Wentworth By The Sea – A Stunning Historic Hotel, One Hour North Of Boston

A bodacious seaside escape awaits you just a short drive north of Boston at the stunning Wentworth By The Sea Resort, one of America’s most inviting historic grand hotels. For 20 years or more the imposing Wentworth Hotel lay shuttered and crumbling on it’s rocky outcrop just over the New Hampshire boarder in New Castle, but  thanks to a massive multi-million dollar reconstruction, the 130 year old resort is more resplendent than ever in it’s history.  Stately, elegant, yet charming, the white ‘castle’ of the Victorian age is a testament to living a privileged life – if only for a brief interlude.

I’ve just returned from a girls getaway weekend at The Wentworth, and let me say a one night escape felt like days of pampering.  The delight begins as you turn right off Route 1A (first exit after the Hampton Tolls) onto Wentworth Road and ride past the pastoral golf course stretching along the ocean’s edge, and then catch your first glimpse of the gleaming white, red-roofed resort perched on a hill with commanding views of ocean in every direction.  The impact is instantaneous, beach-side grandeur of yesteryear.   Read more

Cat Island Bahamas – The Pristine Paradise You’ve Been Dreaming Of!

Don’t wait another minute to discover Cat Island in the Out Islands of the Bahamas – you’ll find miles and miles of gorgeous (undeveloped) beachfront and delightful laid back intimate resorts.  I’m just back from a fabulous 4 night vacation at the Fernandez Bay Village on Cat Island and can’t wait to go back again. If you’re looking for a beautiful, secluded resort to reconnect, rekindle, and recharge – this resort delivers with outstanding beauty and charming accommodations.  As I sit in cold, rainy Florida, with temps in the 50′s, I yearn to be back at FBV where the temps are in the mid 80′s!  I should have stayed longer!!!!  Getting there is easy enough – fly nonstop from east coast airports to Nassau, then connect with Cat Island Air or Sky Bahamas.  Or take a direct flight on Continental Airlines from Ft. Lauderdale or Miami.  (PS – there are no cats on Cat Island – it was named for a privateer by the name of Arthur Catt).

Fernandez Bay Village is the premier resort on Cat Island, and a wonderful choice for anyone seeking a peaceful, friendly, romantic beachfront retreat.   Arriving at FBV is like being welcomed by long lost cousins who own a fabulous beach side estate.  Read more
