Your reasoning was spot on!! Lol. One year I decided to take my grandson closer and went to the Mississippi coast. Don't do it. It's worth the extra couple of hours to go past Mobile. I used Kaiser many times. They manage units all over the area of Gulf Shores (Amanda used to call it Gulf Shorts) Perdido, and Orange. You can go on their website and filter by location, bedrooms and prices. I liked hVing a kitchen so we didn't have to eat every meal out. Always got one on the beach, with the pool NOT on the beach side so we could swim in the afternoon and the building totally blocked the afternoon sun. It also had picnic areas on the first floor under the building with BBQ pits which was so nice in the afternoon also blocked from the sun. Also under ther building were swings so you could swing right there and watch the ocean, blocked from the sun. At night we would go sand crabbing on the beach. The kids have a blast, some of the biggest memories. Be sure to bring a flashlight for everyone and nets and buckets bec that's what everyone does at night. You'll see them all up and down the beach. Everyone shares stories and peeks of their crabs in their buckets. We never got sunburned staying at that place.
Now your bringing back memories of my grandma she would bring us every year to the spy glass inn in destin fla. This was the no cook grandma so we ate out but back then you could buy hamburgers and hotdogs on the beach. I've done the condo's too. If you go that route ask the age and when the last remodel was. Some were better than others it also depends on how the owners furnished it. Dishes etc.
