Romantic getaways in Florida - Image of St Augustine

Imagine waking up in the morning, fixing coffee, and nibbling on fresh pastries from Sweet Brewnette Café while relaxing on your private balcony overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Finish your day by sharing a bottle of wine and viewing the sunset over the water.

Romantic getaways in Florida are popular, but what is the best location? We’ve got the scoop on places to reconnect with your soul mate.

St. Augustine

If you’re looking for a city that goes down in history, this is it. The oldest city in the United States has southern charm, with horse-drawn carriages, cobblestone streets, and historic landmarks. If art is your passion, you can browse downtown galleries or catch live acts at the Colonial Oak Music Park or Ponte Vedra Concert Hall.

St. Augustine’s historic downtown is about five miles from the beach. This is a kid-friendly beach with a splash pad. A more relaxing beach experience is available at St. Johns County Ocean and Fishing Pier.

Amelia Island

About 35 miles northeast of Jacksonville, Amelia Island is ideal for lovers of lush vegetation and secluded shores. Spend time together strolling under moss-covered oak trees along 13 miles of beach. Outdoor lovers can enjoy five world-renowned golf courses, a six-mile biking trail through Fort Clinch State Park, or a horseback ride along the coast.

The island offers a variety of luxurious hotels with access to pools, private cabanas, spas, and rooms with balconies or patios facing the ocean. When planning your romantic getaway, ensure your rental meets all your needs, including proximity to the beach and space to kick back and relax.

Sarasota

This city offers 35 miles of Gulf of Mexico coastline and six barrier islands. This is an excellent choice for couples considering leisure activities as an on-the-go experience.

There are numerous tourist stops for couples, including the Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Myakka River State Park, Big Cat Habitat and Gulf Coast Sanctuary, Sarasota Jungle Gardens, and The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art.

Sarasota is a bustling city with over 4,382 vacation rentals to select from, including about 2,950 rental homes with pools.

Madeira Beach

Only 11 miles from St. Petersburg and 26 miles from Tampa, Madeira Beach is the cream of the crop for a romantic getaway location.

Enjoy shopping, fantastic bars, and restaurants while watching dolphins, pelicans, and other seabirds on the water. Couples enjoy tiki boat tours, sunset cruises, and wine tasting at the Florida Winery. Activity-minded couples enjoy wave runners, parasailing, fishing charters, and visiting the Alligator & Wildlife Discovery Center.

Remember to spend time together lounging on the beach, reading a book, or dipping your toes in the water outside your private Seaview Vacations rental condominium.
