I would suggest that your lanai faces either east or north. This seems to be the most preferred direction by most Villagers. The sun is very brutal here in the summer. A south facing lanai will not get much use during those months. Although those with a pool don't mind facing south. I guess it keeps the water warmer for you.
Also make sure your not too close to the pickleball courts. They get lots of use and can drive you crazy with that sound. I saw one on the market for two years. I think that might have been the reason why.
