He says it's really nice there, but a bit different than here.
Each area (re: village) there has a different builder. Plus it's directly adjacent to Sarasota, so it's got more of a metro area feel.

Getting to the beautiful beach areas in Sarasota in the winter is a horribly long trek time wise. You have to go over one of a few draw bridges which are backed up forever. The snowbird population is unimaginable. I happily sacrifice the better weather for the rural feel. Lived on the coast in Clearwater area and owned a boat for 30 years but now in my 70s this is a much better option. Next stop "ashes"
