    We own a 1400 sq ft. bedroom condo in Playa Flamingo that we rent out. Since Dec. 2012, our monthly bills have ranged anywhere between $550 and $887. We weren’t prepared for this financial hit! I don’t know if renters have the AC at full blast with balcony doors open or what! But the kilowatt usage is 4x as much as our usage in a single family home last August in the mid-Atlantic states. Any suggestions?:x

    I have heard that the development is not a stone’s throw from the beach and that the electricity is above ground. From looking at their website and how it mentions “oceanview”, I assumed it was very close to the beach – apparently the development is on the other side of whatever road goes along the coast there. (But I haven’t been there, so I can’t verify this.) I also heard that their security gate is chintzy. However their prices are very reasonable and this is certainly a draw!
