One night in Tampa, where to stay close to beach?

[MickeyMickey]

Flying into Tampa, staying one night to take the kids to the beach and then headed to Disney.

Any suggestions on where to stay and what beach to go to?

Thanks

Check out Madeira Beach. We stayed at Holiday Isles Beach Resort. It is a family friendly, very clean but affordable hotel right across the street from the beach. It gets great reviews online. Check it out!

Clearwater Beach is 20 miles due east of the airport in Tampa and there seem to be plenty of nice hotels there right on the beach. Might be worth it if you're only there for one night...
Plus, you're close to I-4, which you'll be taking straight to WDW.
