Oh, and Destin is trashy.

There it is.

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.

We stay at Jetty East every year family friendly. We love it there

Oh, and the Winn Dixie and liquor store are close as well for groceries. There's a Target that isn't that old across the street too. I know it had only been there a couple of years before my parents sold their place 4 years ago. Back Porch is a short drive. Damn, I'm missing having access to a condo just remembering all of this.

How much are you looking to spend? A good friend of mine is a real estate agent there and that's what she sells. Those and the high end condos.

If you ain't 30A, then you ain't bout this life, baw.

We stay at Jetty East every year. Look at places on GulfShore Dr. It is located in the middle of the city, and the place are on the beach. We like JE, because you can walk to the Jetties and on the back side of the jetties is a nice place to snorkel.

Go eat at Boshamps

Check out The Silver Dunes

It's next door to Sundestin, and nothing on the other side (yet). They tore the old Holiday Inn down a few years back and have yet to start rebuilding. Or as of this past summer they haven't. They have the best beach setup guy in Destin.
