“This beachfront property strikes me as a classic family resort, where the emphasis is on tradition and access to the ocean. The tennis facilities are a real draw, enhanced by the availability of private lessons and specialized programs for children. While some may find the accommodations a bit dated, the overall experience seems geared towards active beachside fun and a sense of nostalgia.”
