Hi! We were thinking of trying Destin for Spring Break. I'm hoping to get some tips on family friendly rentals. There appear to be many neighborhoods and beaches in the area and frankly, without some personal recommendations I'm not sure I can wade through it all and make a good choice. We would like to be on the beach while keeping the price as reasonable as possible. I'd greatly appreciate any tips! Thank you! 4951

Funny! So Destin is popular with the younger, wilder crowd? Boy, that would have ruined a nice family trip. That piece of information is invaluable. Shows you how much I know about the area. Will look at Rosemary and Orange. Thank you very much! 4951

Those AL beaches get overlooked because they are not in Florida I think.  They have some beautiful beaches there.  I like them, more low key. 4951

I appreciate the tips very much. There are just certain things you really don't find out in internet searches. I just looked up Orange Beach and based on their location I would imagine the beaches would be just as nice as the Destin area claims to be. Lots of VRBO type sites are pulling up. Any further tips on specific places to stay? 4951

Hi! We were thinking of trying Destin for Spring Break.
@newcomer5: Just got back from Destin.  I would highly recommend looking at the 30A area which is further East from Destin towards Panama City.  It's a little less crowded.  4951

@Txbutterfly: Really the whole Redneck Riviera is white sandy beaches so OB/GS doesn't trump Florida there.  The only reason I prefer Destin/30A over OB/GS is the offshore fishing is generally better, but that is me. 
 
The upside to Orange Beach is the FloraBama is there plus more Bama fans to chat with.....RTR! 4951

@TexasTideFan: I enjoyed the FloraBama so much that I was actually willing to overlook that particular downside.

Destin is "trying" to be the family option of the FL coast. They advertise that they will test drink on the beach if you're under age and spring breakers prefer to go to the more accommodating ones. However, I think it is impossible to get them all away. I would definitely recommend visiting Destin but no during Spring Break.  4951

@newcomer5, I searched dental on the forum, and saw that you had asked about Carus Dental.  Did you ever go?  How was your experience?  Sorry for threadjacking!  I can start a new message if you like. 4951
