Humans? We need addresses, or at least good directions, not a sentence on a matchbook telling us to just go "70 mi. S. of Miami on U.S. #1" to find this "Vacation Paradise for the Whole Family".
Still, it's a large place- 40 acres with 150 ft. of dockage, boat ramps, tennis courts, shuffleboard, putting green, children's play yard, swimming pool- after driving 70 mi.S. of Miami, it sounds like once you find this place you should stay awhile.
So spend the night in one of the 56 units or efficiencies (motel or cabins), have a bite in the dining room, all of which are air-conditioned and heated because this resort is "open year 'round".
It took a pelican's eye view for the KC Matchgirl to locate the remains of this resort, as it appears the original buildings were removed between 1995 and 2004, when it began a transformation into a city park. 3 more tennis courts were added to the original 2, and now there is a new, larger pool, soccer fields, baseball diamonds, basketball courts, and an outdoor theater. Only the footprint of the marina seems unchanged, and the pelicans who flock there for the "World's Finest Fishing".
Note: Founder's Park of Islamorada, FL, is located on the Plantation Key. The address is now listed as 87000 Overseas Highway. This book dates to the 1960's.
