Jupiter FLA advice

So...posted earlier about spending next winter in sunny FLA - working and watching the waves instead of the blizzards while my wife plays with our daughter on the beach. Spent the last 2 weeks looking up and down both coasts but seem to be coming back to the Palm Springs and Jupiter area.
Found a great place on the water in Jupiter with fitness room, golf course and tennis courts. I know nothing of the area though - good call?

Jupiter is very nice. Back in my younger days, I camped out at a state Park just north of Jupiter, convenient to knocking about the parties of west Palm Beach and bicycling the area.

Jupiter is a great place to spend any amount of time. Make sure and try out a restaurant called Guanabanas.

Just booked our getaway! Ocean facing condo in a gated community. Owner sent me a video of how he works there - turns the TV towards the deck and works from there where I can look down to the pool and beach and check on my lovely wife and daughter. Going to be 3 months of heaven and can't believe I'm going to say this....I can't wait for next winter!!!
BTW - can I wear my rolex in Jupiter???

Jupiter is very nice, plus it is close to Palm Beach and other cool places to go around. Don't miss out on a couple days trip to St. Augustine.

I think that they have banned anyone from wearing a new Sub C LN in Jupiter so as long as you don't own one of those you should be all right.

Jupiter is the worlds richest zip code per capita. Jupiter Island is amazing Some residents include BillGates, Paul Allen, Tiger Woods, Greg Norman, Larry Ellison, and many more. Juno Beach is next to Jupiter. Hit up the Thursty Turtle. It's a blast. I worked at the Juno Beach Marine Life Center 2 summers doing sea turtle surveys and tagging. If you are a golfer hit up the World Golf Hall of Fame in St Augustine. There are tons of great courses around there too.
