Figure out what YOU want and feel is important. Internet should be crucial; so should a stocked kitchen and linens (know of one house that had 2 towels -- excuse me?). For some, it is location. For some, a golf cart is crucial (easy enough to rent one on your own, just make sure you reserve well in advance if renting in high season). Others, a bbq. Make your list and make sure the home you rent has it. For some, it is just a place to sleep at night (then go for cheapest rent you can find for a place that looks decent).
If you have some definite places in mind, send me a PM and I'll be happy to at least do a drive by and peek in the windows. I go pretty much from one end of TV to the other weekly.

That is an awesome idea! And an equally appreciated offer. I can't imagine that any of the owners would object to my having someone inspect the property and if they did, that would be an indicator in itself.
Thank you, so much, for doing this for me. There are two houses that I am particularly interested in. I will contact the owners and see what I can arrange or maybe I could get you their contact information so you could arrange for a time that would be convenient for you. Whichever you would prefer. If the location is too far out of your way (I'm not sure how large TV is) I suppose I could ask some of the other people I've met through the forums to do the same. I will send you a PM when I am able to get ahold of them. Again thank you.

PS. If anyone happens to know of someone selling their cart, or willing to rent it for a year - rather than going through the dealers - I would appreciate your letting me know. How much to they cost to rent monthly, usually?
