Rented a home on Bailey Trl last May. We did that for the explicit reason of testing out a street lanai. It was directly across the street from the 1st/2nd hole on Cane. Beautiful view BUT way too noisy. And May is an OFF season. We couldn't even really watch a movie on the TV when we wanted to. During the day was OK but still there was a tremendous amount of foot traffic which provided no privacy either.

The first year we rented we had an interior lot with a 'kissing lanai'. NO GOOD.

Then we had the street lanai. NO GOOD.

This year we have a villa on a golf course. We are hoping this will help us make our decision.

Good luck with yours.
