Somebody is feeding you a line of bull. We absolutely, positively refused to buy a number of houses with west facing lanais. I was ready to fire my Villages sales rep. He kept showing us homes he wanted to sell, not homes that met our requirements, one of which was an east facing lanai. Several times I refused to get out of the car. Finally I told him we're done, lets go back to the office so we can get our car. That sales rep. no longer works for The Villages. He left that job less than a month after this incident. I don't know the reasons for his departure but good riddance.
We had owned a home with a west facing deck and patio and even in NY it was way too hot in the summer. We decided a long time ago that we'd never again buy a house with that orientation.
