Last Minute, Warm Weather, Holiday Fun is at Your Fingertips, Courtesy of VacationSpot.com

    DALLAS, Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- 'Twas the night before Christmas and all
through the house, was a family complaining about the cold weather... "We
should be in Florida!" mother and father did grouse.
    Just because your stockings might already be hung by the chimney with care
doesn't mean you can't indulge in a little last-minute holiday vacation
planning to warm weather destinations, says VacationSpot.com, the most
comprehensive resource for booking vacation rentals and bed & breakfasts
worldwide on the Internet.
    "VacationSpot.com has a wide selection of vacation rentals all year long,"
says Rick Fisher, vice president of vacation rentals for VacationSpot.com.
"And even if you get the notion to take a last-minute holiday vacation, there
are many popular beach destinations at great prices that can accommodate
larger groups and families during the busy season."
    According to Fisher, popular Florida hot spots such as Orlando, Miami,
Fort Myers, Naples and the Caribbean have accommodations that, in many cases,
offer beach access with fabulous views, multiple bedrooms, patios,
kitchenettes or full kitchens, outdoor grills, in-unit whirlpools and stocked
refrigerators, all for the price of a traditional hotel room.
    One of the advantages of vacation rentals is that family members can each
have their own room and much-needed privacy.  In addition, everyone can easily
gather together for meals and family time in the common living room/kitchen
areas. And a two or three bedroom is a lot better value per person.

    VacationSpot.com is currently offering the following deals for December.

    Ft. Myers:
    Pointe Estero Beach Resort, two bedroom accommodations, from $275.00
    DiamondHead Beach Resort, one bedroom accommodations, from $240.00

    And what better way to muddle through those post-holiday doldrums than
with a last minute get-away to any of the following locations.  "Once again,
booking a vacation rental in a popular, warm weather or ski destination can be
easily done," Fisher adds.  "And bargain hunters will find some of the year's
best deals during that seven-week period between New Year's Day and Presidents
Day (in mid-February)."
