If quiet and cozy are attributes you're looking for in your beach getaway, The Dunes on the Waterfront are well worth a look. Situated on the shores of the Atlantic, this 12 acre hotel offers multiple guest rooms, suites, and one- and two-bedroom cottages. On its third-generation of same-family owners since its founding in 1935, it also features direct beach access, a heated outdoor pool, and — somewhat surprisingly — free Wi-Fi, so you can still bring work along (but only if you need to).
