The winter can be a drag, especially after the holidays are over. After New Year's Day, there's all of January to get through and the beginning of February until the next thing to celebrate: Valentine's Day. Some people aren't on board for Valentine's Day, but it's just an excuse to love one's honey a little extra this time of year. Many people, parents especially, can go out on a date, but a true romantic should plan to actually go away. Weekend vacations are short, but sometimes they're just what a couple needs to relax. Thanks to Airbnb, it's easier than ever to find a place to stay literally anywhere in the world. Whether a couple is on the West Coast or East Coast or wanting to hop across the pond, there are romantic places to visit.
To get started, couples should start thinking about where they want to go. And by think, we mean decide. The next month may be crazy booked up, but we were able to narrow down some places that still have rooms or whole villas available. Whether it's somewhere local or far, cold or warm, options exist. All are super cozy and romantic in some way. Many have huge glass windows to let in the sun and just enjoy the time away with a loved one.
So where exactly did we find places? New York and Pennsylvania have a ton of hidden gems. Then there are warmer places such as Miami and Los Anegeles. Airbnb also offers lodging in the Caribbean, like in Jamaica, which has private villas and ocean views.Ā
As long as one is with one's partner, that's all the matters. Although the love is what makes things romantic, a cute Airbnb can sure help.
