Regarding the location of the pool in Diary of a Nudist...
I contacted an email friend Michael Bowen who is Doris Wishman's Biographer to let him know of bigbrotiki's finds. He wrote....

"It's likely, although not certain, that the pool scenes for the film were shot on Palm Island just off of Miami Beach at a large home owned by a man named Harold Chaskin. I am not 100% sure, but a number of clues / coincidences lead me to think this was probably the location.

(As you have probably guessed, the pool sequences had nothing to do with an actual nudist camp).

Let me know if I can contribute anything more to your investigation. Always happy to hear from people doing interesting detective work."

"If my theory is correct, the pool with the tikis was here (ironically, the house is currently in the market).
