Default 2017 FL trip

We usually ride to the Daytona area every July , but due to mama
getting a new job we probably won't get to . Thinking of going to the
PC Beach area but know very little about it . We can ride there quicker .
Anyone know any good places to stay that won't rape me on price ? We'd
like to have a i bedroom beach view with good bike parking . Any help
is appreciated . We don't even know where to eat there . Trying not to
go over a $100.00 a day .

I don't know the area at all. But what I like to do is book on Hotwire. If you never used it you don't know what hotel you are actually booking and that is how they get there rates lower. You can however see the star rating and they usually have reviews. Another trick I do as long as it's not an area with tons of hotels you can look at the immentities and compare them to same star hotels on like travelocity. Usually you can then figure out what hotel it is. I save on average about $30 per hotel. My best deal was a four star for $75 a night that normally was $175. Just something to look into.

Not sure of Hotels but there are tons of places to eat and drink. Think about coming in May for Thunder Beach. Or Oct for the fall rally there are tons of vendors and things to do. Every bar has live music.

That's what I was afraid of . I'd be satisfied just to be walking close
to the beach .

We always rent a condo for the week. Use this website VRBO.com. On the beach for $100, ???
Maybe across the street. Lots to do Harley Dealer, Pier Park, boat rides. Wife lays of the beach and I just tour around on the bike

Maybe check out some smaller areas. Like Fort Walton Beach.

I use VRBO a lot . I'm starting to see some across the
street from beach which is fine . The Panhandle seems
a lot more expensive to me than the Daytona area . I
can't figure out why .

The panhandle has better sand, so my wife says. As far as family vacation we like Panamal City Beach, Destin & Gulf Shores if I'm on the top side of Fla

Captain Andersons restaurant is very good . Salty Goat on front beach road is a good bar lots of good places to eat, but I doubt you will find a decent hotel in PCB in July for a 100 bucks.
