I'd imagine because ive got nothing to compare it to, then I honestly wouldn't know the difference.
I was told when looking at a villa once and speaking to the owner directly, that the crime area is really minimal in these areas and apparently I Drive is a whole lot worse. That really surprised me, as I always thought the little bubble and the fact its highly patrolled would make it better, but apparently not. Has anyone else found this? |

Given staff can access safes quite easily in hotels and maids leave room doors ajar when servicing them I don't see them as secure at all.
On the gated community side most fast food delivery people and mail couriers know the entry codes so that's not as secure as you think. Edited at 03:49 PM. |

That's what has always concerned us when staying in hotels on I Drive.
Maybe we have just been lucky, but I have heard some rumours of maids leaving doors open and giving thieves opportunities to walk in. They say when we have asked staff on site about our concerns that they would never do that because it wouldn't be worth their jobs and they can get immediate jail for doing so, but I wouldn't be surprised if it would stop them. What leg do you have to stand on should something go missing while you are out at parks and how do you prove it, should something happen one day? |

Who lives in a gated community here? I haven’t ever felt unsafe or at risk of crime in Florida. Stay in tourist areas, be sensible with your cash, valuables and just use the alarm systems on the villas.

I think in the OP's defence, when you look at photos of villas, most have the rectangle 'lead lighting' effect to the front windows which could be mistaken for bars if you haven't stayed in a villa before. With regard to crime, we owned for 11 years on a non gated community and didn't have an alarm system, we never felt unsafe and our villa was never the victim of crime. Unfortunately crime can happen anywhere and it's always best to be mindful and not leave valuables out on display wherever you are. Regards, Kate

Looking at Pamela's villa gallery I think they are vertical blinds.
