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!

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
