Best beach in Florida on gulf coast to stay at?

Question

My family went to Panama City Beach last year and stayed at Edgewater Beach Resort in the Golf Villas. We really enjoyed it there, but were wondering if there are any other beaches kind of near to that that are nicer with Villa's or Suites in the Hotel.

Our price range is up to about $230, must have at least 1 bedroom.

On the beach or right across the street would be great.

So, any advice? =]

thanks, tara

Hi Tara!  We've stayed at Sandpiper Beacon Resort for 6 summers in a row.  That place is VERY family oriented, with 3 outdoor pools, 1 indoor pool, indoor lazy river ride, waterslides at one pool, mini golf, jacuzzi at one pool, restaurant, laundry room, gift shop, tiki bar, kids playground on the beach, and lots more.  The Resort has been there for a while, the rooms aren't the nicest, but within reasoning.  They do have a variety of rooms available.  Prices aren't too bad either.  Check them out : sandpiperbeacon.com, hope this helps!  Jenn
