Thanks for the additional info. Yes we're locked into these dates as it aligns with a school holiday. The only way we'll be able to fit it into our budget is if we can stay ~ $100/night. I'm starting to think I may have to look for properties that aren't on the shoreline, but with small children it makes for so much better stay being right there on the sand. I was basing my assumption off of past stays on the 3-day weekend, but yes...maybe this may just be a busy time. Lou
