If I was ready to buy a condo anyplace in this country it would be Perdido Key Florida. There are a few reasons. Number one is that there are exceptionally few hotels in the region, so you can rent them out. The view on the coast is just beautiful over the Gulf of Mexico. You are close to both Alabama and Florida and even Mississippi.
I once traveled to this area for the Mullet Toss. It is a beach celebration where people throw a fish from Florida to the Alabama line. It was a fantastic beach party, with a lot of stuff to do. The thing I love about this area is that it is so relaxed. You can go everywhere in just a bathing suit, or a t shirt. You dont need to be all fancied up to go out to dine.
If you are looking to travel to this area you are going to rent a condo. There plainly are no hotels in this city that I am conscious of. Everything there is vacation rentals. This is not a unpleasant thing, because you can in actuality get a nice place right on the beach with a terrace for less than you can get a hotel room.
There are many property managers that run the condos, so if you are looking for an investment this is a great place to invest. You can by a condo, and then take a vacation to it for a few weeks a few times a year. Then the other 48+ weeks you can lease it out like a hotel room by hiring one of these property management firms.
The only competition you have is other condo owners. This allows you to travel free, and you can actually depreciate the cost of the condo over time since it is an investment property.
There are some tips though if you can invest and you are just traveling to the area. Most of the hotel websites that rent hotels, also rent condos in the area just like hotel rooms. You can save a lot of money by simply getting a condo this way.
Simply visit a discount hotel site and search for Perdido Key Florida and book yourself in one of those beach front condos. Keep in mind they are STILL rebuilding from the mutilation of Hurricane Ivan. It is still just a beautiful place to stay.

The Sheraton City Center is situated downtown in St. Louis, MO. It is a incredible place for a hotel. The hotel also features an huge pool as well as a sun deck where you can hang out on the top floor and go outside. The staff is incredibly friendly and they also have a bar and some restaurants.
First of all, the location. You couldn’t find a better place to stay if you are wanting to stay down town St. Louis. This hotel is close to Union Station, which is an old rail station made into a shopping center. They have the Hard Rock Caf there as well as Landry’s seafood. You are also within walking distance of Busch Stadium. If you are the gambling type the casino has a shuttle that will pick you up at the hotel.
The pool in this hotel is like none I have ever seen. They have an Olympic size pool on the 13th floor. This pool is huge. They also have a hot tub there. It is the largest indoor swimming pool I have seen in a hotel in a lengthy time, and I stay in a great deal of hotels.
The sun deck is an outside deck that has a view of downtown. It is also located on the 13th floor just outside the indoor pool. We sat up here and had a few drinks. It was such a relaxing area to go have a drink. We got to meet some really neat people out there while we were there.
The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Honestly for the price I figured this would be a run of the mill, nicer hotel. This was not the case. I felt like I was in a 5 star hotel in Las Vegas. They treated you very well, and on top of that they were very knowledgeable about the area.
The Sheraton City center also has a bar that is open until one in the morning which is also unusual. Most hotel bars close very early. This was also a very nice bar, they had couches and nice tables. They also served food there which was excellent.
There is also a coffee shop and a bistro type sandwich shop if you are on the run. The coffee shop serves Starbuck’s coffee. They also have some breakfast items and fruit which I did not get. There is plenty of room in this hotel for a wedding and or wedding reception.
If you need to stay downtown St. Louis Missouri I recommend the Sheraton City Center.
