I continue to be amazed by the people who want to be negative about the Villages but still chose to take part in what is offered. And before the negative comments roll in, I have been coming to the Villages since 1998 and have owned here for 8 years. Oh, and her reason for still coming here; she doesn't have those amenities where she chose to buy, even though she champions the lack of amenity fees she pays.

So in your world, anyone who has guests, family, do not belong here. Much less the developer who brings in thousands on lifestyle visits.
If you would like exclusivities, there are many privately owned golf communities that offer owner only in the club, and the courses. They can’t control any restaurants or shopping outside of their domain.
But it might be an area to look at. Our friends have a condo in Naples with just that exclusive rights. Selling for close to a million.
