I just returned yesterday from my trip to Perfect Drive Golf Villas. I am a baseball coach and every year we bring our team down for spring training and for the past two years we have stayed here at Perfect Drive. I couldn't have asked for a better week. With temps in the 80s and baseball on the horizen, I felt like I was going to Heaven, maybe I did.

I was staying in suite 9862 with two other coaches who accompanied me on the trip. In this suite, there were two separate bedrooms with two beds in each. Unfortuanately I had to share a room. We arrived at the villa on wednesday afternoon and all was well. After practicing with the squad and grabbing a bite to eat, we returned to our room. One thing was strange though, the back door to our room was open. Neither of us had been outside that door and having children of our own, we both would of noticed if the door had been open. I suppose that it could have just been ajar and blew open so neither of us paid much attention to it.

Thursday was another great day in sunny Florida. It was in the high 80s and we swept our double header. This was a great way to start the season. Came back went for a swim had dinner with the other coaches and called it a night. That night changed everything! Friday morning my other coach, we'll call him Utah, approached me in the room and said "I have to tell you something and you are not going to like it" He proceeded to tell me that last night around 2 AM, he got up to use the restroom. While in the restroom he "felt a presence behind him" At first he thought it was me messing with him but when he turned around he saw a male figure in a grey shirt. As a complete non believer in such things he was reluctant to tell me. As he was telling me this I was getting goosebumps because, pardon the expression, he looked like he had seen a ghost.

Friday was another great day of weather and baseball. Grabbed some food and called it a night. This time I had the run in with "Leland" as we now refer to him. I was in a deep sleep and at about 3AM I awoke and started yelling loudly. I am not sure what caused me to start yelling but I do not have a habit of doing this so I am not sure what caused it. Leland???

Saturday, again great day with the weather, baseball and food. Watched some basketball on TV and headed to be around 11. Once again, around 4 AM this night I awoke. I was in a deep sleep when all of a sudden I leapt out of bed. Far enough to land on my roommate's bed, a good 5 feet away. The only way I can describe why I woke up is to use the phrase from the movie "Top Gun", buzz the tower. I felt like something buzzed by my head and rubbed up against it. I could feel it and even more intense was the sound of it passing by.

All in all, I would say my trip to Florida was, pardon the pun, "eye opening". I couldn't have asked for anything better in terms of baseball, the weather and the memories. I just think that next year I will stay in another Villa, and let someone else experience "Leland" in Villa 9862. Other than "Leland" the rooms were amazing. Clean, spacious and very accomodating. Great views of the course with a nice pool and a hot tub. I highly reccommend Perfect Drive Villas. If anyone reading this has had a similar experience at Perfect Drive plese post. I would love to hear your story and compare.

Sincerely,
Coach

We booked this 2 bedroom, ground floor condo through TAN (unit 8316). It is a lock-out unit,but we had both sides, which made the condo feel spacious. The unit has 2 1/2 baths. The main side has a full kitchen, nice furniture (not typical rental type furniture), a big dining room table, a screened in porch that overlooks a grassy yard and a canal. The yard and canal are what separates you from the golf course....a pretty view. I would not book just the 1 bedroom side by itself as that kitchen only has a small fridge and a microwave and coffeemaker, and a tiny bistro table with 2 hard wooden chairs to sit on. The unit is in the Castle Pines area and the grounds are well maintained. The pool and hot tub are really big and very nice. The only down side to this 2 bedroom unit is that although the 2 bedrooms are quite large, there are 2 queen beds in each of them, which would be fine if you don't mind sharing a bedroom with another couple, friends, or kids. The living room area is kind of small, but was perfect for us (a couple). Four would also work in the unit but if 8 people occupied the 4 beds in there, it would be way too crowded in the living room. The washer and dryer (full size) are outside, only about 3 steps from the front door. This was a really nice condo and we'd stay there again.

I booked two rooms in this village thru orbitz.com and saw that the price was cheap considering it was supposed to be a nice location. When we got to the check in office the girl at the desk was clueless and had no idea what she was doing. While we waited for 15 minutes for her to register us she went ahead and took care of a customer that came after us. We originally booked two rooms and asked her if we could switch to a 2 bedroom be cause we
Have four children. This threw her off completely. She ended up giving us a room upstairs and placing our kids downstairs. First of all the rooms are tiny second of all there was no water in the upstairs room. Online it says there is a washer/dryer in the villa but it's located outside the room where u have to do the laundry in 95 degree weather. Usually I am not a complainer but this experience was terrible. We had to call to complain, took our luggage and 4 kids to the main office which is a five minute drive away. The young girl offered us an upgrade to a two bedroom. If it were traveling alone I would have gotten a refund and ran away as quickly as possible. This experience reminds me why you shouldn't go for something when it looks too good to be true.

We stayed at a 2 bedroom condo in the Perfect Drive Villas for a 3 day golf weekend among friends and were extremely pleased with the entire experience. The condo was up to date, in good condition, clean, had a large flat screen TV, new appliances, a nice screened porch, 3 bathrooms, a large walk in shower, and 2 entrances.

As it was mid June in Florida, we had almost the entire place to ourselves. I can imagine during peak season, the area in the villas can get extremely congested. For us though it was very quiet.

The only minor inconvenience was the check in as it was a 5 minute drive from the grounds. But, other than that, the whole experience was exactly what we needed.

As for those saying there is nothing to do in PSL, it is true that you cannot walk down the street to 5-10 different bars, restaurants, or clubs. But, like most of Florida, if you are willing to drive out to Stuart or Jensen Beach, there are plenty of fun spots. Its not Miami Beach for sure, but there was enough to do for 3 nights
