Five individual, impeccably maintained cottages with private decks overlook the glass-clear ocean. Many repeat guests say this is the most relaxing place in the world, and they take advantage of it by vacationing here two or three times a year. The elevated restaurant and beachfront bar is the place to relax, swap stories, and enjoy cocktails with the locals. Breakfasts, included in the room rate, consist of homemade banana bread, cinnamon buns, assorted muffins, and fresh fruit. On-site owners Mickey and Joan McGowan make guests feel like family. Mickey leads the diving program and can arrange for a fishing guide, or point you in the right direction to explore land and sea on your own. Pros: perfect beachfront location for a do-it-yourself vacation, outstanding food, guests are treated like family. Cons: no air-conditioning or TV, you need insect repellent when the wind is down.
