Frommer's Exceptional

The oldest residence in Delray Beach, Sundy House is a bona fide 1902 Queen Anne that has been restored to its Victorian glory -- on the outside, at least. Inside, the four one- and two-bedroom apartments are in a style best described as Caribbean funky, adorned in brilliant colors and outfitted with state-of-the-art electronics, full modern kitchens, and laundry facilities. Six guest rooms known as the Stables are equestrian chic, with rustic appointments in dark woods. While the rooms here are outstanding, it's the surrounding property that garners the most oohs and aahs. Set on an acre of lush gardens, the Sundy House is surrounded by more than 5,000 species of exotic plants, streams, and parrots, making an escape here seem more Hawaii than Florida. You can even swim with fish in the hotel's swimming pond! The on-site restaurant features exquisite New Florida cuisine, oftentimes using fresh fruits and herbs straight from Sundy House's botanical Taru Garden.
