We purchased a preowned and moving next month. On to our next adventure. We also thought about OTW and Trilogy but the monthly fees seemed high. Our villa fees will be about 270 per month but that includes all outside landscaping upkeep and irrigation and any new exterior painting and roof replacement as needed. They will go up another $20 when the Beach Club opens up. But no Bond and no yearly maintenance fee.
Here is a great article on the place. Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach Retirement Guide |
Sounds like the path we recently set out on. Liked Latitudes but not the 6-8 month build time frame. Trilogy is nice but somewhat isolated. We had been to OTOW previously and liked it and the area but did not commit. However this time we saw a spec home in the closeout of a neighborhood and fell in love with it. So now will be moving there in two weeks.
Amenity fee is about $100 more per month and with basic internet included so when compared to TV the difference is not that much. Looking forward to a new adventure.
