Yes, the ideal situation is to be on a lake with the golf course across the lake and the cart path on the other side of the green/fairway from you. There are homes like that, but they will carry a premium price.

We came from the oft mentioned east facing lanai, unbearably hot. Scratch that idea. In addition to insulation the coolest lanai’s have screening on 3 sides. 2 sides are most common and some models only 1. You need cross ventilation to push out the accumulated hot air.
