Discover the Perfect (and Affordable) Getaway in the South

There just might be something to waiting until the last minute to plan a getaway, since this summer the deals tend to favor procrastinators.

Wondering where you can go and what deals you might find?

Consider these…

Oaseas Resorts in Panama City Beach, Fla., wants you to remember your SPF 99 when you plan for the beach. No, this isn’t a reference to suntan lotion, but savings. Yes, the SPF in this instance stands for Sale Protection Factor. And when you use it in August and September, you can stay at one of Oaseas Resorts’ six locations for $99/night.
End the summer with a bang by spending it in St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra and The Beaches. Check out all of the savings that include a Recession Rescue Getaway (good through September 30) at St. Francis Inn in St. Augustine.
The boutique hotel NYLO has a special weekend getaways offer starting at $99/night. Using the code WKDSPEC, this is good at NYLO Plano (Texas) at Legacy and NYLO Dallas/Las Colinas.
Book your Labor Day Weekend Escape now at Oceanside Inn & Suites on Jekyll Island, Ga. Good September 3-8, this package includes three nights accommodation, four-hour bike rental and more.
The Wilderness at the Smokies in Sevierville, Tenn., has a Back-To-School-Savings package for August where you can save up to $100 on selected rooms and dates. But you need to book ASAP, because the offer is only good on a select number of rooms.
