We're so lucky to live in place where others vacation and if you're looking for a staycation option, Diamondhead Beach Resort is a great getaway right in our own backyard.

I'm always surprised at how many people who live here rarely, if ever, go to the beach. I was talking to a friend the other day who told me she hasn't been down to Fort Myers Beach since the hurricane and that was almost 2 years ago! I try to take full advantage of the many gorgeous beaches we have so close to home, after all that is part of the reason I moved here. And while living just a short drive away is wonderful, being able to wake up on the beach in a beautiful resort just really hits the spot.

Diamondhead Beach Resort Is A Great Getaway Right In Our Own Backyard

I was invited to spend a weekend at Diamondhead Beach Resort on Fort Myers Beach. The rooms are clean and spacious, light and bright, with a huge balcony to sit out and enjoy the view of the beach. Smelling the salt air and feeling that breeze off the Gulf was so nice, I didn't want to leave.

To spend the day, I took full advantage of the pool and the variety of frozen cocktails from Cabañas Beach Bar + Grille.
