Best place to stay without needing a car

My husband and I will go to PCB 5/10 through 5/18 and are looking to stary somewhere within walking distance to plenty of restaurants so we do not have to use a car. Ideally there should be access to some restaurants on the beach (don't know if there are any) or at least restaurants with outdoor dining. We would prefer to rent a condo, but are open to suggestions.

Also we'd rather stay somewhere where the beach is not too crowded. Any input is appreciated.

Calypso is directly across from Pier Park, which is grand central for shopping and has many dining options...several of which have outdoor dining and a couple of which have gulf views.

Calypso is a big place, but has quite a bit of beach as well and in May, I don't think you'd find it overly crowded. The only negative to Calypso in my opinion is there are no hot tubs, but that may not be a factor for you.

If that is an issue, Aqua is just two (or so) doors down from there and is also walkable to Pier Park, although a little farther than Calypso. Both places are very nice and newer. We use VRBO.com to rent directly from owners and get better rates.

Have a good trip!
