Hoping for some advice.
Looking to plan for Spring Break 2016, which would be third week in March 2016.

I am trying to coordinate with my brother and his family, so between all of us, two families, three kids (2,8,12). We're looking for 2, 2 bedroom units in the same resort. The primary criteria are on the beach and activities for the kids. Also, a plus would be washer/dryer in the unit.

Wondering what the best options would be given what we're looking for and chances of getting two units in one of these affiliates during this time. We're coming from different parts of the country and given where we've vacationed before, looking at Marco/Sanibel/Captiva as a good combo of beach, easy to fly into and somewhere we've never been.

I've done a little research so far. Charter Club of Marco Beach, Eagle's Nest, Casa Ybel, or Tortuga Beach Club all look like they're meeting our criteria. Just not sure of availability odds.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Fwiw, there is a Gulf-front HGVC timeshare property called SeaWatch; located right on Estero Blvd in Fort Myers Beach (which is sometimes a.k.a. "Estero Island").

That being said, I'm betting that finding two available 2BR units there in prime Snowbird season might be difficult, but perhaps it's worth at least inquiring within the HGVC system (about which I admit knowing next to nothing). I do see (expensive) Snowbird week rental ads there every year. Closer to RSW (Fort Myers airport) than any of the other locations you mention but, although certainly nice, completely lacking in any on-site activities or options for kids besides the beach and the pool. :shrug:
