Craig, we rented a 2-2 patio home with one car garage and separate golf cart garage (with small lanai in between) that was sufficient and livable but we did want more and at the time my stuff was in storage and the second car sat outside off to the side so the garage car could get out without moving the one sitting outside. I have seen used larger homes for sale with a two car stretched garage with the cart sitting in front of the two cars (doable but not real convenient).
Only you can answer your questions as to what is important to you as do you need two cars and do you need a golf cart or maybe have two golf carts? I like the outdoors and am sitting here in 42 degrees with the sun on my back (yes the lanai is important to me). We currently do not have a golf cart and we are living ok without it. You have been looking from a distance for a long time and I would suggest renting for at least a year (in your case) before pulling the trigger on owning. Renting on a long term one year lease is not a bad deal right now vs. short term.
Lastly, have you checked out any other retirement communities during your visit? There are others. Best of luck, now just pull the trigger!
