"At this waterfront Cape Cod resort—whose name means "crescent on the water"—"the service is warm and personal." Design includes classic cedar shingles, English-style gardens, fire pits, and nautically inspired rooms with "breathtaking ocean and bay views."

Come cocktail hour, head to the clubby Thoreau’s and sink into a leather chair by the granite fireplace. "Everything about this place is extraordinary."
