7. Harbor House (from USD 269)
Because of their extreme charm, I think another Harbour House is an appropriate addition to this list.

Here, you’ll be in the center of the action of this busy, but old-fashioned harbor. And while you’re inside, the home provides some of the best luxury amenities one can get.

On the shores of the north
Prince Edward Island may not be a warm beach from the Caribbean, but it is surely just as welcoming; in its own way. These northern shores have just as much to offer as a tropical beach, and their climate means that you can experience the ocean in a new way with a different type of ecosystem. There may not be palm trees with tiki huts adorning the shores, but the charm of the moorland as they meet with the sea, and the cottages of the harbour make Prince Edward Island a island of its own league.
