Little Pink Houses of Hope

If you want to take “getting away from it all” to the next level, then Hatteras Island is a perfect choice.  At the heart of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, first time visitors and veterans alike are amazed at just how much undeveloped beach wilderness exists between the island’s seven village communities. Imagine endless stretches of natural beaches, sand dunes and sea oats, with the Atlantic Ocean gently roaring to the east, and the vast shallow bay of the Pamlico Sound to your west.  There’s little in the way of franchises and fast food but don’t confuse “doing without” with “going without.” Instead, think of soulful coastal restaurants and interesting mom-and-pop shops. Hatteras Island is the location where the vision of Little Pink was born and the community has done a beautiful job creating the perfect retreat experience.

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.  

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!

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.

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.  

Tentative Date: August 28, 2021 Registration Coming Soon

When you envision a classic family beach vacation, you’re most likely picturing Oak Island, whether you know it yet or not. That nostalgic feeling you get when you think of a family outing on bicycles complete with bells and baskets, an ice cream parlor after a round of mini-golf, or fishing on the pier is what family memories at Oak Island are made of. It’s no wonder this timeless place has been attracting visitors since the early 19th century. And after all this time, the familiar, uncrowded beaches still greet anyone who visits this quiet community.  Little Pink is proud to have the support of the Oak Island community that makes this a very successful retreat location.

Most every visitor who comes to Hatteras Island will make a stop in Buxton, either for the exceptional fishing off of Cape Point, the amazing kiteboarding or windsurfing or for the incredible views from the top of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.  Buxton is a quiet small town, and a mixture of rental communities, charming and decades-old stores that are very welcoming to visitors.  The drive onto the island will leave you breathless as your cares disappear as the Atlantic Ocean and Pamlico Sound stretch as far as the eye can see on both sides.  The huge sand dunes will remind you of remote beaches that have gone untouched.  This couples retreat is conducted in one large house with each couple having their own private master suite and shared common space in a luxury home called Croatan Ridge which sits on the Croatan Sound.  

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.
