Subject: Renovations to Cape Cod Resort Unveiled for New England's High
Season
North Truro, MA July 17, 2004 -- Travel Advantage Network, a wholesale-priced vacation club announces today renovations of its wholly owned Cape Cod property are completed. Sandbars, at Cape Cod Bay, a 16-unit waterfront resort has undergone extensive renovations for the 2004 travel season. “Sandbars is the ultimate Cape Cod retreat. It has a private beach at the tip of the Cape, plus it’s near so many attractions, but remote enough to provide that relaxed, old New England experience. We’re truly excited about the quality of the renovations and look forward to hearing feedback from our Travelers who visit Sandbars,” comments TAN property management department head David Dawson.
“We’ve stripped every unit down to the drywall and replaced nearly every element,” explains Dawson. The detailed project totaled more than $10,000 in renovations per unit. To create authentic New England décor, TAN collaborated with Elizabeth Williams Design Services, who helped select and oversee installation of top quality appointments for each room, such as wood blinds, ceramic tile flooring, and Corian counter tops. New furniture includes custom platform beds and new headboards, dressers, chairs, mirrors, wardrobes and tables by American of Martinsville. The beautifully furnished rooms are now accessorized with custom-made bed covers and shams, as well as nautical themed draperies, all in shades of red, gold and navy blue.
Throughout the project, TAN supported Cape businesses by using local plumbers, electricians, painters and construction contractors for the renovations.
The property was not the only facet of Sandbars’ makeover. The resort’s Web site, Sandbars.com, was overhauled, too, to be more informative and user friendly, with a completely new look and feel that complements the renovations. This new site is a great source for information about the resort, area attractions, directions and weather.
