With summer heating up across the U.S. and a rise in smaller teams on business and incentive travel, these tranquil and
spacious coastal sunspots were designed with bleisure in mind. Some clinging to the sandbar while others are perched just
above the water's surface, at these properties, you may find yourself not minding so much when the meeting runs over.
