Located one mile west of the Florida Turnpike & two miles west of I-95 on State Road #70 Okeechobee Road.
This park is run by the "Management Committee" who enforces VERY strict rules. However these rules only apply to if you are outside of the core (click) group. E.g. was reprimanded for talking on the cell at the pool at dusk with no one around; while the next day long term members were on cells. I spoke to the president about a member who would be in the pool with arms crossed on the coping (many times) staring at my fiancé who was quite uncomfortable, he just said he has been doing it for years (no problem). This is only a couple of examples, but could go on and on. This place has no heart or soul. My best advice is to stay away, quite nasty....
I’ve been a few times, and it was nice. Today however, I brought my wife who is modest with me. Found out that there are no bathing suits in the pool. Ok. No problem. The guy at the front desk came over and was so rude, that he made my wife cry. Then proceeded to keep coming over as we were packing up and still continued to talk and make my wife feel terrible. Never going back again.
I really enjoyed my stay for one night in this neighborhood. While it had many of the amenities that larger resorts have, this genuinely felt like being welcomed into someone's neighborhood for the stay. It is owned and operated by owners and volunteers and you can really see the pride in this place. Not only was it nice and clean, I think it would be fair to say it was meticulous. I never even spotted so much as a spider web. They have a lovely pool and hot tub, which is pleasantly surrounded by flowers and murals and palm trees. Like I mentioned the surrounding area, the ladies room and showers were all meticulous. When I was checking out they were decorating for Christmas and there was plenty of laughter and joy in the air. (As well as Christmas music being pumped they the speakers)
I really enjoyed the short while that a musician came and strummed a guitar near the pool. The American flag was waving behind him, and it made me smile and be extra grateful for our freedoms!
I will definitely return to this very friendly and helpful hot spot!
