Overnight getaway somewhere close?
Our 1 yr anni is coming up in May. We just bought a house, so we can't go anywhere too expensive. I'm looking for a nice little city or hotel or bed & breakfast within 2 hours of Orlando. I'd like to go somewhere we can just chill out and have never been before. You'd think this would be easy, but I really need suggestions!
Here's where we've been already: Crystal River, Rainbow River, Daytona, St. Aug, Clearwater. No Disney, no downtown. Doesn't have to be a beach area.
Thanks!
Re: Overnight getaway somewhere close?
I second the recommendation for Sanibel Island! I believe the drive is closer to 4 hours, but it's definitely doable for a weekend trip. The beaches there are beautiful.
Sanibel/Captiva Islands
Tampa
Ponder-ing whether or not to become a Viking's fan
I was actually looking at quite of few of the B&B's in Mt Dora. I've heard it's a cute little town.
Mount Dora is a great quiet little town with lots of B&Bs.
I'm from Ft. Myers...so Sanibel sounds like a yucky, terrible choice to me. The sand is sticky, the beach is expensive, and the gulf is also very sticky there. But for whatever reason, a lot of people like it.
Vero is pretty close - around 2 hrs or so
Same with St Augustine
My husband and I are in the same boat, and we are thinking about spending 2 nights at the Ritz Carlton in Naples... apparently there are two and the one that is the "golf" is constantly running specials for $99 a night. Plus they have a free shuttle to the "gulf" Ritz where they tend to your every need on the beach.
Good luck!
