As the New Year inches closer, we’re ready for midnight toasts and new beginnings, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a getaway this winter in Florida. While the other areas of the country are unpacking their cold-weather gear, we’re still strolling in shorts and sandals. The weather in the Flagler Beach area stays mild from December to February, with temperatures hovering in the mid to high 60s—you’ll notice a chill to the air in the evenings, but those are best spent curled up by the fire in your cozy guest suite at Island Cottage Inn.
Our beautiful Florida Bed and Breakfast is one of the best places to stay in Flagler Beach. Nestled on the edge of this quiet surfer town, you’ll savor the slower season with fewer crowds and tourists on the beach. Winter in Florida is something you really should experience for yourself, and when you book one of our newly remodeled suites, you’ll quickly see why guests return time and again to celebrate and refresh.

Winter in Florida: Experience the Slower Season
Take advantage of the mild winter weather in Flagler Beach in the New Year. While it might not be bathing suit warm, there are still plenty of wonderful things to do in the area. Here’s what a classic daily itinerary might look like when you book your stay at our Florida Bed and Breakfast.
- Awake refreshed to the sound of the ocean, take your time, and join us in the cafe for freshly brewed coffee and orange juice. Our complimentary continental breakfast is the best way to start your adventure this winter in Florida. We offer a rotating mix of lighter fare, including our almost-famous homemade banana bread, yogurt and granola, and fresh fruit.
- After you’re fully caffeinated, stroll just across the way to our private beach area. The cinnamon sand and gentle waves create the perfect backdrop for a long walk on the beach with your favorite person. We have beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas available to all guests.
- When it’s time for lunch, hop on one of our complimentary cruiser bikes and head into downtown Flagler Beach just about ten minutes from our Florida Bed and Breakfast. Vessel Sandwich Co. is one of the best locally-owned casual cafes for made-from-scratch sandwiches, seafood options, and beer and wine.
- Head to the six-block stretch of downtown Flagler Beach to peruse the local boutiques, art galleries, quirky surf shops, and much more. Pop into Flagler Tea Company for a gluten-free sweet treat and a warm or iced beverage, or SunBros Cafe for the best latte and pastries in town.
- When it’s time for happy hour or an early dinner, head for classic Italian fare with a modern twist at FARO Beachside Eatery. You’ll love the oceanside views, craft cocktails, and welcoming service.
- After a lovely dinner, make your way back towards the Inn and check out Gamble Rogers State Park; you’ll catch one of the most beautiful sunsets and might even experience some live music from the local folk singers who meet there regularly.
- Your beautiful guest room will be awaiting your return. Slip into your robe, open a bottle of wine, turn on the fireplace, find your favorite show on Netflix, and settle in for a cozy night. The best way to create memories this winter in Florida!
Elegant En Suite Bathrooms in Every Room:
We know the importance of a clean and welcoming bathroom space when you’re on vacation. Each of our guest rooms offers a unique layout, so no two en suites are alike (one has a deep soaking tub, while others are equipped with spacious and brightly-tiled showers.)
We’ve continued our fresh, crisp white aesthetic throughout with pops of color and high-end fixtures. Towels are delightfully fluffy, robes are plush, and our bath products come from Public Goods for a luxurious touch. Because we strive to maintain a small footprint wherever possible, you’ll also find premium bamboo toilet tissue from Who Gives a Crap. For us, it’s all about the details that make your stay this winter in Florida memorable!
