Little Pink Houses of Hope

Nestled just north of the Florida Everglades, Marco Island offers white sandy beaches, beautiful homes, dozens of restaurants and ample water activities, making it one of Southwest Florida’s premier living and vacation destinations.    

Known for warm beaches and eccentric residents with a live–in–the–moment philosophy, Key West offers a relaxed yet unexpected seaside adventure. Do as the residents (known as Conchs) do and see where that free spirit might take you. Perhaps you’ll end up on Duval Street at a restaurant or shop, in Hemingway’s house or in Mallory Square watching the best sunset you have ever seen.  Key West once threatened to go rogue (in 1982 with a mock secessionist movement to create “The Conch Republic”); so this is definitely the place to throw a firm itinerary out the window.  Key West has embraced Little Pink retreat families to create an amazing retreat experience that you will never forget!  

Blue Ridge is a perfect mix of old and new, with amazing shopping and dining in a quaint small town setting. Blue Ridge has an artsy vibe, with a vibrant arts scene, local art galleries and great community theater.  Your family will relish the small town feel while exploring everything in Blue Ridge.  Named for the southern reach of the Appalachian Mountain Range that stretches into the area, the City of Blue Ridge boasts beautiful mountain views. With key water features, such as Lake Blue Ridge and the Toccoa River, Blue Ridge provides many wonderful water-based family activities and is the Trout Fishing Capital of Georgia.  

The Alabama Gulf Coast is warmed by sunshine, history, culture and unspoiled natural beauty. You’ll find 32 miles of sugar-white sand beaches made almost entirely of fine, quartz grains washed down from the Appalachian Mountains thousands of years ago. Once you visit the Gulf Coast, you quickly realize the beaches are some of the finest in the world, and one of Alabama’s hidden gems. And you’ll yearn to return year after year to feel the sand between your toes, splash around in the turquoise water, smell the salty air and admire the jaw-dropping sunsets.  Orange Beach, AL has embraced Little Pink families in ways that add to the relaxed feel and charming, small-town vibe.  

Emerald Isle greets Crystal Coast visitors at the western end of Bogue Banks, offering 12 miles of pristine shoreline and incredible views of the Atlantic Ocean and Bogue Inlet. With a focus on family fun, Emerald Isle is a haven for watersports, fishing (onshore, offshore and on the Bogue Inlet Pier), or simply sitting on the sand and enjoying the sound of the waves rolling in.  This small beach town rolls out the red carpet during a Little Pink retreat and highlights an incredibly giving community.

Located just 20 minutes from downtown Savannah, GA and facing due east, this Georgia barrier island has been a popular vacation spot since the late 1800s. Home to wide, clean beaches with warm and gentle waves, Tybee Island is the perfect escape for those who need a healthy dose of sand, sun and seaside bliss.  

Located on Florida’s Central Atlantic Coast, New Smyrna Beach is a charming beach town rooted in local culture, art and a beautiful, white sandy shoreline.  Known for its coastal architecture and personality, New Smyrna Beach is a prime location for surfers as well as visitors looking for a laidback community filled with hidden adventures.  Add the drivable beach and eco-tourism to the mix and you have the perfect blend of opportunities waiting to be explored during your Little Pink retreat week.
