They have a try out visit program. Don't know the details now; but when we did it we stayed in a snowbird's home for a week. If you are considering the place you might want to take advantage of their program.
If memory serves the place was designed by the same people that designed one of the theme parks, like Universal Studios I think. Lots of developer subsidized activity. It will be interesting to see how all that works out as sections are turned over to homeowners.
Be sure you check out the climate. That part of Florida in the summer can be pretty hot and humid.
