I have searched high and low for this movie, with zero luck. Please help if you know the name of this movie.

I believe it is from the mid-late 90’s or early 00’s. I believe it was a made for TV movie, either on ABC or Disney. I’ve checked both of their lists of films for that time period, and nothing.

In this movie, a dad buys a motel on/near a popular beach, and moves his 2 kids there to fix it up and get it running. The daughter is ~16, and the son is ~13. I specifically remember a scene of the son jumping up and down on his bed in one of the motel rooms while wearing a cd walkie talkie. I believe the son also liked roller blading. And the daughter started crushing on a teenager her age who visited the area on vacation.

Please, if you can help, my exhausted brain will be forever grateful.

This did seem to be an american movie? I know family film, but a comedy? Given the cd walkman, I am guesskng 1990 to 2010?

Yes, definitely American. The kids both had dark brown hair, iirc

Digging very hard using motel hotel and resort. Seaview could be possible, but it is british.
