The whole Florida panhandle is just played out to me. There’s so much more world out there for comparable $


I hate saying this and sounding like an ahole, but 100% agree. Costs more to spend a week in the fricking FL panhandle with the same people you see at the local grocery store every day than it does to spend a week in say Costa Rica for example.

Nothing wrong with the area by any means though, it's beautiful for sure.

30A priced me out a couple years ago. When I can do a week on almost any island in the Caribbean for cheaper than the panhandle, I’m getting on that plane every time.

Guess that depends on how much your spending while on vacation. We don't go out to eat a lot on our beach trips, so for us a week in the panhandle is relatively inexpensive (less than $3k for 4-5 days for 4 people). For the most part, we treat a beach trip similar to being home, just a different location. Still cook most meals in the condo, eat out 1-2 times, a quick excursion depending on weather...

Also can't beat the 3-4 hour drive to get to the location. As my kids get older, I am sure it'll cost more, and we will also start weighing more options to expand to other areas.
