I stumbled into Florida's only Singles over 55 park.
Delightful place with many eccentric independent folks. About two thirds of the park is owned by stockholders (who have lots) and the other third is lots for rent only. Of course this being summer, many snow birds have their place closed up for the summer. A token few of the lots are annual rentals but the rest are kept open for transients.
I like this combination of permanent neighbors and transient campers.
It's an older park, well maintained with gorgeous ancient oak trees and lots of eclectic landscaping.
For all you couples reading this, they do allow couples to rent a spot for up to a month.
I fell in love with the place and bought stock and a lot. Now I have a home port for when I am tired of traveling. It's in a rural area, matter of fact, my lot backs up to a farm. I am able to ride my bicycle to the grocery store on the outskirts of the small charming town.
If you're in the area, stop by. If you want a winter reservation, better call right away. Summer and fall has plenty of open lots.
So far it's been a very peaceful stay. My lot came with an 8x10 shed with shelves, electricity and a work bench, plus my huge patio is paved. I was able to buy and assemble 7 dog pens into one gigantic play area for my 6 pound enthusiastic pooch. My neighbors are delightful. Some residents have moved around the park as different places came on the market. There are no two lots alike. Currently we have only 4 places for sale.
No fancy frills but more than enough to service my needs. People tend to be very helpful since most everyone is living solo.
