Sweeping views of the island-dotted waters and curvaceous shore at Villa Point are reason enough to stay at this modest hillside resort with a truthful name. The 19 rooms are split between cozy but charismatic in an old plantation house and larger rooms in a modern Spanish-style wing. The grounds are lovely and the beach is a short stroll away.
It's the kind of place that's perfect for holing up and finishing a good novel or even writing one. The bar offers fantastic panoramas, especially at sunset, and there's a fitness center and tennis and squash courts.
