Labor Day signals the unofficial end of summer and thus the time to start planning fall travel if you haven't already.
Travelers looking to stretch their dollar the furthest this upcoming autumn should consider a vacation rental.
After all, TripAdvisor Rentals has done the math and discovered nearly two dozen U.S. cities where travelers can land a two-bedroom property for four, all for less than $60 per person per night. Florida and California feature prominently on the list, boast ing seven of the 20 most budget-friendly destinations between September and November.
Davenport and St. Petersburg are among the two cheapest fall destinations based on TripAdvisor's research. The former is located just outside of Orlando while the latter is situated along Tampa Bay just a short drive from some of the Sunshine State's top beaches.
The median weekly rate for a two-bedroom vacation rental with occupancy for four between September and November in Davenport and St. Petersburg is $23 and $28 per person per night, respectively. Nearby Sarasota and Panama City Beach, Florida aren't too far behind with median nightly rates coming in at $35 and $40 per person for a group of four.
On the West Coast, Palm Desert ($35), South Lake Tahoe ($38) and Anaheim, California ($47) made the cut.
Chincoteague Island, Virginia is the best bargain for the upcoming fall. A two-bedroom rental on the East Coast's home to wild ponies can be had for a median weekly rate of just $596 or $21 per person per night.
