The name sounds like a Beach Boys song or a mythical concept—-and in a sense that’s what it is: a mythical place within a mythical place. Palm trees. Balmy tropical weather. Adjacent to a golf course. Just a few blocks from the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. Glitzy glamourous resorts like the Fontainebleau […]
