I would appreciate any suggestions as to what I should ask when we meet with the staff.

Rent a home for a month, to get a feel for the house prior to any purchases.

Then start going through advertisements of new and used homes on the villages web sites to see what houses have and how they are designed or furnished, etc.

brain reprogramming reminder

You are coming from an area of the country with a traditional colonial design "look and feel"

You are heading to an area of the country which is hot, very sandy/beachy, and flat. This area does not have the same "look and feel"

So beware that bringing traditional look and feel might be comforting, but also out of place for the area. .

good luck. .
