What is the best moderate to inexpensive island beach vacation for a family with children? And what resort?

I am looking to take a trip with my parents, my wife, and my children ages 2, 8, and 11 years old. However, I am having a difficult time looking due to my lack of free time. Please help me out. Thanks. Also what airlines seems to be the cheapest and the most reputable. Thanks

1. From experience, unless you know someone with a condo who will rent for cheap, beach vacations are very expensive.
2. Why dont you just go on a carnival cruise. they can take u to bahamas from florida, or baja mexico from california. and everything is included. so its not even THAT expensive. your food/ lodging/ on boat entertainment is included.. and theres something to do for everyone. kids can go swimming, old people can go watch the shows, and middle aged people can get drunk at the bars and gamble.. DONE
3. By far Galveston Island on the coast of Texas is the cheapest and best vacation spot in the USA. Go on the Internet and see all the attractions, it is a good place to visit! You can fly into Hobby Airport between Houston and Galveston at very reasonable fare.
4. Every place that I have ever been too, renting anything on the beach front is very expensive. Pensacola, Florida is a very nice family type environment, and Gulf Shores in Alabama is even more of a family type place where your wife and children would like. As far as islands go I am not sure about those. There are resorts at both of these beaches. They're beautiful and within the limits of being (very affordable). They also have non-child resorts, and one with child resorts; so the family can be comfortable without their children seeing too much adult activity going on. You get the picture I'm sure. All you have to do is get on the Internet and pull these places up with just a click of the finger. It will tell you whether its a four or five star rating, pictures of the room and everything you need to do and see before you go there. Good Luck, finding what you want....and (sneak me into the trunk). I love the beach..........LOL
