Florida Tax Free Holiday, Aug. 2-6, is the Perfect Time to Take a Destin Vacation

August is the perfect time for families to fit in a beach vacation before kids go back to school and everyone gets busy with fall events and football. Crowds will be dissipating and the deals and savings on Destin vacation rentals will be on the rise. 

One of the best parts about coming in August is Florida’s Tax Free Holiday. Statistics show that on average parents spend $687.72 per child on back-to-school clothes and supplies. So save money when you shop tax free on back to school clothes and supplies while enjoying a beach vacation.

This year (2019), Florida’s tax free holiday will be in effect from August 2^nd to midnight on August 6^th. During this holiday, items that are tax exempt include: 

- Clothing, shoes, wallets, or bags, including handbags and backpacks (but not briefcases or suitcases) that are $60 or less

- School supplies sold for $15 or less, including pens, pencils, erasers, crayons, notebooks, paper, tape, scissors and calculators

- Personal computers or personal computer-related accessories sold for $1,000 or less, including electronic book readers, laptops, desktops, handhelds, tablets, or tower computers (but excluding cellphones)

Stretch your dollars even father by visiting Silver Sands Premium Outlets in Miramar Beach where families can enjoy BIG savings on designer brands. Or head to Grand Boulevard at Sandestin or Destin Commons for more popular brands and stores catering to each member of the family. From teens to tweens to kids, there something for everyone.
