Chris, I highly recommend the area. As was stated, there are very few hotels around. We always rent a house on the beach on St. George Island. Not recommended for the tight budget. However, it is a very beautiful area. There is a state park nearby (Cape San Blas). I have not been there, but have heard it is nice. One recommendation though is to make sure you have everything you need before getting there. This is due to the fact that the closest Walmart, Kmart, anything-mart is about 70 miles away. Just a little insider information there. Anyway, it is a very nice area for adults and children. My two year old loved it last year. Good luck. Dave
