There are five stylish suites boasting marble floors, dark wood furniture, mustard leather sofas, granite counter tops and ice blue bathroom tile. Feather down comforters and the best all cotton linens add a romantic quality to this secluded getaway.

Advertising director Karol Marsden and husband Dominic Marsden, a commercial travel photographer, transformed a run-down waterfront mom-and-pop resort into the Florida Keys’ newest boutique resort. As one would expect from such a pair of image makers, this Hotel is lovely to look at but the beauty here isn’t just good looks. With their warm hospitality and desire to create the kind of place they’ve been promoting throughout their careers, they’ve also made it a great place to stay for adults. Each are avid sailors, so water toys are plentiful. You can launch Hobie Cats and Kayaks from their Sandy Beach
