For just under 3 years, we were lucky enough to call Camp Venice home. Unfortunately, the owner sold the campground to the County and we must now vacate. We are headed back to the original resort we lived in when we 1st moved to Florida. Several things to point out on the plus side of this move....
The pool is amazing, clear and always open. You can have any beverage you want without a nazi shaking her stupid finger at you and talking to everyone like a dog. They will even sell beer in the office :)
The rent is cheaper for actual AMENITIES. Notice I spelled it correctly and I also pronounce it correctly. It is NOT amenTities. I don't know how many damn people here say it wrong, but it's so maddening.
Several of our snowbird friends will be joining us there and I truly couldn't be happier for that fact alone!!
Rambler's Rest is clean all around, I will not have to do my own landscaping, either. The water and/or electricity are stable and won't randomly shut off, forcing boil notices.
We won't be ON the river, but maybe 200 yards from it. Maybe, just maybe the skeeters and damn no-see-ums will give my poor body a break . We finally get to live near Cindy and John again!!!
All of my sweet friends in park models here, though.... They aren't going. They were forced to sell their homes for next to nothing and they are scattered around, with most being in the same area code. We will still have to get together for Happy Hours come Snowbird season. Can't miss out on those.
The most glorious part of all is that there will be nobody named Ann Moreland there to make everyone's life a living Hell. If the current owner has any thoughts or brains at all as a business man, he would do a quick survey and an internet search for both of his parks and take those reviews quite literally. He should also reach out to the employees that he had around last Christmas and inquire as to why he didn't get "thank you" from them for their supposed Christmas Bonus. Maybe he'll find out that Ann Moreland didn't actually give the bonus to them. Well, she DID, but it was to strictly to purchase the materials to fix her home that was damaged by last year's hurricanes. FEMA didn't assist her, as her home isn't even in her name. I guess she had to get it fixed somehow. Maybe she'll finally get busted for her insurance fraud claims on both of her cars, as well. Oh, and let us not forget to tell the owner that the new deck that was supposed to be done on the blue house at CV 3 years ago was actually "accidentally" done on the deck of her own house, without his knowledge. Karma hopefully hits her quick and harsh. God don't like ugly, Ann Moreland. One way or another, hopefully one day soon, you'll get everything in life that you deserve!! read more
