Dove Creek Resort & Marina is a 23-room boutique escape tucked along Snake Creek in Key Largo, set on Atlantic-facing waters in Florida's Upper Keys. As the only Wyndham-branded resort in the entire Florida Keys, it pairs island-style suites with screened porches and bay views with on-site amenities you don't expect at this size — a private marina, an outdoor pool with attached hot tub, palm-shaded hammocks, complimentary kayaks, and free bike rentals to explore Seaside Avenue. Continental breakfast on the bayfront porch starts each morning, and Snappers Key Largo sits dockside for fresh-catch dinners.

Step beyond the property and you're walking distance from John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the country's first undersea park and home to the famed Christ of the Abyss statue. Glass-bottom boat tours leave from the park's basin, while Florida Keys Dive Center, Dolphins Plus Marine Mammal Responder, and African Queen Canal Cruises round out the day-trip lineup. Drive twenty minutes north for the Caribbean Club bar where Bogart filmed Key Largo, or south through the Overseas Highway toward Islamorada's sandbar bars and Anne's Beach.
