We stayed in one on our LSV in April 2011. I thought the location was great. When I went to the pool there was never anymore than a couple of others, it was like having your own private pool. I think I counted 53 homes once. The one we stayed in had 3 BR, 2 BA and was told it would sell for about $500K. I've seen it listed about 4 months ago for $725K, then last month it went to $699K. Considering it only has a 2 car garage and no room to add a golf cart garage and the garage itself could not hold 2 cars and a cart. It also only had about 10' of property all the way around, so no pool and no space to add one. It also had no lanai, the kitchen had stainless steel appliances, however they must be close to 10 years old, the countertops were the 80's style tile and grout. Carpeting has got to be very worn by now. I loved the location, but it's not worth $699K.
