Resort Review: Westgate Cocoa Beach Resort

Posted on by Mandy Mizell

Formerly the Wakulla Suites, the Westgate Cocoa Beach Resort caught my eye every time I cruised down A1A in the Space Coast. It was the topic of discussion at the Hukilau Tiki Convention as it is one of the last standing midcentury Polynesian resorts in Florida.

For a Flohemian spin, I used Coconut Stevia Sweet Drops in my recipe.

I had the pleasure of being hosted at Crane’s Beach House for a staycation that offered a full-on latitude adjustment. The property is located in Delray Beach, however Crane’s Beach House feels like a slice of the Keys got squeezed into Palm Beach County. This boutique hotel is tucked away just a block off of […]

Posted on by Mandy Mizell

It is known as the “Sportfishing Capital of the World,” but if heading out to sea is not your forte, this Keys community is my favorite for its beachy, Bohemian art scene. You do not need to have a seafaring schedule to enjoy the islands and its namesake purple sunset skies. I rounded up 3 free roadside destinations for you to explore Islamorada the Flohemian Way.
