POOLSIDE AND LAGOON VIEW ... The Leamington section of Palmetto Dunes is one of the more sought after private residential communities on this great resort island. Privately separated from the resort portion of Palmetto Dunes, residents of this exclusive golf cart community enjoy their own Beach Club access and the wonderful amenity of an 11-mile lagoon system which offers wonderful boating, kayaking and canoeing. All the resort facilities of Leamington are nearby; yet, your privacy is assured by your own entrance gate both from the resort side and directly to Highway 278.
