View Full Version : General Guidance on Communities of the 27
Hi all
Stayed at High Grove in 2009.
Not at all bothered about the theme parks and wanted to stay where I could avoid the 192.
The communities off the US27 seem nuymerosu so I am wondering whicgh to chose (OK I am not going to make the Harry Hill joke).
All we wnat is a spacious villa with an open perspectrive at the back and a community facility with pools, gym and possible internet access.
Am I being too picky?

Why not look at Glenbrook? Although our villa doesn't have an open outlook, others do. The resort ticks the other boxes. There are a few Glenbrook owners on here, if you have any other questions.
We love Calabay Parc ... namely one very special villa there, very private and overlooking a pine forest....lovely .... only 1 year 7 months and 5 days til we are back at King Louie's[msnwink]
Southern Dunes ticks all your boxes.
There are two community pools, a gym, tennis courts and wi fi. if not available in the villa, is available at the golf clubhouse, which also has a very good restaurant/bar.

High Grove LOL
Southern Dunes is also very close to Manny's
Highlands Reserve is very nice and quiet.
We stayed in a villa there last year and liked it so much we have booked to go again to the same villa in 3 weeks time!

Another vote for Highlands Reserve. We are getting ready for our second visit. The development is quiet and well maintained with views out onto the golf course (none of us are golfers, by the way). Love the proximity to the shops as Father said, and also love the new Target, Olive Garden at the end of 192 (don't have to fight traffic for my favorites!)

Another vote for Glenbrook, very clean, well maintained, Walmart, Sweetbay, Chillis, Santa Fe, in fact very easy to get anywhere.[8D]
Glenbrook has everything you asked for
Very quiet with all the amenities near by

We stayed at Silver Creek which is a mile north of the 192 junction.

I like the idea of Southern Dunes mostly because I could walk to food and shops..
Nigel hi
There are 'reports' on this site for all the communities, which you can peruse.
We all will push our own of course!

Hampton Lakes is a great community on the 27. It has good community facilities with childrens playareas, volley ball and tennis courts.
Some villas (like ours) have a tranquil lake view from the pool area. We looked at all communities before we settled on Hampton Lakes to buy our villa.

Sorry about the previous post, I suffer from fat finger syndrome.
Nigel, I meant to ask how you find High Grove. We are staying there in August and I understand its a quite a small community mainly rentals. Did you use the clubhouse and community pool at all?
And more importantly, especially after a hard slog at the parks, did you visit the pub on the corner!!

we stayed in Florida pines twice and it was a lovely place to stay.. but have had a nostalgic drive round to show other family members who werent with us on those trips and was a little disappointed to see how run down SOME of the area was compared the grass was dry on many homes and brown looked horrible, just seemed a little rundown to us, but that doesnt mean the inside of the homes are in this state, think it may have more residents living there then holiday homes???
