Situated on pristine 1,000-acre Lake Lowery near U.S. Highway 27, Oak Harbor offers an upscale rustic experience in its six cabins and 125 RV sites. The one-bedroom cabins come with central air and heat, full baths, full kitchens and screened porches overlooking the lake. "It's got a nice, secluded feeling when you're out here," says general manager Gregg Anderson, whose parents, Jack and Nell, opened the property in 1970. The resort serves as a base for $525-a-day seaplane fishing excursions with Ron Bull Adventures, which helps visitors catch largemouth bass, speckled perch and blue gill. Cabin rentals start at $90 a night, $490 a week or $1,250 a month. RV site prices start at $25 a day, $150 a week and $400 a month.

St. Regis Resort & Residences
Miami
Set to open in 2009-10, the St. Regis will bring "five-star-plus" service. Three 27-story towers will house 36 condo-hotel suites and 268 residences, each with European-style kitchens and "smart" technology.
"The most amazing thing about this property is the location," between the Bal Harbour shops and the ocean, says Alicia Cervera Lamadrid, president of Related Cervera Realty Services, which represents the property. "When you're in Miami, you're in Paris and San Tropez at the same time."
