UK holiday-makers looking for US Disney delights alongside a beach-bound adventure without the high accommodation costs, can relax in style at laid-back New Smyrna Beach, just over an hour's drive north from Orlando. Home to a 13-mile stretch of white sandy beaches overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, New Smyrna Beach offers families a great range of places to stay including The Moontide Condominium, a self-catering condo-hotel.  

Described as a “home away from home”, families can sprawl out in spacious apartments after an adventure-packed day at nearby attractions. Moontide has launched a "5th Night Free" promotion, just in time for Christmas breaks to Florida. Guests can stay four nights at The Moontide Condominium from now through the New Year and the 5th night's accommodation is free.

The offer is available by calling the hotel's reservations office or by emailing moontide@cfl.rr.com. Rates start at $625 for six nights in a one-bedroom beachfront condo, or $800 for six nights in a two-bedroom beachfront condo in December.   The Walt Disney World Resort, which can be reached from Moontide in just over an hour's drive, is one of the main attractions that makes New Smyrna Beach an ideal base for exploring the area and staying in affordable luxury. While many hotels on the doorstep of Walt Disney World are known for their high prices, Moontide remains a comfortable distance away, yet offers rates that appeal to all family budgets during the half term breaks and Christmas holidays.  

There are 68 apartments to choose from with one, two and three-bed beachfront options. Guests can also enjoy the onsite tennis court, games room, fitness room, a fifth storey swimming pool and sunning deck. A pristine beach at the back of the property is a welcome retreat for further relaxation and seafaring adventures. Every apartment boasts its own balcony and kitchen, so families can feast on fresh Floridian cuisine in the privacy of their own dining space. Moontide's superior location, located on New Smyrna's "no drive" section of the beach is revered.  

A Florida family holiday does not always have to focus on Disney and beaches, though the Sunshine State certainly knows how to serve up these delights to perfection. New Smyrna Beach is Florida's second oldest city and has a wealth of historical sites including sugar mill ruins in the area. History buffs will also be in their element at the city's Historical Museum and the Black Heritage Museum. Just as the UK sunshine fades to make way for chilly autumn and winter days, there is plenty of tropical warmth to soak up in New Smyrna Beach, Florida with excellent rates to enjoy at Moontide during October half term and Christmas.
