Avon Park Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Avon Park is a community of approximately 20,000 located in Central Florida, near the towns of Sebring and Lake Placid. This small, family town is known as “The City of Charm,” and offers a variety of reasons for visitors to consider it as a central Florida vacation destination. First of all – more than 30 lakes are within the immediate vicinity of Avon Park that offer lots of swimming, boating, fishing, hunting, hiking, picnicking and camping opportunities. There are eleven golf courses in the area, hiking and biking trails, and The Avon Park Air Force Range has approximately 82,000 acres of open space available for public access. The “City of Charm” is also home to the “Mile Long Mall,” which highlights the downtown business district and includes many unique shops and restaurants. A short drive takes you to the lovely towns of Lake Placid, Arcadia and the Gulf Coast. Neighboring Sebring is home to the Sebring International Raceway, known for its week-long races in the spring and fall each year. Avon Park is approximately a two-hour drive to Orlando, Disney World and Epcot Center.

Avon Park Weather & Climate

South Central Florida, in the general area located southeast of Tampa, has a semi-tropical climate. It is warm and humid with almost daily thundershowers in the summertime, and delightfully pleasant winters with much less rain than summer. The rainy season for Florida is May through September, with the most rain in late summer. Thunderstorms usually do not interfere with outdoor plans because they tend to pop up quickly and do not last long. Central Florida, perhaps less exposed to cooling ocean breezes, has a longer period of high-temperature, high-humidity days than southern Florida. Winters are very lovely and mild during the day with cool evenings.
