We were really impressed with the place when we visited Aunt Gloria. It was built over a number of years so there is a wide variety of styles of homes and price points, from townhomes, to twins, and single family homes. The golf course is really nice, but the recreation center blew us away! So many activities, including an indoor pool and all kinds of rooms for special activities. What's nice is that there are enough people there to be able to sustain these activities - even the model railroading room and the country line dancing. I know she loved the bus trips that were always heading out to see the world. The last thing you want to feel is that you are cut off from the rest of the world as if you were in some kind of nursing home.I kind of like this place for myself...but I have 10+ years till I can retire.
<snip> I know people say they haveall those friends at timeshares, but I would call them acquaintances. You are very independent Linda, but I wouldn't enjoy spending my winters alone at a timeshare.
I hope to meet you both someday....Hope to meet you some day Linda
I would show you our community when you are down hereI hope to meet you both someday....
Not an expert but golden gate and east Naples on news a lot, and not in a good way. One thing to watch in mobile home communities is if they own the land or rent it. I saw one park has $800 a month lot fee plus they pay their own utilities. Sounds like a mortgage payment to me.

I don't know it, but the lot rental will eat up your money. So the lower price per month sounds good. I see on map it is on way to Marco island, pretty far south.
Rapmarks, thanks glad to hear that this is a good location... What is the pewter mug? Is it a place?Okay, that is a different location and I like that location a lot. It is near the pewter mug off of 41 north of imokolee
Oh wow, this location is sounding better and better...thanks for the infoA restaurant, also copper oaks winery nearby
We have arrived. Today we are just exploring on our own and the next 3 days will be filled to the brim with viewings the realtor set up to show her homes in the communities she liked from the links he gave her. I’m loving the 70 degrees weather vs the snow/slush and 12 degrees weather I left behindWhen are you down here yet?

Thanks, I will keep those places in mindEnjoy a meal at the Watermark, Mr. Big Fish and Cafe Luna for us. They are our favorite places to eat when we are in Naples. The Mercado is also fun to wander around, eat and drink at too.
Jan, we just tried to get into Watermark as it’s across the street from the place that is my aunts favorite so far and it does not open till 4:00. Guess where we are going at 4:00.

Try the chicken liver appetizer. Chicken livers are one the very, very few things I would have sworn I would never, ever willingly eat once I grew up and left home unless I was facing starvation. My Dad always said to give things a chance as your taste buds change as you age so keeping that in mind I let myself be persuaded to try one at the Watermark. They were delicious and we now order that appetizer every time we go there. However I still wouldn't eat them anywhere else!
If you go to Mr. Big Fish's website and sign up you will get a free bowl of chowder. I think the coupon is good for everyone in your party. The chowder is great and we love their fish tacos too. They have good lunch specials. The last time we were there was for dinner on the Saturday before Christmas on our way home from a week at the Lighthouse Resort on Sanibel. The special was a lobster tail dinner for $22 and it was delicious. The food is always excellent and the seafood very fresh.
Cafe Luna has some great specials too and also has a website that you can check them out.
