Cedar Coast Resort
This resort has great rates for a stay at a pristine beach! Check out their live beach cam at http://cedarcoveresort.com/webcam. The private beach offers tikki huts, lounge chairs, and spectacular views. Unforunately, they don't have a pool. You can also check out the White Sands Beach Resort. They have a Gulf View heated pool and nice rooms that are reasonably priced.
