At this time-share resort, palm trees, quiet ponds, and gazebos set the mood on 23 acres of gulf-facing grounds. Inside the two-floor stilt buildings, the one- and two-bedroom apartments are roomy and contemporary, with full kitchens, wicker furniture, tasteful patterns, and big screened-in porches that look out to the beach. Pros: on the beach; good restaurants; lots of recreational opportunities. Cons: spa treatments in-room only or beachside; minimum-night stay requirement.
