for a week? craft beer is like $16 for a 4pack and couple bottle of wines for the wife/dinner

How many 4 packs are you drinking if you're not a big drinker? How fancy is the wine you're buying?

I'm not saying you have to spend $5k, just that it isn't unreasonable, even with your "cheap" accommodations, especially if you don't like to cook on vacation, which is true for a lot of people

$5k for a gulf coast beach vacay is splurging no matter which way you try to slice it. Yes you absolutely can spend $5k or more on a gulf coast beach trip, but you can easily do it for significantly less while still being beachfront.
