Introduction
Lodging in Fort Myers and Naples can be pricey, but there are affordable properties even during the busy winter season. If these destinations are too rich for your budget, consider visiting in the off-season, when rates drop drastically. Beachfront properties tend to be more expensive; to spend less, look for properties away from the water. Punta Gorda and Charlotte Harbor have more in the budget range. In high season -- Christmas through Easter -- always reserve ahead for the top properties. Fall is the slowest season: rates are low and availability is high, but this is also the prime time for hurricanes.
