Islamorada, Florida
Our readers say: On the site of a former coconut plantation midway between Miami and Key West, this 18-acre "Old Florida–style property" gets a perfect location score for its setting on 1,100 feet of private white-sand beach, amid bougainvillea and 700 coconut palms. "Very private cottages" range from one to three bedrooms in size, with kitchens and hardwood floors, and, in many cases, washers and dryers. Pierre’s Restaurant is a white two-story plantation house with blue shutters; diners can eat inside or out with views of Florida Bay sunsets. The spa offers massages, skin treatments, facials, yoga, and reflexology.
