I live in CT so can't spend time there regularly checking the scene out. Any advice about investing in a summer place in AP?

Good for you in wanting to invest in AP. The naysayers argue that AP will never come back to what it once was and they are right as long as people stay away it will never come back.
All it takes is for smart people like yourselves to realize that they are not making anymore beachfront property so this is your opportunity to own some.
Someday AP will be as vibrant as it once was and it will be out of reach of most people. The naysayers will complain that they could have bought way back when it was cheaper.
It could take another 50 years to come back and for most that is too long but there is no reason you can't enjoy the AP beach right away.
