1500 sq. ft. 3 bedroom/2 baths. I guess it comes with a golf cart. Near the Shallow Creek Golf course and apparently 15 minutes from Sawgrass ... like Sawgrass is a huge draw.

$7000/month for January or February?

Are people really paying that kind of money for rentals in the middle of nowhere?
When you break it down it really is not that bad the way most people rent here. 3 bedrooms which means the house will have at least 6 people in there all armed with guest passes (at least) that can use almost all the amenities for free. I don't know where else you can go in Florida for a month for about 2400 per couple and have access to all the amenities like there are here for 80 dollars a day per couple during the high season. In the meantime, owners who reside here or come down for the winter wait for use of amenities, restaurants etc.
