No, that's not a typo you see in my title. Perhaps I've been married too long, but the term "holidate" is new to me. A holidate is designed for couples who are traveling together who are interested in exploring their relationship's potential. Now, the Casa Marina Hotel and Restaurant in Jacksonville Florida offers guests a one-night package getaway.

Located directly on the ocean where guests rise early to watch the radiant morning beach sunrise, ending the day upstairs in the Penthouse to savor the last glorious colors of an evening sunset, the Holidate season is offered Sunday night or Wednesday night for a very unique date from May 1st thru September 1st:

SUNDAY - Come for the Casa's lavish Sunday Brunch and a romantic day at the beach then stay overnight in a luxurious Parlor Suite - $139/for two

WEDNESDAY - Enjoy live music and dancing on the veranda with 'icebreaker' cocktails and tapas then stay overnight in a luxurious Parlor Suite - $139/for two (tax and gratuity additional for either Holidate package)

The hotel is recognized as one of the Historic Hotels of America.
