Ponte Vedra, Florida
Our readers say: This small property is "on the prettiest beach in Florida, with gorgeous views from every suite," ergo the perfect location score. Twenty miles from historic St. Augustine, it was built to resemble a Mediterranean villa and has Spanish mission accents: a terra-cotta roof, stucco exterior, stone fountains, and wrought iron lampposts. Accommodations come with floral bedding and curtains and four-poster beds. Have lunch outdoors—fish tacos and ahi tuna salad—under beige and green umbrellas at the casual Oasis, then sit indoors at the Innlet for a more formal dinner of fresh seafood like bourbon-marinated Atlantic salmon or Cajun-seared mahimahi. Expect "phenomenal service."
