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!

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
