Seventeen bayfront acres serve as a water sports hub, running dive charters straight from the private marina into Blackwater Sound.
“This stylish resort has an outstanding waterfront location, which makes it a favorite among scuba divers.”
What it’s good at
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
The rooms have been refreshed with a chic, nautical flair. Many have balconies, and those with bay front views are the ones to book.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park sits five minutes down the Overseas Highway for offshore diving and snorkeling trips.
The rooms
Balconies in bayfront rooms look straight across Blackwater Sound, finished in muted coastal tones.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated and cooled swimming pool sits right on the bayfront, lined with loungers facing the sound.
At the table
Patio tables at Gus' Grille look over the water for local snapper, and Breezer's Tiki Bar opens wide to bay breezes.
How it began
Miami Subs founder Gus Boulis built the property in 1993, and the bayside restaurant Gus' Grille still carries his name.
