However, before we make the retirement plunge we want to feel 100% confident in our decision. Have other people checked out other popular retirement communities in Florida? We plan to look at: Solavita in Orlando, Lake Wood Ranch Sarasota, and Margaritaville in Daytona Beach.

We had a lifestyle visit planned in TV last spring, but had to cancel due to COVID. We will try again soon!
We lived in the Bradenton/Sarasota area for 30 years before moving to The Villages 3 years ago. Anything from the Tampa area south on the Gulf Coast is a mad house of people and traffic. We were so glad to get out and are very happy here.
