FL beach vaca w/ kids- driving from TX
Just started planning a Florida beach vaca for this July, driving from San Antonio, TX. I don't really know a lot about FL beaches. We probably want to stay in the northern section, either on the panhandle (gulf) or Atlantic side.... but staying north to reduce driving time.
We're looking for nice beaches with calm water for my daughter, and golf is a MUST! We would also like to go to someplace "reasonable" if possible, where we might get a "bang for our buck." 
Most of our friends from TX drive and vaca in the Destin area and that is certainly a possibility.
We also have friends that rave about St. Augustine and it seems like a very reasonable place to visit. 3 bd condos are less than $2K for a week.
We are looking to rent a 3-4 bedroom house or condo. Basically, I'm just looking for some ideas and beaches to begin researching.
Thanks!
Re: FL beach vaca w/ kids- driving from TX
We drove to Destin from Houston last summer (no kids yet, I was 20 weeks pregnant) and it took about 10 hours. We hit some heavy rain and stopped to eat lunch on the way. We stayed at Sandpiper Cove and we loved it. They have condos of all sizes, but ours was a 1 bedroom and had a pull out queen sofa and doors to the living room. Will definitely be back. Here's a link to my review on tripadvisor:
