If you're looking for a room with a view, the Island Inn Beach Resort has beachfront suites, a palm-shaded swimming pool and freebies like Wi-Fi access and private parking.

Ranging from efficiencies to three-bedroom suites, the rooms have free Wi-Fi access, TVs with cable channels and kitchen areas with refrigerators, microwaves, stoves and coffeemakers. In the courtyard is an L-shaped heated pool that's steps from the surf, as well as volleyball nets and gas grills. There's free coffee in the lobby for whenever you need a pick-me-up, and an outdoor bar for afternoon or evening drinks. Parking is free.
