Anyone have a good recommendation for a beach front condo between Gulf Shores and destin that would have some good onsite stuff for kids? I’m thinking stuff like some water slides, lazy river, putt putt etc.

Can't really think of anything on-site, but in Gulf Shores they have that amusement part thing right down from the beach and next door to a few hotels.

Hell when I was down a few weeks ago they had even expanded it to both sides of the road.

As someone mentioned, Phoenix West is about the only one I can think of that has all of that.
I don't recommend that place all that much because it's too big. The elevators get stupid crowded at times and the beach as well.

If you don't have to be right on the beach but can be right across the road, Portofino Resort in Pensacola Beach is good for kids.

Destin West Resort in Ft. Walton was also pretty fun for my kids long ago. They had a beach front side and a bay side with a connecting walkover bridge.

On the bay side was a lazy river and nice pool, etc. Next door was a hotel that had a splash pad and a very nice pool that you used to be able to use if you were staying at Destin West.

We stayed at SeaChase last summer for my daughter’s birthday mainly because she wanted a really good pool and I wanted to be on the beach. There was still a good bit of construction going on but it seemed to be really nice for kids.

Portofino doesn't have a lazy river, but they do have a trampoline park out in the bay. You can also take the boat from their dock to the retail area near the main bridge, where they have go karts, parasailing, etc.

Eden has a very nice pool with waterfalls and backs up to a state park so the views aren't obstructed by other high rises.

Only problem with Caribe is it’s not beach front and getting to the beach with their cart drop off and the walk is kind of a pain in the arse.

I'll take the Beach Club in Ft Morgan all day. Being 13 miles off 182 is a bonus for me and gets me away from the main hustle and bustle but still close enough when we want water slides, go-karts, etc.

Three golf courses within ten minute drive.

On site dining and bar. Sports activities. Beach well kept. Plenty of pools.
