I know what you are thinking OMG! So for example a long term rental of say 1000 has a community charge of 25% you do get to use some great facilities like the pool and the tennis courts for a very small fee and of course all that manicured greenery garbage and security. You may be used to a gated community and this rate may be normal. For a UK citizen it is a bit different. But here it is open to discussion and I welcome hearing your thoughts.
OK so more about our findings.
Great pool (when not overly chlorinated or busy or if it is a bit murky) where you can learn to dive or teach your child to swim, or just enjoy the kids enjoying the pool! Great Tennis facilities.
You will get charged to have a car in the grounds a fee of 10 dollars for your stay. Its annoying to pay again on top of the fees but I suppose its a reasonable amount. Still they make you jump through a little hoop to get it.
