We like being near the Weirs Beach area though. We are thinking about a weekly rental in South Down Shores, and I'd love to hear some of your opinions of the SDS community and/or their beach. I think we might lose some of that vacation feel that we have for Misty Harbor. I'm looking forward to reading some honest replies. thanks.

I guess that I am as qualified as any to speak on this subject.
We currently own in South Down and rented for several years prior. South Down Shores is a gated community and is much more private than some of the hotel resorts. It is about a 10 minute drive to the Weirs (try rollercoaster road...it is an experience).
South Down Shores has a large frontage that is shared between the beach, walking areas, the marina and a private beach owned by the Beach Club Association. The beach is small, private and extremely nice. The walking trails and lake views are amazing.
South Down Shores is comprised of condo associations and private homes. Each of the condo associations has their own facilities (in addition to the South Down Shores facilities). Our association has a private pool and tennis court.
My sense is that if you are looking for a facility with open spaces, views and nice facilities you will enjoy South Down Shores. The summer atmosphere is laid back and most of the homes/condos are not rentals, so it does not have the resort/hotel atmosphere.
