We've come close to buying before, but could never pull the trigger due to concerns for carrying costs. We are about 5 years away from retiring and in August finally took the salesmen at their word that "you will be able to rent your home to cover carrying costs" and took the plunge. We are VERY happy that we finally bought and only regret that we have to wait many years to finally enjoy the lifestyle that has my brother in law smiling 24/7 from cheek to cheek. Looking forward to meeting some nice people in a couple of weeks.
Thanks

Here is a coincidence. We moved into Tamarind Grove in July 2011 in a new CYV at the time. Our next door neighbors, who were from Connecticut, had 7 years to retire at the time. We would see them every 3 months like clockwork, they would stay for a week and usually made some sort of improvement to their CYV. Last March they decided they wanted a bigger CYV, they listed their 2BR CYV and sold it in just two days. They bought a larger 3BR CYV in Sanibel and probably now have about 5 years to retirement. It's such a parallel story to yours that at first I thought you were my old neighbors. However, his name was not John but mine is.
