Need help too many choices seaside, gulf place seagrove

After my experience at Gulfplace during the Jazz Fest, I don't ever intend to visit there again. The "natives" there were not very friendly.

I am sorry this happened and many times large events do not bring out the best in some. I would not let a special event occurance, especially if it involved only one person, prevent me from giving Gulf Place another try.

My daughter just spent 4 months living there and she loved it and I loved visiting her. The merchants were wonderful to her and me. Everyone made her feel very welcome and I would definitely rebook a stay there.

Plus living within walking distance to Amore' Pizza is about as good as it gets

Probably talking about Bob Hudson's complaint on noise violation at the Seabreeze Jazz Fest in Gulf Place.

You are correct!

I am not a tourist and have been in the area for 4 years. I was amazed at the antics put on by the homeowner association president and representatives of Gulf Place during the Jazz Festival. Bob Hudson is a completely different issue but just proof that politicians will break out the grease for the squeeky wheel.

We have a 5 and 9 year old who love to swim , beach and ride bikes.

Looking for a quiet family oriented are where they can do just that.
for 4 guest.

Would like to be close enough to Seaside. I think.

Beach front or gulf view prefer with a price tag of < $250 nite but something newly renovated and very... clean...
We are used to Hilton Head houses community but I was wanting to do something different this time. We usually go with family and split the cost, not this year though. We haven't stayed in a condo or hotel in quiet a few years, so it will need to be a nice room to suite me.

Looked at Gulf Place condos they look nice, but it is 5 or so miles to Seaside, but I'm not sure if we would be happy only making the trek there once or twice??

Is Gulfside a nice area? or even Grayton?

Also does anyone have any opinions on Beacons condos and Cassine Garden, I think are in Seagrove? Does Beacons have a pool?

I don't really know anything about hte area we've been to PCB several times but never to So Walton Beaches.

Any info or opinions would be lots of help there are endless rentals it seems to be had in these areas, however I'm not sure of any in..Seaside with that price.

Thanks for all your help Sorry so many questions I'm just confused at this point.

Rosemary Beach will fit your needs. I think you can find something for your budget too.

It is a shame! I live right down the street from Gulf Place and I enjoyed seeing the people come and go. I could even hear the music while in my house and I loved it. We even had people parking all the way up the street next to our house on 30A. I didnt mind though because the quality of people that visited the jazz event were classy people and very friendly. But of course you can't allways make everyone happy. There is allways on rotten egg that spoils it for everyone. Please don't stop comming to Gulf Place though it is a beautiful,peaceful place full of tallented artist. So from me I say

Hey, dear...take it from someone who has traveled to this area for so long. You really can't go wrong, jump in and scope things out while you are there. One recommendation I would make though is that the beaches are much more accessible for children and those trying to keep up with children at Grayton. Beach access is easy with a boardwalk and level beach access. There is a beautiful tide pool perfect for wading or splashing kids. You will find the majority of areas have steps down and back up to the beach and it can get tiring hauling all the baby beach accessories up and down. I also love Grayton because it's limited access means kids can ride thier bikes and explore when the kids and you are comfortable. Best of all is the Hibiscus B & B for a fantastic breakfast while the kids play hopscotch. I have stayed everywhere along this stretch of beach and have settled into Grayton. Just, ssh...please keep it a secret. We rent from Rivard there but I don't think you can go wrong.
