Our recent trip to Indian Rocks Beach showed us that IRB makes for a great getaway on the Florida Gulf Coast. Like our opportunity to stay at a condo at Anna Maria Island, this also was a condo experience.

Our stay at the Da Vinci at Indian Rocks Beach cemented our opinion that...
When last we visited Anna Maria Island, we were at Bradenton Beach and found Joe's Eats & Sweets. It's an absolute destination location and Joe's is as much fun on the inside as it is on the outside.
They are quick to tell you at Joe's they make all their ice cream...
We have written about DeLand in the past. Recently, we found a little community nestled inside their Historic downtown. Dubbed "Artisan Alley," it is dotted with interesting shops, restaurants and clubs that are in a three block area just off the beaten Path.
Finding it is Half the Fun
It really is pretty...
So we were on our way to wonderful Wabasso, when we spotted Rock City Gardens on Highway 1 - just north of Vero Beach. It looked fairly interesting from the road, but until we reviewed our "Things to Do," on TripAdvisor, we didn't know it qualified as an attraction.
When we stopped by, we found...
Anyone who follows us, knows we have stayed in many hotel rooms, but recently we had the opportunity to enjoy a condo vacation - at beautiful Anna Maria Island no less. Sandy Hampton contacted us and offered to let us try her condo at the Bradenton Beach Club.
Unit 226 was handled by Seabreeze Vacations....
We were on one of our many forays to Florida's Atlantic Coast when we came across Waldo's at the Historic Driftwood Resort. Located in Vero Beach along the beautiful Treasure Coast, it was a wonderful experience in more ways than one.
We first wrote about Waldo's Restaurant & Lounge in our blog about...
Recently we visited Maderia Beach and had the opportunity to spend a day at John's Pass Village & Boardwalk. We discovered what many have known for years. This place is a great compendium of shopping, dining and entertainment experiences.
In all, we counted more than 100 different shops, services and experiences at this...
We were in Deland for their weekly farmer's market and discovered Bake Chop. This probably was the most rewarding dining experience we've had since finding Cafe Evergreen in Nokomis.
Don't Blink or You'll Miss it
Walking through the vendors down Artisan Alley, we found it at the end of the street. It is a modest...
We had seen the Ron Jon's Surf Shop billboards for years. So when we visited Cocoa Beach, we decided to pay them a visit. Even if you are not a surfer yourself, you have to be blown away. If nothing else, by the sheer volume and scope of their inventory.
After all, it's not only the...
We found the Ovation Bistro & Bar first while looking for a place to eat near I-4. This one was in Davenport. It was mid afternoon and we ended up having a late lunch.
It was a nice place, a lot of dark wood and leather, with an extensive bar. The food was good...
