Sunday, November 28th, 2010The Holidays in NW Florida
Wednesday, November 17th, 2010Planning to travel to NW Florida during the holidays this year? If so, consider staying in a NW Florida bed and breakfast.
Bed and Breakfast inns are more intimate than traditional hotels. It can be a bit sad to stay in a corporate hotel over Thanksgiving or Christmas, but staying in a b&b just feels good. Whether you are in NW Florida to visit family or friends or simply to be someplace different during the holidays, you’ll find a home away from home in a NW Florida bed and breakfast.
You’re guaranteed to start your day with a fresh, delicious breakfast; some inns offer light refreshments in the evening as well. Guests stretch out and enjoy the privacy of their rooms, but are also invited to relax in common areas. You’ll find you have plenty of space, as well as the company of the innkeepers and other guests. By the time you check out, you may feel as if your family has grown.
Happy Holidays, from NW Florida inns in Apalachicola, Branford, Cape San Blas, DeFuniak Springs, Port St. Joe, Quincy, and Tallahassee.

Flagler Beach
Tuesday, November 9th, 2010Flagler Beach is a quiet town on the Palm Coast of Northeast Florida, 30 minutes north of Daytona Beach and 45 minutes south of St. Augustine. There are just under 20 miles of pristine beaches here, and few crowds. People visit the area and stay in Flagler Beach bed and breakfasts because of the beautiful natural surroundings, strong arts and culture, and outdoor recreation. Surfing is particularly popular here, for some of the biggest waves in Florida hit this stretch of the Palm Coast.
Flagler Beach may be best known for its 800′ long pier – a paradise for fishing. No matter the weather, intrepid anglers may be seen dangling their lines off the pier. If you like to fish, consider booking a room in a Flagler Beach bed and breakfast; you’ll want a big, healthy breakfast in you when you battle a big one.
If you can tear yourself away from the Pier, browse the many shops and restaurants along the waterfront, and consider a trip to the Flagler Beach Historical Museum. It provides a thorough history of the region- from the Stone Age to the present. See prehistoric bones, dehydrated astronaut food and much, much more. (more…)
