Rule no. 1: lanai should face East or North. Ours is screened and East facing. It gets hot in late morning but is shaded by the house the rest of the day. Great sunrises and cooler in the evening. Look for a house with a Florida room and a lanai. The dog loves the morning sun on the lanai. A West or South facing lanai can be almost unusable in the afternoon and evening. If in doubt try sitting there for a half an hour.
