Which Beach?

absolutely worth finding out about villas for a couple of nights or more - we saw some wonderful ones in the Sarasota area.

Staying in a villa is definately the way to go. With so much more room to spread out, you won't want to stay in anything else[msnsmile2]

Before i was a villa owner, we did a trip from Orlando down to the gulf coast for 2 nights. I didn't know about villas on the coast.

The surroundings were beautiful, but the whole family in one room was a recipe for disaster.

I will go to the coast again , but I will not forgo the luxury and freedom a villa gives. Why not fill out an enquiry through one of the villa links above and just see what there is to offer.

The only problem you will have is which one to choose!

Hi Kevin
for us the beach at siesta key at sarasota is the best, white quartz sand and some lovely resterants (not chain) ones.our favorite is called Sugar and Spice its an armish resterant. and the pies are home baked and are to die for.
when we go we stay for 1 or 2 nights as it takes about 2 hours from hyw27 four corners area

I'm partial to the beaches on Boca Grande. Stay in a Villa in Rotonda, drive 15 minutes to Boca Grande to see the sunset over the golf then have dinner at South Beach Grill right on the water. Heaven!

We love treasure island BUT AT THE MOMENT they are making a new brige at ST JOHNS PASS doing away with the one that opens when the large ships go through so there is a lot of work going on in that area and it is going to take until YEAR 2011 AS WILL BE A DUAL CARRAGEWAY ,it does not effect the beach near MADERIA or the other way toward ST PETES so you can still walk onto the beachs, TREASURE ISLAND is going up market .

We tried the Atlantic this year and visited the State Park at Apollo Beach. I can't recommend it as a swimming beach, there is a very strong riptide and plenty of marine life in the surf. In addition, the sand is not sand, but tiny ground up shells. They stick everywhere, whatever you do, don't sit down at the waters edge![:O] However, it was very beautiful and there is a great visitors centre that was really interesting. We saw pelicans and eagles flying up and down the beach, not 5 feet over our heads and the dunes are quite different to anything on the Gulf coast. There are plenty of trails for walking but no conveniences whatsoever. Bring a picnic and a thermos! There were loads of people fishing off the beach. I understand they do very well because the beach slopes very steeply and then suddenly drops away. So when the tide is out, you can get quite large fish from the shore. The shoreline stretches over 6.5 miles and at the southern end they close the beaches when a shuttle launch is imminent. It makes a nice day trip and is only 90 minutes from Kissimmee.
