Have you rented on the Gulf Coast, Florida?


Recommended Posts

Just wondered if anyone had any recommendations for rental properties for a family of 4 (well, 2 adults, a toddler and baby) on the Gulf Coast in Florida. There are so many rental properties that it is hard to know where to start!

Budget around ?1,000 a week and we particularly like the look of Anna Maria island.

Anywhere particularly child-friendly appreciated.

I don't have any rental recommendations, but Anna Maria is fabulous....I used to live in St Petersburg, and we went there a few times. Bay Front park is right on the beach and great for kids.....sheltered picnic tables and a playground. We loved it there!

Thanks so much or that reassurance.

Do you have any experience if Naples in Florida - we are looking for two contrasting places which are still family friendly? Any ideas welcome! Though no Disney!

Don't have any personal knowledge of Naples, it's more built up and commercialised compared to Anna Maria Island. As is Fort Myers to the north. Both places are good for a day trip to Sanibel Island - a shell collecters dream!


But if you're just looking for a beach holiday you cant go wrong with anywhere on the Gulf. I am biased but I love St Pete Beach, again - more commercialised, but have fond memories of living there when my kids were small!

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
