Florida Beach area
 
We enjoy tropical beach area of Sanible but would like to go somewhere where beaches are whiter and water bluer. WILL BE A week late March with 3 kids 8, 10, and 12. Looking for specific beach and condo resort.

Siesta Key has sugar-white beaches. Don't know anything about resorts.

The beaches of Panhandle Florida (Destin, Pensacola Beach, etc.) have sugar white sands and beautiful water but weather is very iffy in March. You'll really need to stick with further south. Look into Anna Maria Island and, as above, Siesta Key. I don't know anything about resorts either; we always rent a condo.

We are open to good condo areas, close to shops restaurants. Good area for kids. So If you have suggestions around Siesta key area that would be great......

I have no specific condo suggestions as I haven't been there in years (because it's too crowded for me), but most of the restaurants and shops are clustered in Siesta Key Village. I would go to VRBO and see which condo complex suits you regarding how close it is to the Village and access to beach. Use Google Maps to see where the restaurants and shops are located and go from there. The best thing about Siesta Key in my opinion is kayaking around the mangroves. We used Siesta Key Bike & Kayak and they were very good. You might go to the TripAdvisor forum for Siesta Key to get specific condo recommendations.
