We love our moms, giving so much and yet asking for so little in return, but this year when Mother’s Day rolls around again, maybe this will be the year when you surprise her with a gift she will never want to return, a Mother’s Day trip to Cocoa Beach. Offering the serenity of the sea, exciting adventures, and all the comforts of home when you choose Happy Palm Stays for her vacation accommodations, it will be wonderful to show your mom just how much you appreciate all she has done for you. This guide to a Mother’s Day spent on the Space Coast, treating mom to a Cocoa Beach trip that will bring a smile to her face that simply can’t be erased will be the perfect thank you to the most beautiful woman in your life.
Brunch of a Lifetime on Your Cocoa Beach Trip
The best holidays often involve a special meal and although there is no special food attached to Mother’s Day as there is with Easter or Thanksgiving, a Mother’s Day brunch at Flavour Kitchen & Wine Bar is sure to make her day more special. Located at 15 N Orlando Avenue, New York chef Jason Bunin utilizes his 30+ years in the restaurant business in New York towards creating a Mother’s Day brunch in Cocoa Beach your mom will never forget. Offering complimentary mimosas with brunch entrees, mom can get giggly and happy over breakfast nachos, green eggs and ham (an herb infused omelette, baked with cheddar cheese and greens, and potato hash) or a big banana pancake topped with warm berry syrup and whipped cream.
Pampering Mom
For as long as you can remember, mom has been in constant motion, cleaning, cooking, rocking babies, walking dogs; the list is endless, but we say during her Cocoa Beach getaway that should stop. Convince her to sleep in late, bring her a bouquet of flowers to brighten up her room, and set up an appointment for her at the Cocoa Beach Spa, located at 117 Barlow Avenue. Offering a variety of spa services guaranteed to spoil, on Mother’s Day they up the ante, offering services that include a spa day complete with massage, facial, manicure, and pedicure and if you are the daughter of your mom, their mother/daughter massage will help you bond.
A Photo to Remember
If you were to ask mom what she wanted for a gift, chances are her first answer would be more time with you followed closely by a family photo and we can’t think of a better place to give her the picture she will appreciate forever than a beach shot right here in Cocoa Beach. And although you could set up a camera with a tripod and a timer, Beach Memories by Ann can take your family photograph to the next level of perfection. Located at 315 N Brevard Avenue, this company has been documenting the moments you want to remember forever for so long, taking good pictures is just second nature.
The Family That Arts Together
Once upon a time, many years ago, you and your mom spent many mornings or afternoons, creating art together as you talked about school days, friends you met, and the cool caterpillar you found under the swings at the park. You will never be able to recreate those precious moments precisely, but a visit to Painting with a Twist, 109 Street in Cocoa, will come close and because you get to sip wine as you create, may even be slightly better. Painting together in the studio or in your Happy Palm Stays vacation escape (they offer private parties and at home paint kits) will bring back the closeness you once shared, while giving you a souvenir that will be cherished forever.
Sunsets and Manatees
While dad might prefer a deep sea fishing expedition, mom will appreciate the water tours offered by Three Brothers Dolphin and Manatee Adventures of Cocoa Beach. Located on Merritt Island, tours can be booked by calling (386) 310-4927, giving mom a chance to commune with manatees and dolphins as the sun sets over the Space Coast.
Family Moments with Happy Palm Stays
Some of the most memorable moments of your Mother’s Day adventures, however, may be the ones you spend at home with Happy Palm Stays. Treat mom to breakfast in bed, encourage her to laze poolside with a tropical drink in hand, and make sure that she is the one to sit at the breakfast bar while you prepare the meals you learned how to create from the one, the only, the mother you love more than all the skittles in the rainbow. Reach out to us and reserve your favorite Cocoa Beach vacation home today and relish the tear in mom’s eye, the giggle she utters, and all the hugs you can steal from her, knowing she always offers an unending supply!
