However, before we make the retirement plunge we want to feel 100% confident in our decision. Have other people checked out other popular retirement communities in Florida? We plan to look at: Solavita in Orlando, Lake Wood Ranch Sarasota, and Margaritaville in Daytona Beach.

We had a lifestyle visit planned in TV last spring, but had to cancel due to COVID. We will try again soon!
Hi. I would not recommend anywhere near Orlando. Unless you like a lot of traffic. We lived in St Cloud first and it was between orlando and kississimee. Way different world then living here. We checked out margaritaville in Daytona. They only have one restaurant one stage and at that time only had entertainment on weekends. You have more options in the villages and more to do. Orlando place is way more expensive and Daytona Beach are is getting kinda bad with crime. Good Luvk
