with lots of different activities. Any suggestions? Has anyone ever been to Seaside Florida? If so, how was it?

Ever gone KOA Kabin camping? You bring your own blankets, sheets, pillows, and towels and you get a bundle of savings. There is a great KOA near Naples and Marco Island. http://www.koa.com/where/fl/09109/localarea/ Get a Lodge or Kottage with kitchen and private bath for the adults and an across the street Kabin (sleeps up to 6, use toilets and showers at the conveniently located shower house). From here you can tour the Everglades, spend at least 2 days ocean kayaking from Isle of Capri, rent bicycles on Sanibel or Captiva. On your way up or down the west coast, enjoy a day at Busch Gardens, a quiet and surprisingly affordable park, a "whole different world" compared to that of Disney. Enjoy a full meal with table service overlooking the wildlife park with a live piansit providing soft background music for about what you'd pay to eat at one of Mickey's snack bars. If you want "the full monty" then load up car and drive it aboard the Naples-Key West ferry. Drive north across the famous Seven Mile Bridge, take scenic Card Sound Road into Maimi "the back way." Spend a day at Monkey Jungle or cruising Deco Drive in South Beach.
