The woman at TV that did my arrangements said I would be staying in a cabana that is near Brownwood Town Square. A golf cart and a bicycle are provided.

Thank you all for your helpful suggestions.
That is pretty much what I did on my first visit and I see it as the best way to go. The accommodations were near Sumter Landing back then (2009). The golf cart provided was a little slow...

On that and subsequent visits I rented from Enterprise because they have an office and cars in Sumter Landing. On one trip my rental car's engine would not turn off no matter what I did so I took it to the SL Enterprise facility where their employees all had a big laugh at my expense until they found they could not turn the engine off either. They provided me with a replacement vehicle but I stuck around and the last I saw was the car was being loaded onto a flatbed tow truck, engine still running...lol
