Our parents choose Fountain Lakes to enjoy the winter months because it so beautiful and spacious. Every home has a great view of the lake with a large fountain. There is plenty of lawn space as each building is well placed for lots of privacy. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and well taken care of. The pool with a linai is the favorite place for all family members. It also is only 10 minutes to the gulf coast beaches which are gorgeous! The white sand and warm, turquois water is the best place to be any time of year. The complex provides a small recreational golf course, tennis courts, a gym, playground shuffle board, and pool all free of charge! There are many activities for the whole family all within a mile from the house. A huge shopping center is across the street. Fort Meyer’s airport is a convenient 15 minutes away. Our parents enjoyed many winters here and now they are gone, we hope others will enjoy it as they did.
Some of our favorite memories were renting a pontoon boat with the whole family and taking on the salt marshes were we saw manatees up close as well as herons, pelicans and many other birds and wildlife. Exploring the everglades was amazing! The best part of each vacation was being at the house together and enjoying our own private pool. The children stayed in it from 8 am – 8 pm You can’t beat that!
