Bayfront Westcott House

Overlooking Matanzas Bay, this romantic, Key West–style wood-frame house offers uncluttered views from the porch, the second-story veranda, and a shady courtyard. The rooms—some with private balconies, two-person whirlpool tubs, and fireplaces—are immaculate and exquisitely furnished. Yours might have authentic Victorian furniture including a brass bed made up with a white quilt and lace dust ruffle. Beds all have hypoallergenic, microfiber linens by The Comphy Company, which earns its name. A nightly social hour features wine, beer, sodas, and hors d’oeuvres and the fabulous, full breakfasts are gourmet affairs. Children over the age of 12 are welcome.
