Hello Tuggers! Just wanted to ask if anyone saw a huge softening in the Panama City Beach spring break rental market this year with the new alcohol rules in place?

No alcohol on the beaches during spring break...the entire month of March and first week of April.

Alcohol can only be served in clubs, restaurants, etc, absolutely nothing on the beaches. I live about 3 hours north of PCB and read where they were arresting kids left and right due to the alcohol. I also heard that crowds were way down. I am just wondering if anyone had trouble renting their units down there (or had to lower prices) due to fewer spring breakers...

I had 4 to rent at Easter. 2 the week before and 2 after.
Had to give the 2 before Easter back, no takers.
The 2 after Easter rented reducing the rate and last minute.
Both going with family.

I'm trying it again for fall and see if its any different.

We noticed the influx in Pensacola!!

It looks like the drunk college kids made their way down to Pensacola. We've gone to Pensacola for the last two years and loved the "family-friendly" vibe of the town during spring break. This year, TONS of drunk college kids hanging their heads out the car windows, throwing up, etc. One of our waiters commented that it was the change in the PCB laws that made them change locations. Hopefully Pensacola will instititute the same kind of law, and they will move again.

Rolling UP that previously rolled OUT welcome mat...

Quite ironic, this. It was just a few short years ago that PCB very openly and very publicly invited and welcomed college Spring Break "students" --- after the intrepid, "studious" young adults had managed to wear out their welcomes in Fort Lauderdale and elsewhere.

Apparently, the dollars the "students" bring to PCB apparently no longer justify all the irresponsible, juvenile, offensive behavior and aggravation that accompany them.
So......where will all of these brilliant young pillars of academia (...your leaders of the future :eek: ) likely head next to work hard at making themselves unwelcome?

This was the feedback I had been getting from others. Hopefully more families will fill in the void!
