Is there anything more fun to fantasize about than second homes? We think not. Most of us will be lucky to pay off one home in our lifetime, but it’s always fun to dream. The good news is that with small boutique hotels and services like Air BnB, you can now actually live the fantasy (at least for a weekend). We’ve scoured the web to find the best beach getaways from all over the world to fuel your fantasies and inspire your next trip. Some of them are private homes belonging to the rich and famous, and some are actually available for rent. From Montauk to Menorca, here are our ten most daydream-worthy beach house getaways.
