We have the Austin which has a larger rectangular lanai. There are two sliding glass doors that open on the lanai. One from the dining area the other door at 90 degree opens into the master bedroom. The bedroom door is on the shoter side of the lanai and the dining room door is on the longer side of the lanai.
The bedroom slider is very nice in our view. Since it is on the shorter side it is over 20 feet from the other end of the screened lanai. The roof of the lanai screens the bedroom door from directly viewing into the bedroom. If you are sitting on the lanai you can see directly into the bedroom but that, to us, has not been objectional. We have vertical blinds that can close and block all view. We really enjoy having the hugh open door when we wake in the morning. It is nearly impossible to see into the bedroom from across the back yard. If a light is on in the room at night you can see in. At night if we need light we close the blinds.
BTW we are open blind type people. Hate to live in the dark as it feels like a cave. We don't do anything that needs to be hidden from view. Of course we do close blinds during certain activities like changing clothing etc...
