re: Quick Beach Get Away to the Gulf Coast

Yeah like the other poster said, you aren't going to find many special deals in early August. You can work the VRBO.com site to see if you can save a little, but I doubt it will be worth your time.

Prices will be all over the place depending on what type of property and what area. When we started going on our family beach trips back in 08-09 things were much cheaper and there were good deals. These days, not so much.

With that short of a stay, I would just go to Orange Beach. The Phoenix properties are the cheaper option, but I never had a problem with any of them when we used to stay in that area.

For hotels there is a Hampton Inn there that was pretty nice as well as a Hilton Garden Inn.

If you want to spend a little more, there is a placed called the Perdido Beach Resort that I always thought would be nice for a couples trip.

If you want to be away from things a little more, look at the Beach Club in Fort Morgan.
