There is also a gas fired barbecue included in your rental fee although we would appreciate it if you cleaned it at the end of your stay for the next guest!. There are great views of the golf course from the pool area and a decent amount of shade for the hot summers. A number of British guests have asked which way the pool faces - it faces approx South East so we get full sun from early morning to late afternoon but BE WARNED! the sun is very hot and in the summer heat it is more important to have shade than sun!
The 24 hour Wal-Mart at the community entrance offers a huge range of food and other goods and is only a 2 minute drive or 10 minute walk away. There is a new Publix about 2 miles away which offers a wider range of food.
