road with a walking lane, installation of a
$1.6 million IT infrastructure/phone sys-
tem, new beach chairs and cushions, a new
adults-only pool, resurfacing a pair of tennis
courts and renovation work on the proper-

Also tentatively planned for that stretch
is the conversion of some existing quad units
to one-bedroom units; but overall, the prog-
ress made over the next several years will far
more cosmetic in nature than fundamental,
Sanford said.
“We will have a fresher look and a cleaner
look, but one thing that people have come
to appreciate about Little Dix Bay is that it
doesn’t really change a lot,” he said. “Some-
times the guests will let us know how they
feel. A few years back, we were looking to
change the color of our beach towels, and
they let us know how they felt about that
and we didn’t do it.
“People like things the way they are here.
So you won’t see a lot of major changes.”
