What I love most about my villa is sitting on my back patio or in my lanai and watching pond activities – various shore birds foraging (cranes, herons, egrets, wood storks – even occasional rosey spoonbills), mallards and mergansers diving and swimming about, and sometimes a kingfisher or osprey diving for fish. I also enjoy watching the butterflies in the gardens. A bonus is there is always a friendly smile as I am about in my community.

This is a 55+, no pet community (except service animals). 700+ credit score required by HOA for purchase.
