Can anyone supply some links to beachfront hotels that are close? There are too many options for someone that does not know the area. I am going to pitch this as a mini-family vacation. It is a 10-11 hour drive for me.
St. Pete Beach is very close to Gulfport. If expense is no object, there's the Don Cesare Resort & Spa - the pink palace. The Siratta is also nice. Do a search for St. Pete Beach hotels and you'll be OK. There is also a nice little beach in Gulfport the family can hang out at while your on the water if they don't want to be out at the Gulf.
