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!

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
