Nice apartment with pool and beachfront

Having spent the pre-school era in resorts with kids clubs, the kids are now a little older and I’ve realised they just want to swim in the pool and build sandcastles on the beach.

This is making me think I need no longer need all the bells and whistles of a resort and could just rent an apartment so beach and pool are both adjacent and they’d be happy for the week. Also appeals to DH and I are potentially bring a little more peaceful than a resort.

Any recommendations? Criteria are:

  • 2 bed apartment
  • shared pool
  • close to a mini supermarket
  • beachfront
  • walkable to a town or village would be a plus
  • air con

Thinking of either Europe for the summer or Florida for winter sun.

Thank you, looks good! What’s the walk like to the beach? Is it manageable for young kids?
