[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were thinking about doing a week at a Delaware beach this summer. We have two kids (age 5 and 2) and would like 2 bedrooms or at least a hotel room that is a suite. I did a little research on Sea Colony which we've heard good things about and I can't believe how expensive it is! Seemed like I was seeing upwards of $2000 for the week.

Is there a cheaper way to do this that will still be relaxing and fun with little kids? I'd love some specific suggestions. We are not in to the idea of camping, just to rule out that reply![/quote]

A trip to the local beaches is actually pretty expensive. There is no "inexpensive" really when it comes to staying a week.

The least expensive option is to go to Ocean City on an off week.  Even less expensive, stay somewhere outside Ocean City like the Francis Scott Key resort.

[b]Many, many people will tell you their kids love the beach and spend hours there.  That may or may  not apply to your kids.

Another consideration, there were a couple weeks last year when you couldn't go in the water due to rip tides.  Make sure there is a pool that is accessible.

I would also agree with this.  My kids are now 9 and 7 and they have never been play at the beach for hours on end kinds of kids.  So, wherever we go, there need to be other things to do besides the beach.  Just something to consider before you book a full week.  I would try to find a place that has other things to do.  We rented a house once (on Cape Cod) and it had a big back, flat, fenced in backyard.  The kids liked playing there more than the beach.  They also liked a baseball field where they could just run around freely.[/quote]
