We lucked out with the resale we bought.
We have a north-facing lanai with nothing behind us but a four-rail fence and wide open spaces.
We can eat breakfast on the lanai, but the summer sun intrudes by 9am. At lunchtime the sun is overhead but we can eat lunch out there if there is a breeze. By 4pm the sun is in the lanai again and it is hot out there. But by evening we've made our cocktails and taken our seats to watch the unobstructed sunset. I never realized Florida had such magnificent sunsets.
Our south-facing front porch is in the shade monring and evening so there is always a place to sit out of the sun, if you can take the heat and humidity.
Myself, mid-day I like my easy chair in the den looking out into the 'hood with the A/C and ceiling fan on.
And we get up at 6am, while it is still relatively cool, to go for a walk before breakfast.
Life is good, isn't it?
