Celebrate Mother’s Day at the Beach ~ Southern Vacation Rentals

Mother’s Day is almost here, and what better way to show mom how much you love her than by giving her what she really wants? This year, switch things up and celebrate Mother’s Day at the beach. There are so many great things to do at the beach; getting to soak up some sun is just an added bonus! Whether your mom is a foodie or wants to be pampered, we’ve got you covered. Read on below for some of our favorite ways to celebrate Mother’s Day at the beach. Be sure to also let us know your favorite ways on our Facebook page!

Brunch

Not only is brunch one of the most popular meals for the weekend, but it’s also a great way to reconnect with family and friends. It’s that sweet spot right between breakfast and lunch, where it’s still early enough that you can enjoy your day but not so late that you cut into dinner time. Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 12th, so you’ll want to be sure you secure your reservation soon – any brunch goer will know how fast the popular spots fill up! Here are some of our favorite spots for brunch for Mother’s Day:

Lunch & Dinner

Of course, if brunch is not your thing, you can’t go wrong with lunch or dinner! Some of our favorite restaurants across the Gulf Coast are offering Mother’s Day specials all day long. Take a look at Cuvee 30A on Scenic 30A, where a special Mother’s Day menu is offered from 11 AM – 3 PM. They’re also offering carryout options so you can enjoy a delicious meal from the comfort of your 30A vacation rental! If you’re staying on Pensacola Beach, then take a short drive into Downtown Pensacola for a delicious Mother’s Day dinner at Jackson’s Steakhouse. Their special menu features Red Snapper Persillade -day boat red snapper, parsley garlic butter, lemon supremes, and spring-vegetable pearl couscous. Sign us up!

Shopping

If your mom is a shopaholic, then you will certainly want to take advantage of all the great local shopping across all of our areas. In Panama City Beach, Pier Park offers no shortage of fun for not only shopping, but entertainment as well. Destin is home to premier shopping as well, with outdoor shopping at Destin Commons, Silver Sands Premium Outlets, and Grand Boulevard. The Wharf in Orange Beach provides a range of local shops that Mom is sure to love. For a day of what feels like endless shopping, pay a visit to the Tanger Outlets in Foley, just a short drive away from Gulf Shores, Alabama.

Spa Day

We don’t know a single mom who doesn’t like to be pampered. Fortunately, you can find a handful of quality salons and spas from Panama City Beach, Florida to Gulf Shores & Fort Morgan, Alabama. Whether you want to gift her with a great massage or manicure, these full-service salons and spas can do it all. Visit the Aveda Salon & Spa in Destin, Pensacola Beach, or Orange Beach. Our visitors in Gulf Shores recommend CC’s Salon & Day Spa, boasting “classy Southern hospitality” and so much more! If you’re staying at Portofino Island Resort in Pensacola Beach, you will find an on-site spa that is sure to help Mom experience a new level of relaxation!

Beach Vacation Rental

Of course, there is no better way to relax than at the beach! Treat your mom (and yourself!) to a long weekend across any of our areas. With vacation rentals in 30A, Destin, Pensacola Beach, and more, you’re sure to find the perfect spot. For the mom who loves to be pampered, Silver Shells St. Croix 1204 in Destin is our top pick! A three-bedroom condo with room for eight, Silver Shells St. Croix 1204 gives Mom those Gulf views she’s been dreaming of while offering some of the most exciting resort amenities across the Gulf Coast. With an on-site Ruth’s Chris Steak House, spa, sauna, and so much more, Mom will feel extra relaxed during her beach vacation.
