About Us

We are Staycation.

“Reverse engineer your life. Prioritize sleep, health, leisure and connections and devote remaining time to making a living.” - Philosophy of Leisure

It all started with owner, Nicole McClendon, taking an “eat, pray, love” two month trip to Blue Zone region Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica in 2019. The daily life routines of people who are considered some of the happiest people in the world, challenged her to shift her life to where it wasn’t something she needed to get away from in order to find the things we look for through vacation: rest, rejuvenation, pause, new experiences, new perspective, etc.

Staycation is about placing value on the things that bring us the tiny moments of happiness that come together to make our daily lives beautiful: good drinks, good food, community and gathering.

We hope you come and #stayawhile.
