Disclosure: Thank you to CarefreeRV Resorts for sponsoring today’s post and giving me the opportunity to spend the summer in Sarasota near the best Florida beaches!

A great road trip is an amazing way to reconnect with the family. The time spent traveling to get to our staycation destinations is time we get to freely chat about everything we are looking forward to in the near future. With limited open schedules a quick road trip to the west coast for a Florida family vacation is the ideal destination for us. We love exploring new towns and trying new adventures. For Mother’s Day, Papa planned a local staycation so just the two of us could get away for a day in the sun. So my gift to him for Father’s Day will be a fun Gulf Coast Florida family vacation to the Sun-N-Fun Resort in Sarasota!

The Sun-N-Fun is the perfect RV resort – you don’t even need an RV! – for the budget-conscious family looking for a nearby staycation getaway. Work schedules are heavy and sometimes all you really need is a quick weekend or even midweek trip away from home to unwind and relax. When planning a sun filled Florida family vacation you want to ensure that the resort you will be staying at has everything to meet your families needs. Here are some of the amenities I look for when planning our staycations:

– Swimming pool
– Special programs for kids
– Recreational and sports activities
– Exercise rooms – JUST KIDDING
– Pet friendly
– Dining options
– Proximity to ocean

The Sun-N-Fun resorts has not just the above, but soooooo many more amenities that it would take an entirely separate blog post to list them all, it is a 180-acre playground with over 150 activities and experiences during the winter and 15 themed weekends in the summer. Simply pack up the kids – and some clothes – and jump into the car for a fun and carefree staycation. Lounge out by the pool while the kids splash about, swing some clubs at the mini-golf station or head out to visit the beautiful nearby beaches, your staycation made your way!

Summer is almost here but it’s not too late to book your summer events and vacations with exclusive savings on 2+night stays and group rentals with the Special Carefree Offer. You can rent a vacation home/park model, bring your RV or even enjoy a Sarasota family camping trip in a tent. I’ve always wanted to go camping and have discussed our options with Papa recently. I can’t wait to visit the grounds of the Sun-N-Fun resort to take a tour and see what our options are for a future camping visit.

So what are some fun ways to enjoy a Florida family vacation in Sarasota?

– Staycations: Not enough PTO available? No problem! All you need is a day or two away from the daily hub of life to unwind and relax in a vacation home. Sip a Margarita by the pool or go fishing in the 10-acre lake or just snuggle in bed all day. There are 15 themed weekends available through the summer for extra fun!
– Group Events: Host the family reunion you’ve waited years to plan or a group getaway with your besties! Group reservations are easy to make and you get a discount. You even get your very own Events and Lifestyle Manager to assist.
– Party Time: The perfect venue for a summer pool birthday party for the kids or adults! Playing poolside, slip, slide and splash on the Mega slide, a dive-in movie, and pizza, burgers and party platters. A party that will replay in the minds of all your guests for a long time to come.
– RV Camping: Got an RV and hitting the road? Choose between crushed shell or grass site, both have concrete patios attached. All sites have a picnic table and full hookups which include 50 amp electrical service, water, sewer, and cable TV. And the best part? You get to enjoy all the amenities!
– Camping: Grab a tent and take the family on that camping trip you’ve promised but have never gotten around to planning. The Sun-N-Fun resort can help you book a camping spot and help you get back to nature.
