english mum and little girl need some help

[LightWorker]

hi, HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL and thanks to you all, i am checking them all out and will let you know if i find something. so don't stop with the suggestions. i didn't make myself clear with regards to lucy so no apology needed. English tea is all well and good but i am a coffee guzzler and it has to be packed with caffeine!! As to the driving bit, i'll let you all know of make of car and colour then you can all avoid me!!! hopefully it won't be to much of a problem as i have driven in europe before. i am off to slovakia on the 27th march so shall get some practice in then. while you are all helping out here, can i ask about swimming with dolphins, where and how much and is it safe?, the other one is turtles and mannatees, is there an opportunity to get to see these gentle creatures?

the social life there seems to be well organised with lots to see and do so that is great, do the kids mix well?

look forward to hearing from you

This is in Panama City Beach. ​

We swam with the dolphins in the Bahamas, and it was a very memorable experience and one I'd highly recommend! And very safe. Manatees are rarely spotted as far north as SoWal, but they do love warm water, so you have a better chance at seeing one in August. Can't remember "turtle season" dates. Your best bet may be at the marine park mentioned above.

I managed Emerald Hill for 8 years and it is a beautiful well maintained complex. It is also centrally located in Seagrove and an easy walk to just about everything. The rate for a studio is around $800 and drops to $510 after September 4th. However, rates are sometimes more negotiable after August 10 since most American children are back in school. It may be worth a try. Good luck.

Val - I don't know if steps are an issue, but at Emerald Hill you are high on a bluff and have many steps to reach the beach.

Val - go to sunshinerivertours.com for swim with the manatees in crystal river, florida. I do believe they are more abundant in the winter months.

English Mum to the 14th British Colony of West Florida. Gulf World in Panama City Beach is only about a 20 minute drive from SoWal, particularly from Blue Mountain east. This weeks local, weekly newspaper, the Walton Sun, had a good map on front page with handicap access points highlighted. You should be able to access online. Tip. If you can find a house on one of the coastal dune lakes or really close to the Gulf, the breezes over the water will even make most of the day pleasant, even in August (IMO). I'd look for a screened porch.
