This gym and community offers a range of amenities for its members, including a gym and sauna. The gym has recently seen its equipment replaced, addressing previous concerns about broken machines. Beyond the fitness facilities, the community provides a heated resident and guest pool, which members describe as beautiful. The venue also features a clubhouse, auditorium, library, lounge, arts and crafts areas, billiards hall, woodworking shop, and card room. Recreational options include two designated pickleball courts, a par-3 nine-hole golf course, lighted shuffleboard, and tennis courts.

The community atmosphere receives mixed feedback from members. Many appreciate the great neighbors, the wide array of clubs and activities, and the social opportunities. The location is noted for its proximity to Vero Beach and Fort Pierce, as well as pleasant lake views. However, some members express significant concerns regarding management practices, including annual lot rent increases, perceived intimidation during home inspections, and strict enforcement of community rules. The maintenance of common areas, such as roads, has also been a point of contention. The community appears to cater primarily to a retirement-aged demographic, with some members noting an unwelcoming atmosphere for those who appear younger.
