Wish you were here? This could be your lucky day.

We’re going to whisk one lucky family away for a fabulous vacation to Charlotte Harbor & the Gulf Islands, Florida’s premier year-round eco-tourism destination and a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Charlotte Harbor & the Gulf Islands has been named to Sail magazine’s “10 Greatest Places to Sail in the United States,” and rated by Money magazine as one of the “Best Places to Live in the South.” Located halfway between Tampa and Naples on the Southwest Florida Gulf coast, the area is an off-the-beaten-path destination, encompassing nine charming coastal communities from Englewood to Port Charlotte to Placida to Punta Gorda.

The prize consists four nights at Palm Island Resort in a two-bedroom Gulf-view villa for a family of four, one free golf cart rental, kids’ programming, and bicycle rentals. The winner will also receive airfare to Florida for two adults and two kids on AirTran Airways, which offers coast-to-coast service in North America and is the only major airline with Gogo Inflight Internet on every flight. Ranked the No. 1 low-cost carrier in the Airline Quality Rating study for the past three years, AirTran Airways is the proud owner of North America’s newest all-Boeing fleet and offers complimentary SiriusXM Satellite Radio on every flight.

Talk about getting away from it all. Accessible by boat or car ferry, Palm Island Resort is set on an isle where the main means of transportation are golf carts, bicycles and walking. This retreat offers a private, two-mile pristine beach with spectacular shelling and peaceful relaxation. You’ll stay in one of 160 upscale, privately owned, fully equipped tropical villas. Boogie boards, rafts, snorkel sets, canoes, kayaks, fishing equipment, bicycles, golf carts and umbrellas are available to rent. Children’s programs include nature hunts, self-guided bicycle nature tours, scavenger hunts, sand castle-building contests, arts and crafts, shell hunts and more. Captain Red Beard, the resort’s resident pirate, provides many of the children’s activities and crafts, and entertains guests young and old with buccaneer tunes and tales of yore.
