Try Delray beach! I used to live there and it has something for everyone on your list. I love it there. Really great food, beaches, family friendly but close to Miami/ft lauderdale </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/florida-vacation-recommendations#post-864227 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 21:16:42 +0000 heffalump 864227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just got back from cocoa beach, we stayed in Orlando for a night and went there for the day. Love it there :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/florida-vacation-recommendations#post-864179 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:55:25 +0000 kentuckygirl 864179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been to Cocoa Beach several times. It's not a party town and condo rentals are very reasonable. Easy drive to Orlando! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/florida-vacation-recommendations#post-862699 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:56:48 +0000 T.H.O.U. 862699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By the way, Universal has a great night life scene. If you stay close that would be a great option. Downtown Disney is great too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/florida-vacation-recommendations#post-862697 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:55:48 +0000 T.H.O.U. 862697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family have rented house at Reunion Resort which is REALLY nice.

We had my ILs, BIL and his family (2 young girls) and us (pre baby). Everyone really enjoyed it. There was a supermarket nearby for grocery shopping and some small shops/restaurants. 20 minutes away was the town of st augustine for bigger restaurants and shops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/florida-vacation-recommendations#post-862554 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:11:02 +0000 DillonLion 862554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I'd prefer it to be not party at all...my BIL and his GF can drive somewhere wild if they want to :)</p> <p>ETA: Thanks! I will check out the places you suggested :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/florida-vacation-recommendations#post-862538 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:03:23 +0000 regberadaisy 862538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rent a house!</p> <p>What about Cocoa Beach? I think it's near Kenndey space center. Driving distance to DW. But I don't know if it's too "party".</p> <p>My ILs rented a beach house at Crescent Beach 2 years back and it's just WONDERFUL. White sandy beaches, near a aquarium and driving distance to DW. If we go back to FL we want to go there again. It's about 20 minutes to St Augustine which is a cute old town. It's def family friendly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/florida-vacation-recommendations#post-862531 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 09:59:33 +0000 DillonLion 862531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are planning a family vacation to Florida for spring break next year. </p> <p>It will be 7 people total (two people in their 50s, two people in their late 20s, two people in their early 20s, and my LO who will be 15 months) Everyone is high energy. </p> <p>We decided on Florida because we want something affordable and tropical without going international. </p> <p>DH and I would love to do Universal Studios if possible, my BIL and his GF are young and are interested in a party atmosphere, and my in-laws are looking for a beach-ey relaxing type of vacation with some fun activities thrown in, but are open to doing anything whatsoever. </p> <p>Should we stay at a resort? Rent a house? Stay near Disney? Stay far away and drive to Disney? Avoid Disney entirely?</p> <p>We definitely want lots of beach time (but not sure if we should stay on East coast or West coast of FL)</p> <p>We also want to stay somewhere that isn't a mecca of college students partying on spring break. </p> <p>Help! </p>
