We are only going to be there for 5-6 days over the Columbus Day weekend. Probably Wed Oct 9 to Tues Oct 15. We haven't bought our Airline tickets yet.

We are looking for suggestions on where to stay. I looked at rental homes, but very few are interested in 1 week rentals it seems. We thought it would be great to stay somewhat near our lot and check out the area.

Do any of you know if the any of the local motels have golf cart access? The Waterfront Inn looks very nice but I am not sure I want to spend $130 a day. Plus golf cart rental.


We would like to rent a golf cart and pretend that we already have our house built. Play some golf, swim, go to the squares, restaurants etc. and check out newly built homes and the models for design ideas. (our lot is in Gilchrist)

This will only be our 2nd visit! But we can't wait until Nov to come back!!

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thx!
The Waterfront Inn would be your best bet if your lot is S of 466A and I am assuming it is but it is pricey. We usually put our son and his wife there when they visit. In July I was able to get a room for about $104 per night on Expedia.com.

I would think your sales rep could fix you up with a rental or a discount on the Waterfront Inn.

We just rented a house in Largo for our other son and his family for a week for $500. We had to give a $300 security deposit but got it back within a few days of their leaving. The rental included a golf cart and was a very nice 3 bedroom home with tile floors, king bed in master and Roman shower. The owners come in the winter so I do not know if it is available in October but the man that handled it has others. You can pm me if you want his name and phone number.
