We bought last March and will be snowbirds next October when both of us will be retired. We spend as much time there as our time off allows, and we love it more each time we're there.
We love our neighborhood in Amelia and our neighbors.
TV fits our active lifestyle perfectly. But as with anything in life, it's not for everyone. My SIL lives in Dell Webb/Stonecreek in Ocala and they like it. We visited them there and thought it was very boring.
But they thought TV was too busy. lol

There's a happy place for everyone, you just have to find it. Although some people really don't want to be happy.
There is no such thing as "too busy". You can stay as busy as you like or stay away from the activities if you prefer a quieter lifestyle. It is a choice everyone can make who decides to live here. Other retirement communities don't offer nearly as much so the opportunity is not there to be busy.
