A few of the reasons guests time their trip to Casa del Sol Naciente or Casa de Luna Cresciente around a specific week — plus what's worth doing any time of year.
Downtown St. Augustine strings up roughly three million white lights every winter — free, no tickets required, best seen on foot along the old Spanish streets. The season kicks off with Light-Up! Night the Saturday before Thanksgiving and runs through MLK weekend. Restaurants stay open late and it gets genuinely festive.
A 10-day motorcycle rally that takes over Daytona Beach — about an hour south of the properties. Scenic rides up A1A, bike shows, live music, and racing at Daytona International Speedway. Worth a day trip even if you're not riding; book early if you want to be in Daytona itself, since the whole area fills up.
The PGA Tour's marquee event returns to TPC Sawgrass right in Ponte Vedra Beach — a short drive from Casa del Sol Naciente. The par-3 17th "Island Green" is the one everyone comes to watch. Beyond tournament week, Ponte Vedra has some of the best public and resort golf in Florida year-round.
Florida's spring break stretch runs loosely from mid-February through April, with the biggest crowds around mid-March when most college and school breaks overlap. Beaches and restaurants get lively — great energy if that's what you're after, worth booking further out if you'd rather have things quieter.
Not tied to a calendar — good reasons to visit no matter when you book.
The oldest masonry fort in the continental U.S., right on St. Augustine's bayfront. Worth the walk even if forts aren't usually your thing.
Wide, uncrowded stretches of sand a few minutes from Casa de Luna Cresciente, with dunes and a lagoon good for kayaking.
Cobblestone streets, centuries-old architecture, and more good restaurants per block than a town this size has any right to.
TPC Sawgrass isn't the only course in town — Ponte Vedra has some of Florida's best public and resort golf available well outside tournament week.
Boat tours, fishing charters, and quiet paddling spots inland, if you want a break from the coast without leaving the area.
Staying at Miami Oasis with Pool puts you close enough to Miami itself for a day of the city without giving up the quiet of the suburbs at night.
