Family Vacation Itinerary
The family getaway you actually get to enjoy
Pool days, beach bikes, s’mores at sunset, and movies under the stars. Everything you need for a family vacation that feels easy from the moment you arrive.
Day 1
Start easy. Stay longer.
Arrive, settle in, and let the shift happen. Pool time comes first. Maybe a bike ride along the bay, maybe just a slow afternoon in a cabana.
As the sun goes down, head to the beach for s’mores or let the kids run a little longer before dinner. No rush. You are officially on vacation.
Day 2
The day you lean all the way in
Start the morning your way, then let everyone choose their version of fun. Time on the bay with paddleboards or kayaks. Games on the sand. Activities and crafts for the kids.
By afternoon, regroup at the pool. Order lunch. Stay longer than planned. This is the kind of day you came for.
Day 3
Slow down and savor it
Sleep in. Take your time.
Ease into the day with a family pickleball match or a morning spent building sandcastles along the bay. If the kids are feeling creative, head to Bayside Creative Corner for hands-on activities that keep them engaged while you take a breath.
From there, let the afternoon unfold naturally. No schedule, no pressure, just time together in whatever way feels right.
If you can, carve out an hour for yourself at the spa. You earned it.
Day 4
One last moment before you go
One more swim. One more walk along the bay. One more memory before the bags are packed.
The kind of ending that makes everyone ask when you are coming back.
Ready when you are
Your family getaway, already in motion. All that is left is to pick your dates and arrive.
