A large number of those seasonal residents are renters, and the landlords are paying the amenity fees. We were renters for several years but bought last year and will happily be there by the second week of January. We will then attempt to get every ounce of value of the amenities while we are there. We spent August and part of July there this year and were surprised at how busy it was, having only been here in the winters prior, and hearing on here how much slower it was in the off season. Having been here eight winters, I have always felt that the overcrowding and congestion have been somewhat overstated. We go out to eat virtually every night and seldom have to wait more than 20-30 minutes, about enough time to enjoy a cocktail. It is undeniably more busy than in summer but not to the degree that some seem to think IN MY OPINION.
