Seclusion can mean seduction when searching for a romantic getaway. A stay in a coastal lighthouse is just the thing to light up your relationship. Whether its winter or summer, the two of your can cozy up to the fire or watch the sun set from your private island.

Most lighthouses are set in remote locations, although some may be close to a small town. They hold a lot of history and may be the incentive you need to get your other half out of the house for a few days.

Imagine yourself cuddled up in an old lighthouse, which can be the setting right out of of a romance novel. The two of you can rekindle your relationship and let the light of your love shine through, like the beacon that once shined in the lodging you are in.

Some lighthouses make a nice setting for a picnic or to use as a backdrop for that perfect picture of the two of you.

The National Park Service has an extensive listing of lighthouses around the US available to stay in overnight. Prices can range from $30 per night to up in the hundreds per night. Some lighthouses even offer private massage service and picnic lunches for day hikes.

So, pack a stadium blanket and wrap it around yourselves as you look out over the water and watch the sun set from your own lighthouse.

If you can't find what you are looking for throught the National Park Service, be sure to check out your local bookstore or check out a coastal destination, which is sure to offer lighthouses to see and possibly spend the night in.
