I would rather be in Bethany Beach than Cancun! I believe you can get some decent deals to Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.

Dominican Republic
Puerto Rico
Costa Rica (packages)
Cancun

The airfare is the biggest variable so it depends on the season.

How many nights are we talking about?

You mentioned DE beaches, so I can't tell if you require warm weather or not...

BUT I just plugged in 4 people (2 adults, 2 kids) into Orbitz for packages in Montreal in first week of April (Spring Break) and came out to $700 to $800 per for flight, hotel, car. That's slightly more than your budget, obviously, but maybe you don't need a car?

Quebec city. But I would consider a mountain vacation. We love Vermont in July/August. Weather is great.

Isla Mujeres off the coast of Cancun. Airfare for three will be about $1200, then rent a house or condo (tons there). Beautiful beaches; a fun town center; very relaxed pace; nice mix of Mexican, American and other international tourists.

Are YOU joking 15:02? I'm thinking with airfare for 4 people, you're already at 2000.

I appreciate why some people like Hilton Head, but with young kids I find you need stuff to do outside of the beach. They don't last long on the beach. The appeal of Sea Colony is that there is a pool, ice cream shop, etc. right there. No walking to the beach. You can stroll to the boardwalk at night. I'm trying to replicate that experience but add a little more culture.

Although it's not out of the country, with kids that age, what about Hilton Head?
