Coastal Florida offers a variety of accommodations to suit every need from budget motels to posh upscale resorts and glistening high-rise condos. Chain motels line the main approach roads to cities and along beaches. Brand-name high-rise hotels predominate many sections of the coast and are sometimes the only accommodations in city centers. And if you plan to spend a week at the beach, there's nothing like an old-fashioned beach house on stilts where the salty air blows in off the sea.
