A touch of Key West comes to Miami courtesy of this friendly 10-room hideaway with cool tile floors, crisp white bed linens, and rattan loveseats. The tucked-away residential location makes it easy to close the plantation-style shutters and forget that it's actually smack dab in the middle of South Beach. Reaching the ocean requires a walkable half-mile trip, but there's a small courtyard pool set in a tropical garden to appease those craving a more easily accessible dip. Breakfast bypasses standard continental fare in favor of hot specialties like broccoli, cheddar, and arugula omelets or multigrain walnut pancakes.
