Hi all -
My name is Bob, I'm from Massachusetts and am thinking about what I'm going to do in a few years.
My wife just came back from visiting with a friend in "Yhe Villages" in Florida - and she's in love with it.
I'm aving some problems witht eh Villages - It is so far from the water - I have a small (27 foot) sailboat sailboat on a mooring here in our local harbor, and I love the ocean. I'd actually buy a larger one - probably in the mid 40 foot range - when I retire because I want to be frequently in the West Indies, and the 27 footer is not really rigged for open ocean sailing.
Anyway, the ocean/baot thing is a concern. Also concerned about HOA rules - I've heard so many nightmare stories about restrictive HOA - is there one at the Villages? I'm an active recreational shooter and occasional hunter - will I be able to bring my guns to the Villages? (I've heard that some HOAs prohibit firearms - and boats, and boat trailers, etc...)
I guess I'm just having potential buyer's remorse before it happens -
does anyone have any idea about restrictions at the Villages?
Thanks - looking forward to the next phase of my life - just want it to go correctly!
