While some of you are cocooned in your wool blankets, fingers wrapped around a steaming mug of something (with maybe a dram of bourbon?) ordering those fleece-lined leggings for yourself and all your family members, it is still summer in the souls of the rest of us. Heavy gray skies and scratchy woolens that don’t smell great have little appeal...
We didn’t quit our jobs and sell all our stuff to travel the world. We shy from selfies, and even if I was young and fit I wouldn’t be posting bathing suit pics on Instagram. We’re regular people, just like you. We have jobs, bills, a car that my sweet talented husband is underneath right now trying to fix, and...
And the beach is just a tiny drive away. Stay and play in this shaded enclave of historic cottages, hip restaurants, galleries and shops, where a creative team of entrepreneurs are putting their energetic mark on a once-sleepy riverfront town. The lively downtown has a strong artistic presence and a core group of businesses, residents and volunteers who make up...
When traveling to a beach town how much of your time is spent in your hotel room? You arrive, unpack and arrange that light summer wardrobe (swimsuits, flip flops, t-shirts, sundresses) in the drawers and closet, maybe bounce on the bed to test the mattress, peer into the mini bar (that you may break down and partake of later, price...
We all agree enjoying a meal with beachy cocktails overlooking the water is idyllic. In Florida your choices of waterfront restaurants are bounteous: some with your toes in the sand… or atop a deck… perhaps the view from a floor-to-ceiling window… with the water right out there, just feet away. But what about dining OVER the water? The ocean rushing...
Lake Worth Beach has been called many things. The Next Key West. A sweet quirky cottage town. Jewell. A dynamic, multi-cultural city with a strong social and environmental consciousness. And until just recently, it was plain Lake Worth. Faithful residents and champions of this lesser-known Palm Beach County town said they liked the name just as it was; no need...
As we scroll through vacation rental possibilities we’ve all seen boats – sailboats, trawlers, yachts – we can book for our entire vacation. Very cool, and certainly worth checking out for someday, but they’re boats. How about an actual cottage that floats? Because we’re all about the cottage stays, the tiny houses, the quaint bungalows that wrap their arms around...
Call them Caravan Kiosks, Truckpreneurs, Boutiques on Wheels, Pop-Up Shops, Photo Booth Buses; whatever the term, you’ve noticed more and more of them – yes, popping up – at Florida festivals, fairs, First Fridays, farmer’s markets, weddings, birthdays, charity events, and at food truck rallies. What makes them unique, besides the hard working team bringing you the goods and services,...
Yes, it was chilly Christmas eve morning in Cocoa Beach. Our friends up North scoff at us but guys, it was in the upper 50s at sunrise! Our first year at this event where our cute outfits were covered up by jackets! The frigid temps didn’t keep the crowds away though, and it was reported that over 600 surfing santas...
Pictured above: A Little Room for Art, Pass-a-Grille We’re always telling you to stay/eat/drink at independently owned businesses. Those hard working people who are just like us (not that the ritzy hotel chains don’t employ hard working people just like us… but big corporations just aren’t in our wheelhouse.) Today with the holidays approaching faster than the pounds have...
