The kids would enjoy the water park and other activities in the area and I want to be within walking distance or a short drive to all of that stuff and good restaurants, etc.

My parents had a place at Pelican Beach resort for about 15 years. There are two buildings there. The Pelican, down on the beach, and the Terrace, closer to the road. The Terrace has a nicer pool. It is smaller than the Pelican pool, but the Pelican pool is in the shade a good part of the day and the one at the Terrace is in sunlight all day long.

You can walk across the street to the water park. You're not far from the Harborwalk, AJ's, McGuire's, and several other places to eat. There's a Mellow Mushroom you can walk to from there if you want to grab some beers and a pizza. And there's the amusement park, The Track, a few minutes away.

The interior units at the Terrace are all 3 bedrooms. I think the ones on the ends are 2BR with an option of a lockout for a 3rd. So you could just rent the 2BR piece of that.

There is also a little golf cart shuttle that will run you from there down to the beach, but it is about a 5 minute walk with kids and beach stuff. They rent chairs by the day/week but you can just bring your own as well.

There's also a seafood market you can walk to and grab stuff to grill. There's a couple of large gas grills you can use on a lower deck by the pool.
