I think it depends on where you are coming from. If you live in the north, you might find the beach pleasant in March. It can be, but it can also be chilly, for us. If you live in a landlocked place, you'll enjoy seeing the ocean first thing in the morning. MB won't be crowded that time of years, so you won't have to fight traffic to get to the golf course.

Thanks Sue. We actually will be coming in from northern Ohio, so you are correct on the ocean view. My concern on the beach condo is noise (it appears Avista is a large resort) and the potential of Spring Breakers. Although my son thinks that would be cool (go figure). Me, on the other hand, like the idea of a quiet golf villa............

There may be spring breakers there but it really isn't warm enough for wet t shirt contests. They head for warmer climes. Talk to the owner/contact person about your concerns and see what they say. I know a lot of those condos are rented by absentee owners, so they may know nothing about what's going on next door. Did you think about a hotel? That way you can move rooms if it's too noisy.

Have you looked at a package at Litchfield Beach and Golf Resort? Much less congestion than up in the MB areas. And Spring breakers will be at a minimum probably.
