Unnoticed Florida Region Emerges as One of the Year's Favorite Spring Getaways
Spring break enthusiasts are reportedly swerving Miami, Florida, this year, with their eyes set on the northern part of the state. Two lesser-known but incredibly charming 30A beach towns, Rosemary Beach and Miramar Beach, are making waves as the most popular spring travel destinations.
According to Vrbo's 2025 Vacation Guide, these Walton County gems are treasured for their powdery, white-sand beaches and laid-back vibes. Rosemary Beach draws inspiration from European charm with its pedestrian-friendly streets, pristine beaches, and St. Augustine, New Orleans, and Charleston-inspired architecture.
While Miramar Beach might not boast such historical touches, it more than makes up for it with its incredible beaches and an array of beachfront rental options. This family-friendly spot offers a plethora of outdoor activities – from biking to snorkeling to parasailing.
Curiously, other trending spring break spots include Gatlinburg, Tennessee; Gulf Shores, Alabama; and Colorado ski resorts like Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, and Keystone. Kissimmee, Florida, near Walt Disney World, is the sole Florida destination spotlighted in the report.
For the best deals and selection of homes, Vrbo advises booking your vacation home at least two months before your travel dates.
Now, here's where things get interesting. While Vrbo's 2025 Vacation Guide doesn't appear to have specified the most popular spring break destinations for 2023, some search results suggest intriguing possibilities. For instance, Mexico's Cancun offers pet-friendly rentals and beachfront properties, making it a compelling spring break choice.
Gatlinburg, Tennessee, is another intriguing option, as it offers rentals near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. And, of course, who could forget Florida's Miramar Beach or the less famous but equally appealing Rosemary Beach, which could reap the benefits of its location along the 30A corridor, famous for its uncrowded beaches and luxury amenities like heated pools and outdoor activities.
So, while Vrbo's guide remains elusive on the specifics, it seems that a vibrant mix of sun, sand, and adventure awaits in these trending spring break spots.
