Island Cottage Inn

Proprietor Mica Campbell recently renovated this quaint retreat located at the south end of Flagler Beach. Steps from the cool blue waters of the Atlantic, Island Cottage Inn consists of eight luxe suites, each one inspired by the French Mediterranean. Mica’s impeccable taste—think luxury linens, coastal neutrals with pops of color, and natural fiber elements—are woven throughout each one. Many of the rooms feature cozy fireplaces, perfect for canoodling after time spent lounging by the sparkling pool. Guests can begin each day with a gourmet continental breakfast, enjoyed in the café or poolside. The euro-inspired menu includes bites like freshly baked banana bread, Greek yogurt with fresh fruit, seven-minute eggs, coffee, and mimosas. With its intimate setting, the inn is reserved for guests 16 and older, making it the perfect romantic vacation spot for couples.

While you might be happily content to while away your romantic Florida getaway on the sand, Palm Coast and the Flagler Beaches is replete with outings and adventures that create lasting memories.

Breakfast:

Java Joint

While you can begin each day with the lovely complimentary breakfast spread offered at Island Cottage Inn, we do recommend that you occasionally venture out for brunch to one of our locally owned eateries, like Java Joint. The oceanfront restaurant has a well-rounded breakfast menu with plenty of savory and sweet items. Sip on a fruity mimosa or iced coffee while you devour crab cake benedict.

Lunch:

Afternoon Drinks and Snacks:

Flagler Beachfront Winery

Wine is a staple for a romantic weekend getaway. And a romantic getaway in Florida, where sunshine and balmy temps reign supreme, calls for wine slushies. Cool off with one of these delicious frozen drinks on the oceanfront patio at Flagler Beachfront Winery.

The Waffle Cone

Romance, meet retro. Split a sundae with your someone special at The Waffle Cone. A charming spot for an afternoon treat or post-meal dessert.

Dinner:

Next Door Beach Bistro

Enjoy a quiet dinner for two at this oceanfront bistro. Indulge in seafood pot pie, a lobster tower, or fresh spaghetti squash with shrimp while soaking up beautiful water views. Cap the meal off with creme brulee or bourbon raisin bread pudding.
