Lanai for sure. Sitting in the middle of a third bedroom...well that is just to boring and nothing to watch. It would have privacy though.

lanai, definitely. Even when it's cool, can put on sweats and enjoy. And I love to snuggle up in a comfy throw on a cool evening, sit in my reading chair beside my reading lamp and read away. . . (with my glass of wine - or two)

We just enclosed our lanai with glass doors with screens and now it is a Florida room. We will use this room so much more than we did the lanai.

100% Lanai. Both for enjoyment and also resale value. Of course if you plan on this being the last home you ever buy, resale may not make a difference. I remember a home over near Cane Garden that was on the market forever and an extremely low price. It is one of the few homes I saw without a lanai.

To lanai or not to lanai
 

Well, I already have a 3rd bedroom so I do not need any more rooms. My dogs use the lanai more than we do and we are looking into enlarging it for them since they like laying out there a lot. I am not a big fan of the outdoors so if I had a choice of another room where I could put in a pool table or a lanai, the room would win out. :smiley:
