Beauty and the beach

By Mary Gostelow

THIS MONTH: Longboat Key, Florida

Where? Vagabond Cottage at the family-owned-and-run Colony Beach & Tennis Resort.

What? A single-floor villa right on the beach, a few metres from the water.

Why? Miles of beautiful sand and the Gulf of Mexico.

The WOWfactor: It's a tennis player's heaven with 21 courts, complimentary to resort guests. Many top authorities say this is the best tennis resort in America (Tennis Magazine, 1996–2004).
