We are looking for a place that we can visit mainly during the summer each year...I prefer a beach nearby (within 30-45 minute drive or less)...my wife is happy with just a pool. We will mostly be traveling with our kids (23, 22, 18, 14 YO) and the occasional parent / sibling / etc...

We want something that we will have and be able to enjoy with grand kids (when we have them)
