Funny that you would say that no one has ever avoided a home with a West facing lanai. When we met with our Villages sales agent last year and talked about our "must haves" and "don't wants" for our new house, the first "don't want" on our list was a West facing lanai. We have beautiful deck on our NY house, but it faces due West, and it is unusable in July and August. Even under the patio umbrella, it is so warm and bright that even reading out there is a chore on a sunny day. I can't imagine that Florida sun beating down on an enclosed lanai all afternoon. I can understand why people like it, especially in late afternoons, but it's just not for us.
