Fodor's Expert Review Whalers Cove Resort

Perched about as close to the water's edge as they can get, these one-, two-, and three-bedroom condos are the most luxurious on the South Shore. The rocky beach is good for snorkeling, and a short drive or brisk walk will get you to a sandy stretch. Two barbecue areas, big picture windows, spacious living rooms, lanai, and modern kitchens with washer-dryers make this a home away from home. Units are individually owned, so they differ in decor. Grocery prestocking service is available.
