We are trying to book a last minute fam vaca for early March!

We've decided against a cruise, Caribbean, and DW. Miami is out because DH and I went last year and we don't want to go back yet!

We're going to keep it simple and do a 2-3 hour nonstop flight to a Florida beach resort.

I've been researching Ft Myers/Sanibel Area, St Pete Beach, and Fort Lauderdale... All the flight times and resorts seem to be around the same price point; with the exception that the beach resorts in Fort Lauderdale seem to be better quality. But we've only been there for a pitstop before cruising!

Any favorite Florida beach recs for a fam vacation with a 3 yo and 8 month old?
