I don't know anything about it. Do you have a link? Is it gonna be a high-rise next door to my house with people staring down at me in my private pool from their 20th floor balconies which would mean no more skinny dipping unless I want to go to jail?
Oh, the visual, the visual! :funn:

The pool reminds me of one that they had at Disney World in one of the resorts that we stayed at a couple of years ago. That one had a water slide coming out of it. Maybe they are trying to appeal to the younger crowds with younger children. My kids saw it and had a fit. They wanted to stay there even though we own our own home. I guess it is working.

It looks like a waterpark. At a Six Flags or something similar.

As a parent, all I am seeing are all the opportunities for my kids to split their heads open.
Oh, I hear that! :eek:
Of course, nothing slows us (or them) down. A year and a half ago, our 2-year-old managed to break his femur one week before we were due in Seagrove. So, baby in BODY CAST + 3 other kids, we rallied and went anyway. Poor guy wasn't allowed anywhere near the sand; talk about a frustrating beach trip!

OK- just reading this, and I'm thinking tranquilizers. How in the world did you do it?

:shock: Well, tranquilizers would've been a good idea, looking back... We just kind of grinned and bore it, honestly. Had 3 other kids looking forward to a week at the beach, hard to let a little thing like a sibling in a body cast cancel a trip, right? :eek: We just had to strap him to everything, not unlike using tie-downs to secure something! Strapped him into a carseat for the 12-hour drive, strapped him into a stroller for walks around SoWal, took turns hanging out inside with him while the rest of the crew went to the beach.
Ugh, come to think of it, I'm having nasty flashbacks... :sosad: Have to say, he attracted a lot of attention! That's how we came to spend so much time at the Cowgirl's place; it was within walking distance, and their takeout was easy on the nights we didn't want to brave restaurants.

"WILMA!...get Pebbles and let's take a dip in the rock pond!" said Fred.

Is this really necessary? What is the style of architecture for the common spaces? I guess I'll have to go over and see this...and will probably need to use my feet to get the car moving...I have like no gas and I keep forgetting to fill up when I get in the car (which luckily is not very often!)

This is the neighborhood with the huge Grotto pool.

Be interesting to hear what everyone thinks about this development. I don't see many postings on this one.

Thx.
That pool is going to be a doozie to sneak in to!

I can't wait! :clap_1:

although not the same subject as Cypress Breeze, what is the story on The Village at Blue Mountain Beach II or something like that? drove through there and saw the pool and went in a couple of houses with eclectic (kind term) design? its located next to Ventura Dunes on the north side of 30A.

They were tied up in bankruptcy or lawsuits for a couple of years, not sure which. Now they are off and running. Just another dense garden of Hardi board and metal roofs
