We did 2 lifestyle visits. The first time they put us up in a huge house at The Cottages at Lake Sumter Landing....they are not cottages and were so large that we were almost getting lost in it....the rooms were huge and echoed.....nice but not realistic for us. Did have wonderful dinners at various restaurants......no expense spared. The second time we requested a stay in a house in a real neighborhood, so that we could get a feel for what life would be like if we were to live here. And that clinched the deal. And no, we did not bring our checkbook. Impulse purchasing is not our forte. I remember when we put a down payment on a time share and it almost made us crazy until we got the refund.
And we have been here 5 years.
