This is the one! We visited VL (old & new), CV, and FL-N. FL-AB is to the beach, has tons of group activities, and a wide choice on types of homes / floor plans, making it my clear winner. For retired military, the Mayport exchange, commissary, and base with golf course, bowling, and lots of other facilities is 5-minute drive away. The only unique thing about CV is that everything is in one building; it is very isolated, only close to Mayo. VL may appeal to someone who really wants to be in PVB, but it’s not close to anything except Sawgrass Village. I reserve judgement on FL-N, as it is only now just breaking ground. Nocatee is a unique place, but you have to like traffic and golf carts.
