Reasonably Priced (and Fun) US Beach Vacations?
This Web site was born as a result of 30 years planning and "shopping" by my Wife and I for great affordably priced ( cheap ) US vacation beaches for our family beach vacations and oceanfront timeshare exchanges.
-- Trips to FUN* beach areas rich with nearby interesting attractions.
(* "Fun" is a very important ingredient of US Beach Vacations!)
Nearby Fun Attractions and Beaches + Tips
 |
We have "pre-vacation" checked online + driven to and done an "on-site" check of many local beaches and area attractions - some worth the drive, some not. (My Wife takes notes, I take pictures + we keep and make notes on the Attraction brochures!)
Thus we can share some of our Attraction "Reviews" with Driving times from major beach areas, approximate time needed to view attraction, many pictures, and even some discount tips to help extend your vacation dollars -- for fun and cheap vacation beaches.
Save Planning Time and Vacation Dollars?
My Wife and I obviously wish looking back that we had known what we do now about planning and saving money on Family Beach Vacations. This free US Vacation "Guide" Site is to help You save Vacation planning time and hard earned Beach Vacation money.
-- So you can profit from our 30 years of US Beach Vacations experiences -- and sometimes expensive mistakes.
I(we) have tried to make this Web site an easy to use "Picture Enhanced" free "Online Guide" to help you save time, money, and have maximum FUN on your next trip to Florida, Oregon, or Virginia Vacation beaches.
Reasonably Priced Florida & Virginia Vacation Attractions
We've even discovered some great reasonably priced (aka. cheap) Florida and Virginia vacation beaches possibilities to FUN beach areas rich with nearby fun and interesting attractions. Included with Pictures and "Reviews" so you can see what is really available in the area -- the "Must See" nearby places of interest
-- at " cheap " vacation beaches prices.
My wife and I have been traveling to eastern US vacation beaches for now 30 years. Up until a few years ago, we also traveled with our two kids (along with our Kids Travel Game & Activities Top Picks) Mostly trips to Virginia and Florida with some occasional vacations to Coastal Oregon.
Affordable Ocean Front Condo Rentals?
We even have some reviewed reasonably priced Oceanfront Florida Cocoa Beach Condo Rentals and Virginia Beach OceanFront Rentals - and have a few Resort Timeshare Exchanging and Rental Tips with pictures, rental price & Info links. Also some affordable vacation Time share rental options and even some Tips on " Free " Time Share Vacations and Timeshare Vacation Promotions with some really cheap mini-Vacation Getaway Discounts & Deals.
Time Share Resort Vacations - Exchanging, Rentals & Resales + Tips
My Wife and I purchased a couple of beach front Florida Time Share Vacation Resort weeks almost 30 years ago, and our Family or my Wife and I have used them at the Home Resort or exchanged them to other beach vacation time share resorts fairly consistantly over the years. As a result, we have learned a lot - (sometimes the "expensive" hard way) - about the "process" of purchasing, exchanging, renting, and even trying to do Resales or Rentals of time shares by Owner which we have shared here - so you can benefit from our variety of Timeshare Vacation Exchange, Owner, & Rental experiences -- and mistakes.
We have even done the research to get very close to buying a heavily discounted resale time share by owner week + have some experiences renting other resort time shares and renting out our own Interval International (II) and RCI vacation time share condo weeks.
These are discussed with some Tips on our Florida / Virginia Beach Time Share "Basics" page and our Vacation Time Share Exchanging Info & Tips page.
- Also a new Resale Time Shares by Owner Discounts page and a Free Time Share Vacations - Getaways page

Historic Lighthouses
Gene and his Wife both enjoy historic Lighthouses, and frequently will drive miles out of there way just to tour and take photos of a interesting beach lighthouse -- and to make the long climb to the top for the great view!
Thus you will find quite a few Beach Lighthouse pictures on this Web Site. The St Augustine Lighthouse Photo is one of the most popular Screensaver Picture downloads from this Site. (And also in the High Resolution Version!) You can see some additional Historic Lighthouses on our Oregon, Florida, & Virginia Light Houses page.

USA Vs Foreign Vacation Beaches? - $$ -
-- Not distant travel to remote and expensive beaches on some distant Island. ( - Nothing against any "Foreign" Island vacations, but the money saved by taking affordably priced and fun family beach vacations in the USA can help get your kids through college!)
We have usually traveled to affordable USA Atlantic Ocean beaches destinations with plenty of surf and waves, sand beach and ocean FUN.
-- PLUS a lot of nearby places of interest and attractions to entertain the entire family and people watching travel budgets.
