Where to Stay.

Middleton Park is our official headquarters, so most people try to stay in that general area. But no matter where you stay, you’re never more than a 10-minute golf cart ride away.

House rentals are the most popular option for FlockStars, and there are thousands. Prices also drop drastically three or four blocks back from the beach.

Retro beach motels and inns are a great option for solo FlockStars or those travelling with one or two other peeps. And did we mention the throwback places are adorable?
