i dont wanna wake up cook breakfast, go to the beach, go back to the condo eat lunch and nap, then go back then go cook, then go take them out to hunt crabs every single day and night for 5 days straight. On top of that cleaning dishes, cleaning the condo, washing and folding clothes......doesnt sound like a vacation to me

I draw the line at having to lug a bunch of heavy shite out each day. Why the gulf coast doesn't have more full service resorts with pool/beach service is beyond me. We've paid to do a panhandle vacation exactly 1 time in the 12+ years we've been together.

I couldn't tell you the price of condos these days, but I know last time we priced it out it was the same price as the trip we had recently done where we flew to Chicago and ate in restaurants the entire time.

Admittedly, a beach condo is probably more "per head" when you're just 2 people versus splitting it up with a big family. I definitely could see it being economical if you have a big group and you're cooking.
