I know of the Marriott one in Fairhope and one in 30a but are their any other resorts along the coast that I’m missing? Thank you

What are you referencing here?

You're probably better off renting a big house.

We’re staying at the Portofino for the first time this weekend. I can report back after but it looks like a pretty good spot from the website.

Holiday inn in fort Walton and Panama City. Think Hilton has one somewhere too.

Hyatt has one in Clearwater

Perdido Beach Resort has good views of the gulf and Perdido pass. Nice to sit on the balcony and watch the boats come and go.

Portofino is nice. It enjoys uncontested beach access since there are no high rises anywhere near it. The combination of the beach and the access to the bay is great. If you are going with kids, they have a great program in the bay with an obstacle course and it is right next to the pool, grill, and water sports rentals. You can even get pizza delivered to your condo from the resort restaurant.

Watercolor inn resort I believe. It’s only for two people.

That looks perfect. Unfortunately they don’t have any rooms for the dates I need.

Thanks for the info, that's what we were hoping for. Have you ever been this time of year? I'm hoping the water is still warm enough for the kids.

Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa.
It’s at Miramar Beach.

We spent one night there 15 to 20 years ago. Have no idea what it’s like now.

Hilton is great. Not crowded at all this time of year. Get a beachfront room for the best views. Free shuttle to Baytowne. Tennis and/or golf if that’s your thing. And real nice shopping center with an Emerills, Flemings, and several other good restaurants.

I haven't been this time of year but looking online at water temps it seems like you should be okay.

Gulf Breeze/Pensacola (not including the actual city) lacks the restaurant selection that other gulf beach towns do, but take them down to the pier with the shops and hang out on the beach at Flounders while everyone plays volleyball. The food at those places (also including red fish blue fish) are atrocious though. The only fried seafood restaurant I really recommend is Peg Leg Pete's but be prepared for them to have a wait. Also, check out Laguna's. Food and rides/games for kids.

We drag our kids to good restaurants. George’s in Pensacola is fantastic. They have some other pretty good places but you have to go into town.

We really enjoyed it. Weather and water were perfect. We have kids, so the pool set up really helped us. In fact we ate lunch and dinner at the pool some days. The pool food was surprisingly good. We also ate at George's one night which was fantastic as always. Also enjoyed Odd Colony brewery before dinner at Georges. You have to make a resv for Georges. Also, the resort doesn't have towel service, so bring towels.
