In the Sunnyvale neighborhood, Pulte Homes features The Davenport model. The Davenport is a 2,650 square foot, two-story home, with a large second-floor master suite, spectacular covered lanai, four bedrooms, two and one-half bathrooms.

Taylor Morrison created two model homes in the Maraval neighborhood.  The Maraval neighborhood is conveniently located close to the amenities center as well as The Esplanade, a stunning, two-mile-long, tree-lined linear park ideal for walking and jogging; making this area also a desirable neighborhood to call home.  The Fairfield is a 1,744 square foot home with two bedrooms, two baths and a den that can be turned into a third bedroom. In addition to being a great starter home, this model also makes a fantastic vacation home.  The 2,450-square-foot Pinehurst is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom furnished model home which includes an optional bonus room and fourth bedroom.

Whichever model you choose, Sandoval is the perfect place to call home.  The community center has four lighted tennis courts, fitness center, basketball court, and much more; there is something for everyone.  One of the highlights of the Sandoval community is the 7,500 gallon swimming pool complete with a 100-foot-long water slide, The Chute.  The Chute twists and turns residents through tropical plants and blossoming flowers before depositing them into a refreshing pool.  Close by is Shipwreck Cove, a large splash area for children.

With all the fun and excitement Sandoval offers, why not make it your next home?

While most of the country is still in a cold, snowy, deep freeze; Sandoval residents enjoy basking in the warm Florida sun.  This is definitely the case for Lee and Bob Gerger; these retired Rochester, New York, natives purchased their villa in 2006 after viewing all the activities and amenities that Sandoval offers.

The Gergers take advantage of the various social events and activities; the couple plays bocce with other residents, but they also have different interests.  While her husband Bob participates in a golf league, Lee plays mah jongg and Gameopoly, “There’s something going on every day,” says Lee Gerger. “You feel like you’re on vacation all the time.”

With its 7,500 gallon lagoon swimming pool, Sandoval provides the perfect year round or second home.  Not only do residents escape frigid temperatures, but they also are relieved of monotonous tasks, like lawn mowing.  The Gerger’s friends and family are also impressed with the community when they visit.

Gerger says, “They’re definitely jealous.  When they call us here, they say ‘Don’t tell me what the pool temperature is today!’”

Sandoval makes the perfect place to retire or to raise a family.   We love Florida, especially this area; we really like the Sandoval community. It’s not just older folks. You see children, there’s a dog park. We really enjoy it.”

Russ and Angela Morris have much to celebrate; they have three wonderful children and are now the 700th homebuyer within the Bonita Bay Group Sandoval community. 

Morris says, “We’d never lived in a gated community, but we heard such good things about Sandoval, about how family oriented it was, so we decided to try it. We weren’t sure we’d like it. But once we’d been here a week, we decided we could never live anywhere else. You get spoiled so quickly.”

Sandoval prides itself on being a multi-generational community with many activities and events for both children and adults. Angela Morris says that both she and her husband have many friends within the community with whom they get together on weekends. A major focal point of the Sandoval community is the 7,500-square-foot Lagoon Pool.  This water wonderland not only has a children’s splash and play area, but also a 100-foot waterslide. 

“There are so many fun activities for the kids; the pool is great and each street has a cul-de-sac so the kids can play there. They’ll play at our house for an hour then go to someone else’s house for an hour,” says Morris.

The Morris family is in love with their new Davenport model, a 3,474 square-feet home.  With its four bedroom plan, there is plenty of room and every member of the household couldn’t be more thrilled.
