The beachfront setting of Perry’s Ocean Edge Resort keeps vacationers coming back year after year, generation after generation. Get your day off to the right start with free donuts, coffee and juice. Head back to your condo and get changed into swimsuits. Grab water wings and pool toys, slather everyone with sunblock and get ready for some underwater fun in the two outdoor pools. Relax with a cocktail from the oceanfront Mango Sun Tiki Bar. When it’s time for lunch, fire up the poolside bbq grills. Let the little ones help carry hot dogs, sides and burgers and get ready for a fun family cookout. If the weather isn’t cooperating, there’s also a heated indoor atrium pool. Check out the fun activities program for kids, the mini golf course or shuffleboard.

Modest studio condos sleep four to five guests. Kitchenettes with refrigerator, stovetop and microwave allow you to prepare snacks and basic meals. Bring the kids along to the Winn Dixie Grocery Store, just across the street, to make sure that no one’s favorites are forgotten. Flatscreen TVs with cable are perfect for catching a Friends rerun. Gather everyone on the couch with a selection of snacks and get ready to laugh. The last thing that you want to do when you come home from vacation is laundry. Thankfully, there’s a laundry facility on-site. Now all you have to do when you get home is unpack.
