Westhaven

[Y]

Hi Stephen
Does that mean all the roads are completed as we have received details on a villa that looks as though there is an unmade road or something running behind the pool.
I have to say that the houses all look beautiful.

Yvonne,
No road runs behind the pools or back yards. If your talking about this pic, it's just the end of the garden and then it looks onto orange groves. However, I don't know how long they will be there for. This is the view from the back of my pool.

Thanks for your quick reply No that wasn't the picture I had seen. It was of a different villa and the area seemed to be covered in tarpaulin. However I think It is probably an older picture taken before the surrounding villas were built.
I do hope your orange groves stay for a long time[msnwink]

For some reason Yvonne, I don't think the area behind us will stay empty. As you well know, land is being bought & sold. However, we will enjoy what time we have with nothing behind us.[msnsmile]

Westhaven is a great place to stay. The Hamlets is higher up the hill, and so gets a good view.

We are on the Sanctuary and back on to a conservation lake. In the early years there was a forest on the other side of the lake, but now it has been razed, and more homes are going to be built - thankfull still a long way away from our pool.

Hi Chris,
The Hamlets is on the same road as ours, hence The Manors is at the top of the hill and the view is tremendous. I didn't realise how elevated West Haven is and certainly The Manors.

Back onto I4...I didn't catch on to the mileage connection and the exit numbers[msnembarrased], I've been cursing them the last few years, it all makes sense now thanks! Unfortunately all my maps are out of date now, I'll have to stock up next time.

So I guess it's quicker to get onto the 192 via I4 from Westhaven, unless you want to get right up the west end of 192 by hwy27 then? I can only think of Outback or TJ's ribshack that would warrant a visit up there. (and TJ's has gone downhill in recent years IMHO).

10 minutes from westhaven to 192?

We find West Haven an excellent location, as Macka rightly said it provides easy access to the 192 west via US27. As well as The Outback the area around 'Splendid China' has a very good Giadarno's Italian Restaurant, TGI Fridays, Carrabbas, Red Lobster, Chinese & Japanese restaurants and lots of outlet stores and shopping parades too.

For visiting the East end of the 192 there is also a short cut, by turning right out of West Haven, left onto Champions Gate Boulevard, rather than turning on to the I-4, drive straight on. This brings you out at Old Lake Wilson Road at the Junction of the 192 near The Black Angus.

Due to the development being on higher ground we are also able to see the fireworks from Disney MGM on a clear evening.

Wooooooo, the fireworks would be a bonus J&P,

I'm sooooo looking forward to West haven now.

Paul.
