Best place you have stayed at on the water.

Where have you stayed that was reasonable, clean, and had nice people. Somewhere with easy water access. Stuff to do if the weather is bad. Possibly during scallop season. With good inshore fishing. And most of all would you stay there again. Anywhere from homosassa to mexico beach. Thanks.

OK I'll start. I had a good stay at the Driftwood in on Mexico beach with my family last summer. And I would stay there again.

Well it's not within your range, but we go to Orange Beach AL every year during thanksgiving and spend a week. We rent a condo from Brett-Robinson rentals, and stay at either the Phoenix XI or IX. Always clean awesome gulf view (10th floor or higher),Full kitchen, laundry, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths/ Lr/Dr free parking, and security officers. There is a public ramp within 1 mile of the place. Plenty of great places to eat out. Pay for three nights and get the 4th night free.

"Reasonable" is like, "how long is a piece of string".
Accommodation costs in the UK are very high in comparison to the US and with the dollar currently at almost $2 to £1, they will be even higher for any US visitors over here.
Thats why I come over there.

Cotton Hill campground outside of Fort Gaines GA is an awful nice place on lake Eufala, and the fishing is excellent.

Under $150 is reasonable enough.
