Hi, @James972. The Airbnb home page can be a a bit overwhelming, so I understand your wish just to have someone suggest something. It's just that "affordable" is different for everyone and we don't know your exact dates or how far you are willing to drive or whether the thing we suggest will be available when you want to book. It can be fun to look, though, so when you sign in to Airbnb, in the top box that says "Anywhere" or "Try XXX", type the place you want to go. Even just "Florida" if you want options for the whole state. Select your exact dates (if you want - or just leave it blank) and numbers of guests (4) and then hit "Homes". Scroll through until you find exactly what you need. You can do the same with Experiences. Pick History or Art Classes or Animal Encounters - whatever the kids like. Back to homes, though, because you will want accommodations: You can just go with the Family Collection of homes if you want, but that isn't perfect yet. There are lovely family homes who are not part of the collection, since dividing homes into collections is new. If you want to look at the map, along the top of the screen click "Show Map". (I'm working from a laptop - it will look a bit different on your phone, if that's what you are using.) With each listing, look to see whether the host accepts children, and read the description and house rules. Read the reviews.
Here's the thing, though. You won't be able to stay anywhere if you don't get a few more verifications done. All you have right now is your email address. Upload those. Write a little bit about yourself and your family. It is a trust platform, and hosts like to know who is staying with them.
All the best! Have a fun summer vacation!
