Cooler weather? That's no reason to write off a beach vacation. It might be too cold to swim in the Gulf, but there’s so much more to the Emerald Coast.
Get Cozy at the Beach this Winter
Winter is Romantic
Book a Beach Bonfire
If you’ve never experienced a roaring bonfire on the beach—you are missing out. Chilly temperatures, the chorus of crashing waves, a star-filled sky, a picnic table covered in s’mores ingredients, and the people you love most all combine to create pure beach magic. It's an experience that you'll remember for years! Our concierge can even help arrange a beach bonfire for you!
Swim in Heated Pools
Many of our vacation properties feature pools that can be heated for an additional fee. Nothing is more delightful than a sunset swim in a pool that feels like warm bathwater. It’s relaxing and adds a bit of novelty and fun for families traveling with children.
Enjoy a Quiet Dinner
Visiting the Emerald Coast during the Winter months means even the most popular restaurants have tables available! Dine while watching the boats pass by in the Destin Harbor, soak up the funky atmosphere of The Red Bar, or indulge in a romantic dinner for two in Rosemary Beach. If you prefer a more intimate experience, we can help arrange a private chef experience at your vacation property.
Take Moonlit Walks Along the Beach
Grab a warm sweater and your beloved, and enjoy a moonlit walk along the beach. Look for shooting stars and the rare sparkle of bioluminescent algae as you hold hands and listen to crashing waves.
See Sunrise or Sunset on the Beach
If you prefer a more colorful beach experience, set your alarm in time to watch the sunrise. You’ll also see sandpipers digging for food, diving pelicans, and maybe even a pod of dolphins chasing breakfast! As the day ends, take in a kaleidoscope of colors as the sun dips below the horizon. Share a bit of bubbly (or a kiss) to celebrate the end of another perfect day.
A quiet Winter stay also means slow mornings with coffee on a deck, reading together on a porch swing, long bike rides, and cozy evenings spent in your beautiful vacation rental!
