Think you know Florida? This month, we spoke to some of our Members who have traveled to the Sunshine State using Destination Xchange to learn more about their favorite places in the region, beyond the allure of the theme parks and beaches.
Destination Xchange gives Members of Extraordinary Escapes and The Club an expansive selection of property options for destinations worldwide. Members can exchange their vacation ownership in real time to access properties across the globe or deposit points for future travel.
Many Members are drawn to DEX because of the flexibility it provides. There are more opportunities to travel when and where you want, and in the accommodation size that works for you.
“With Destination Xchange, being flexible with where and when you travel opens the door to the best opportunities,” recommend Albert and Judith K., Members since 2016.

Central Atlantic Coast
Florida’s central Atlantic coastline is home to numerous attractions — from the galactic wonders of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center to the diverse ecosystems of the surrounding wetlands.
For Robin F., a Member since 2009, one of the perks of Destination Xchange is the ability to visit places that may not have been on his list: “Our favorite Destination Xchange properties are on Florida’s East Coast, in Daytona Beach and Cocoa Beach. On one trip, we were staying near the SpaceX facilities, and we were able to see four rocket launches, which was a special memory.”
The ability to combine breathtaking nature with the magnificence of space travel in Florida was also a highlight for Jerry and Claire M., Members since 2006.
“Our favorite Destination Xchange property is Holiday Inn Club Vacations Cape Canaveral Beach Resort in Central Florida. The accommodation was great, but the best part was its proximity to excursions. Two stand-out excursions for us were a bird-watching trip on Merritt Island and seeing rockets lift off.”
Visiting Florida in the winter months can also ensure a captivating stay for travelers, as discovered by Kate and Christian O., Members since 2012.
“The Beach Club at St. Augustine in Florida was a wonderful destination. We were fortunate to visit over the Christmas holidays. St. Augustine knows how to do the holidays right with their Nights of Lights events.”

Central Gulf Coast
Over on the Central Gulf Coast of Florida, Members can relax on the idyllic white sand beaches in Clearwater, explore the vibrant arts scene and cultural gems like the Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg or take a tour of one of Dunedin’s many craft breweries.
Albert and Judith K., Members since 2016, recently headed to Dunedin on Florida’s Gulf Coast with Destination Xchange: “We stayed at the Beso Del Sol Resort in Dunedin. We found the property well maintained, and the pool and hot tub were welcoming. The staff and management were helpful.”

Tropical scenery and fun for everyone are all part of the charm at Mystic Dunes, a Hilton Vacation Club
Orlando
Of course, thanks to its selection of world-class theme parks, Orlando rightly has a reputation as a family-favorite location.
Situated just 10 minutes from Walt Disney World® Resort, Mystic Dunes, a Hilton Vacation Club in Celebration has everything you need for a memorable getaway, whatever your age. Adults can play a round of golf at the resort or relax by the pool with a good book as the kids dive into a roster of fun activities, all with the backdrop of Orlando’s warm and welcoming weather and tropical scenery. Note: Members can use Tier Credits to access Mystic Dunes and other select managed resorts.
