Taking a Time Off at Jacksonville

By Francene Gollnick


Jacksonville, Florida is considered to be one of the best places to stay for those who wish to have an enjoyable vacation or a much needed break from work. The mere fact that it is one of the most beautiful cities in the state of Florida should be more than enough to encourage anyone to come and rent a place for a short vacation here. Looking for such accommodation should not be hard here.

Of course, it would be foolish to just spend hours inside one's accommodation; going out and checking the sights of interest in the city should be done. Two of the things to do are to visit the Jacksonville Zoo or to go to the Catty Shack Wildlife. The state of Florida takes pride in the fact that it has a unique wildlife that the rest of the country may not have. This could certainly be seen in the kinds of animals that the two places of interest have.

When the sun is down, the city of Jacksonville transforms into a fun city of the night. Those visiting could check out the theaters and the live music scene. Two of these that should not be missed are the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra and the Florida Theatre. Before enjoying these though, it would be great to have dinner at any of the city's fine restaurants.

If you are into fine arts or if you want to make your tour more educational, make the museums part of the places in the city that you should see. After all, these have been recognized as important places of interest in the city too, which include the Jacksonville Fire Museum and the Museum of Southern History. A couple of hours in each of the two would truly be educational.

Jacksonville is known for being a golf enthusiast's haven. Its many golf courses that are all well-kept are its prized possessions. This is especially true because all these are of international standard. This is the reason why international tournaments have made the city a favorite venue. The golf courses make this possible.

While in Jacksonville, vacationers can go for long term rentals if they are going to stay in the city for a month at least. There are also short term rentals available if you are not able to stay more than a few days or a week. Another important thing that vacationers should know is that the other option of staying in a hotel is actually the more expensive one and provides much fewer amenities than a good long term rental in Jacksonville or a short term rental in Jacksonville.
