Want to Save Some Money? Start Your Beach Vacation Midweek

Sometimes it’s good to break rules—like the unspoken rule that a vacation must begin and end on a Saturday. Why? Vacation time is vacation time, whatever day it begins.

Gulf Shores Plantation must have asked this same question—and has answered it with their Midweek Condo Special. It’s a pretty simple deal: check in on Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, get a 15% discount on your Gulf Shores Plantation condo (as long as you’ve booked a minimum 3-night stay).

I’m all for saving money, and there have actually been situations in the past where checking in midweek worked better for our family vacation (like the year my daughter’s softball tournament carried over into the weekend we were supposed to leave for vacation). Plus, sometimes it’s just nice to travel on non-traditional travel days—travel traffic is so much better on a Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday!

This deal is good on stays through September 1st—I think we just might have to plan an end-of-summer midweek beach getaway.
