One thing not mentioned among the excellent suggestions..... GOLF! I don't know from your post if you are a golfer so it may or may not, be important to you. It IS important to me and thus we bought in Sanibel. If you look at the map of the villages, and particularly the map of golf courses you will notice some areas have decidedly more golf, particularly executive golf, than others. On the west of Canal street, which bisects the area between 466 and 466a, and south of Lake Miona, there are 9 executive courses with another three that are on both sides of Canal, and one on the east side totally. There are no executive courses east of Morse between 466 and 466a. Not necessarily a deal killer for east of Morse, but a bit less convenient to get to. Also, Just south of 466a there are three more executive courses on the west side of Buena Vista, and four just to the east of Morse. Now, if you are not a golfer or luke warm about the game this all means nothing to you. Also if you want a new home, this means nothing as there are no new homes available in the area described. However, if golf is a big deal as it is to me and many others, the villages close to 466a, are far more convenient than some others. The area described is also convenient to shopping. All villages have their advantages and disadvantages, and all are very desirable for many people, but if exec golf is a priority take a look at the map and you'll see what I mean.
