Hi everyone...
Been a while since I've been here. Does anyone know of any cheap places in PCB? By cheap I mean less than 100.00. Doesn't have to be beachside. My family is going down the week of July 12 and I'd like to go spend a days too, but they're staying at Continental Condo's and I just can't afford that. I don't care if it has a pool or is on the beach or anything because I'll spend most of the time visiting my family at their place. I just need a place to sleep. Any assistance you can give would be appreicate. Thanks.

You might want to try the Sandpiper Beacon Resort, the Sandpiper Beacon might be difficult to get a room at as it is always packed, but you can try the Chateau Motel, or maybe the Palmetto, the older part of the Palmetto Motel is on the north side of Front Beach Rd but appears to be nice. Good luck.

Here are some suggestions:

Plaza Motel
Chateau
Peeks Motel
Bikini Beach
Flamingo Motel

Some of which can be found here:
(also try Counts Oakes Resort Properties - you can search their website for available condos and rentals)

Also, try our hotel price comparison... lots of rooms for under $100 here:

Welcome back, btw...

I want to thank everyone for your tips...I found a place for 59.00 a night which is exactly the price range I was looking for. Now I can't wait for my trip...July 15th can't come fast enough!! I wouldn't have known where to begin looking if not for your tips. Thanks again!

Mind telling us what hotel is $59 a night? I am always looking for a good deal.

It was the Plaza Motel...I've read alot of mixed reviews on it since then...stuff about roaches and sludge and stuff...so I'm hoping it won't be THAT bad. Guess I'll know in a few more weeks.

Is the plaza across the street from the beach?

Yes it is located acorss the street. I think someone told me across from the Days Inn.

Well Plaza Motel wasn't as bad as I'd read reviews about. Had trouble with my key not working and they didn't have a spare to give me, and no other rooms like the one I rented, so I got upgraded. The room was ok. It was clean but real small with shabby furnishings and a metal ceiling. It was ok if you needed something cheap. Good for spring breakers with the 24 hour pool and a karaoke bar next door. I would'nt recommend it for families though. Luckily we were only in it to sleep. We stayed with my parents during the day at Continental Condos. It was really nice there. They had some issues with a leaky sink, but it was fixed immediately. They weren't to thrilled to get up and having people in the window looking at them..lol(especially on the 6th floor) but it was just painters which wasn't a big deal...just a morning surprise..lol
The elevator there is horrible though. They tell you at check-in that it won't fall...lol...that's not a comforting though..makes you wonder then..lol. By the time it got to the 6th floor you really wondered if it was gonna fall or not..it was shaking and making horrible noises. So most of the time everyone took the stairs..lol

for future stays. consider the OSPREY or DRIFTWOOD LODGE operated by the Gilmore Family... I stayed 12 days at an upscale condo and wanted one more night so I stayed at the DRIFTWOOD. It was very clean, parking was no problem (Sept) just after Thunder Beach.... less than 100.00 nightly..

Welcome to the forums haze... and thanks for the info.

How was Thunder Beach? Got any pics you can post??

Also consider using VRBO, many owners will rent their condos and homes for great rates. :)
