Planning a local staycation can be a refreshing way to unwind without the stress of travel. Book a cozy Airbnb or indulge in the charm of a local bed and breakfast. Take the opportunity to explore hidden gems in Jacksonville, whether it is a quaint café, a scenic park, or an interesting museum. Pack a picnic and enjoy a leisurely day outdoors, or meander through a nearby garden hand in hand.
The Riverdale Inn, located in the Riverside area, is a lovely historic mansion featuring eleven charmingly decorated guest rooms with private bathrooms, refrigerators, Keurig coffee machines and gourmet breakfasts is a smart option close to home. A one-minute walk, you’ll stroll along the St. John’s River, or escape for a delicious Thai dinner at Blue Orchid.
To add a touch of romance to your staycation, consider treating yourselves to a candlelit dinner at a local restaurant. Explore culinary delights you might have overlooked or revisit a favorite spot, creating a memorable dining experience. Enjoying a special meal in the comfort of your own home together is always a winner.
For a relaxing evening, plan a movie night featuring your favorite films or explore new ones together. Snuggle up in your blankets, enjoy a charcuterie board and a bottle of wine to create your own private cinema experience.
The key to a successful staycation is to focus on creating a relaxed atmosphere and enjoying each other’s company. Whether you choose to explore northeast Florida’s local treasures, indulge in culinary delights, or simply unwind at home, the goal is to savor the moments together and make lasting memories.
