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 |
Latitude may be good for Beach lovers as that is a drawback of living in TV. But for golfers Latitude is a poor choice. Golf course (36 holes at LPGA Intl) is across the street but not golf cart accessible and when we asked last year were told no affiliation with Latitude so no discount or special membership. And obviously all the other activities in TV will be missing (softball, archery, WVB, exec golf) etc.
