    "Lots of people here have dogs here. But youโ€™ll want a fenced in yard for them. And thereโ€™s a nice dog park not far from here. Most of the people here are nice and accepting of dogs too. "
  • Beospan
    "Itโ€™s a laid back riverside community of backwoods locals, retirees, plus visitors coming to enjoy the river and gulf, including fishing, scalloping, and beautiful scenery, living in strained harmony. The locals were devastated by the state constitutional amendment banning gill-netting of mullet fish and never fully recovered. Drugs intervened, and continue to be a problem for natives. It is a golf-cart community, so one may get around legally in a cart, but a car is needed to access anything more than a mini-mart as far a shopping goes. There are many good local eateries, waterfront honkeytonks, bait shops and watercraft rental businesses. It is quiet, pleasant, and pretty peaceful. A gardenerโ€™s paradise."
  • Russ
    "We love the green belt concept here. Sugarmill Woods is a beautiful community! The homes are well kept, and it's a safe neighborhood."
  • Sarah H.
    "All of our neighbors mind their own business! That's something SPECIAL & IMPORTANT YET RARELY HAS BEEN THE CASE IN MY PAST."
  • Russ
    "lots of dog owners in my neighborhood seen waking them around the same times. seems like a good way for the neighbors to get together and chat while they are out."
