When I arrived in January to check out TV and look for possible lots to build, I told my sales rep that I WANTED the lanai to face west. She told me I had just ruled out 75% of the lots she was going to show me - yep....north, south, east and.......

For me.........there is nothing better than seeing the sunset........preferably over water. I never in a million years thought I would get "my dream-come-true" homesite in Florida, no less TV..........but my sales rep showed me a lot site.....facing west...on a little lake. That was IT! Within 24 hours of arriving in TV, the deal was sealed.

I have the same situation here up north.........and yes, it does get hot in the afternoon. My west-facing sunroom here is my favorite room in this home. The sunsets are awesome! I do plan to eventually have that lanai in TV enclosed and air conditioned............so I can see those wonderful beautiful sunsets no matter how hot it gets.

So.......there are different strokes for different folks.......and some really do want their lanai to face west. Bring on those gorgeous sunsets in TV!
