Fl Gulf Coast recommendation please

oxters

Hi

I am seeking a reasonably priced condo or apt for a 3 or 4 week stay on the G o Mexico coast line. Would like to go Jan / Feb / or March..
I have had good recommendations for holidays here in the past and any advice appreciated. Also which airline is best price wise from Glasgow or Edinburgh to Orlando / Sandford if known.

Thanks

I'd highly recommend St Pete Beach/Clearwater which is a fantastic beach community close to Tampa/St Petersburg.

Here are a couple of accomodations I'd also recommend and also check out VRBO for condo rental.

Flight-wise you might want to check out Monarch from Glasgow into Sandford.They tend to have good deals if out of school holiday time.

We live in Scotland so best for us to go from Edinburgh/Glasgow.
We don't mind the drive down/over from Sandford/Orlando Intl

You could do Glasgow to Tampa via London with BA - you will also get better luggage allowance (23kg hold plus hand luggage).

We stayed in St Pete's beach at the Tradewinds Island Grand. It had a small kitchen, but isn't very cheap so probably not what you would want for a 3 or 4 week stay. We also stayed a few nights in St Pete's Downtown (at the Renaissance Vinoy), it was also very nice if you might consider splitting your stay into 2 places. The downtown area was definitely worth doing a couple of nights. We also went to Melbourne, Ft Lauderdale and Naples on that trip, we did a fair bit of driving around and it was a great trip.

We visited Clearwater one afternoon and it was really nice too.

Enjoy. :j
