Easter on the Florida Gulf Coast
I got my hands on some cheap tickets for Tampa :jumper:, two weeks from 03-30 till 04-14. The plan is to stay together with another family (total of 9) for one week anywhere on the Gulf coast and after that spend a week with my family alone (5) in a different location, perhaps the Keys or Naples.
Looking for recommendations for specific areas and housing possibilities. We've been to Ft-Myers twice in the early nineties, we liked it a lot back then but not so sure if it's still as sweet. Preferably a location close to the water (with pier) and away from the crowds. Tx on forehand.

Ft Myers has been ruined, try Pensacola or Key Largo.

You might like the Madeira Beach-Treasure Island area. Just a few minutes from Tampa Airport. Lots of fishing, boating, and parasailing, etc. John's Pass is nice for restaurants, shopping. Nice, relatively uncrowded beaches. We go there for the weekend occasionally.

Siesta Key is supposed to be nice, our neighbors go there every year. I'm more of a "St Augustine" kind of guy...

Closing-in on a deal for a beach house on Anna-Maria Island for the first week and for a house in Hawks Cay in the Keys. Tx for the advice so far.
