I would like to surprise my parents (in their 70's) with a 3 night stay in South Walton. What I would like is the Watercolor Inn without the watercolor price tag!
I am looking for 3 nights in June, no particular date. I do want gulf front so that they can be on the beach. I would also need a pool. As this is a special gift, I want this to be a peaceful stay meaning not 1000 kids. I realize June is the summer so I am sure Watercolor will be wall to wall kids at the pool. Did I hear one pool has been made adults only?
I looked into the gulf front one bedroom units at Seaside, but with a special I got at Watercolor, Watercolor is a better deal. I just hate the way Watercolor nickel and dimes you to death. There is a $25 a day resort fee that you must pay; if you must pay, why not include it in the room rate? I have heard people say the bikes that are included in that $25 are usually not available, of course I don't think my parents will be bike riding. As a matter of fact, the only thing they will use from the resort fees are the towels. You have to pay for beach chairs, they are not included.
Any idea for other places to stay? Are there any gulf front condos that would rent for 3 nights in the summer? I would prefer closer to Seaside, but I am willing to look at other areas. They have never been to South Walton so I want this to be special. They usually go to Hilton Head, but haven't been in years.
