• Trips to Florida don't have to include the kids.florida sky image by jimcox40 from Fotolia.com
  
  Vacations in Florida often include kids, and when they do, most activities are geared to the interests of the little ones. Family vacations can be hectic and noisy, though fun. But when adults want their getaway to be a time for socializing with other adults without any distractions, they seek vacations that cater specifically to them. Whether a venue that expressly forbids children or a venue that is simply not of interest to them, vacations to Florida can be an adult-only paradise.

• Reserved for a clientele of adults and young adults, the Wisteria does not allow children under 12, but pets are welcome.
