Wee plan on buying a block Villa maybe new, maybe fairly new. I am a Hospice nurse and my Sig other is a staff accountant. Yes, we are still gonna work!

1. Where should we stay for at least two months before we buy? We have a small dog, a quiet bird and an indoor cat. We have considered renting a villa. We called extended stay and they wanted too much money. The villas seem reasonable. Are there any other options?

2. Where should we have our mail forwarded to? A PO box?

3. Which is better..Ratpack or Pods?

Thank you all...so excited!

I've always liked a couple of the courtyard villas but the garages almost drove me nuts. We rented one villa where we had about 4" between my Ford Flex and the golf cart! Mom would be directing me from one side of the Flex and my aunt was on the other side! Yikes, I wouldn't want to do that every day! A lot of the new villas in southern TV have two car garages.
