We have friends who've moved there this past summer. They decided on it due to the closeness to the ocean. Had NEVER checked out The Villages before their decision. It "might" work for them since the husband isn't an avid golfer and they like to do day-trips quite often etc.

We've never been there neither but have visited St. Augustine. My observations from living in FL is much of the weather happens either to the north or south of us. Many storms seem to occur (this meaning thunderstorms) happen on both coasts a lot more than here in Central Florida. With physical issues coming from aging etc. the pressure systems with these could be painful.

Ponte Verde has a promotional video much like T.V. has but in viewing it, I wasn't intrigued at all.
