re: Gulf Coast Beach Condo rental rates

We have stayed away from the Gulf Coast due to the high prices and going to the Caribbean for the last few years because of the price. We use airline miles for the flights and have been staying at all-inclusive. By the time you factor in gas, meals, etc. traveling, the flights aren't much more even if you had to pay for them.

Now that we are playing baseball, we are paying $3,800 just on a rental for the week in June in Gulf Shores. We are paying $1800 to go to the Bahamas in July for 8 days lol
Of the $3800, $1,000 of it is taxes and fees.

We have been to St. Lucia, Aruba, and DR all-inclusive for a family of four cheaper than what we pay for a condo on the Gulf Coast.
