Looking for a private villa with ocean waves right outside the door. Great weather. Yummy food. Anywhere South or Central America or Hawaii. Price isn't an issue. Just need to be inspired. 10 days. Not Mexico or Cuba

Kill Devil Hills North Carolina for a more coastal vibe, Costa Rica, Bali and if price isn't a factor the French Polynesian islands. Hawaii is AMAZING but there aren't many homes right on the beach from what I saw.

We loved Cook Islands. Spent time in Rarotonga, Aitutaki and Atiu. It really is like Hawaii 50/60 years ago. Lovely people. This March we have booked Curacao. Not a bad flight, via Toronto. 11 hrs travel time. Great looking clear waters. 38 beaches. Mostly white sand. You can snorkel right from the beach in most places. Lots to see and do.
