Cutting Corners: Staycation Deals In South Florida
MIAMI (CBS4) ―
South Floridians looking for a deal this summer as they think about taking a vacation, need to look no further than their own backyard.
This summer world renowned Doral Golf Resort & Spa is offering $99 a night flat room rates for Florida residents. That means a family of four can stay in a gorgeous garden view room and play at the elaborate blue lagoon pool & waterslide as well as enjoy the rest of the facilities at Doral for under a hundred bucks.
Another great option at Doral is the $99 per person unlimited golf, room, and breakfast deal. For the price of what it usually costs just to play one round on one of Doral's legendary courses, guests will receive unlimited golf, overnight accommodations and a delicious buffet breakfast.

Another great way to vacation in your own backyard on the cheap is by literally setting up a tent right behind your house. In fact this Saturday marks the Great American Backyard Campout. People around the country are encouraged to get out of the house and experience how much fun it is to spend a night sleeping under the stars and enjoying the sounds of nature. To pitch in, Walmart is selling mini-tents for around $25.
