“Here's my take: this oceanfront hideaway prioritizes beach access without the interruption of busy roads, setting it apart. I especially appreciate the Plunge Into The Arts program, which spotlights local artists, and the adult-exclusive bungalows that provide a serene retreat. It strikes me as a well-rounded destination for both leisure and business.”
