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!

    • Can anyone recommend a reputable damp specialist in the area please.  Reluctant to pick a random off the web and would really like a bonafide recommendation as know this work can be costly.  thank you
    • But you don't think the same protection should be afforded to those on the anti-LTN side...? Given the witch hunt some are be conducting to unearth which local residents are involved (see numerous examples on this forum), given the vandalism of the anti-LTN signs and interference with cars, labelling of anyone who opposes as some sort of petrol-head facist and given even Anna Goodman's tearing down of an anti-LTN poster you still think you only want anonimyity for those on one side of the argument? Does that not seem slightly hypocritical...it's why your first post on this issue entertained so many of us - it seemed ever so one-sided and summed up the challenges anyone who opposes the measures has to fight?
    • Hello again, Rubie, my cat, is still missing. He has been gone since 18th April.  Rubie is black and white, with black ears, a splendid white moustache, white front paws, and mostly white back legs.  Please check your sheds etc as he may be trapped, he’s a curious little thing.  I would really appreciate any help and suggestions. Thank you.
    • There is no equivalence between One Dulwich purporting to be a local organisation speaking for local people, and actually properly constituted organisations such as The Dulwich Society. A 3 -second google search reveals the openly published names of the trustees of Dulwich Society, so I can make my own mind up as to whether these individuals are coming at local issues with a particular slant. I can read minutes of their meetings online, and whilst I might not agree with their every position, I can have confidence that they are an open and fundamentally democratic institution. There is absolutely nothing similar in terms of publicly accountable information to be found about One Dulwich - no idea of who is behind it, who pays for it ( it is clearly expensive), and on what basis they make their decisions.  Given the Police involvement in the intimidation of people with a public pro-LTN view ( for which there is no equivalence in terms of severity of any incident for those with an anti-LTN point of view), I can fully understand why, for Dulwich Society's traffic sub- committee only, they want a bit of online anonymity. I also find it slightly disturbing that when The Dulwich Society current leadership asked the 'grouping' pushing for changes within it for a meeting to discuss their concerns, they refused it. Given the recent experiences of organisations such as The National Trust, the question can be asked - is something similar going on here?
