With as big as Orange Beach has gotten and Destin right down the road, do people go to Gulf Shores anymore? Used to be our family vacation spot when I was a kid every summer 30 years ago.

I don’t get the allure of going to a beach with no people and just sitting out there all day… pretty boring if you ask me
I want people watching, kids for mine to play with, girls for my teenager to flirt with, a bar and grill by the pool, restaurants to go to,etc

This part is crazy. My neighbor does this, rents a big one and invites family to split it. I still don't get the fun part. You're in a high rise apartment that happens to have a water view. IF you want to go swimming, you ride an elevator down 20 floors to the beach and cram yourself onto the sand with a buttload of other people. Sounds awful.
Meh, better than most lots in life.
That said, I do not get why people pay these sums to go to mediocre places like the Florida panhandle. For $10k, you can take a family of 5 all over the Americas and rent badass homes, flights included
I did a week in Panama, 5 days sailing, 2 days in Panama City eating at high end restaurants, for less than most people spend on a week in a condo in the panhandle of Florida.

I was just thinking this weekend about the number of vacations people seem to go on each year. Seems like people go on 3 or 4 vacations a year instead of just the one.
Winter Break, Spring Break, Memorial Day, Late Summer vacation, etc.

You must be renting in the wrong place.

Will be interesting to see what happens after the next cat 4 plows through there, especially given what insurance costs now vs back in '04 when Ivan tore it up.
Hideous what they've done to that area. Greedy. Why not just save a little bit of natural habitat? Better for long-term erosion control and storm surge protection anyway.
