Sunset Shores is a small 55+ / age-restricted (HOPA) resident-owned cooperative manufactured-home and RV community at 1000 South Clinch Lake Boulevard in Frostproof, on the south shore of Lake Clinch in southern Polk County (community guides and listing records, 2026). It sits on the Lake Wales Ridge just east of US 27, between Lake Clinch and Lake Reedy.
The community was formerly known as Sugar Sands and became a resident-owned cooperative in 2008, which lets residents become part-owners in the park (community history, 2026). Because it is a co-op, buyers are generally purchasing a share in the cooperative along with a home, rather than fee-simple land, so confirm the exact ownership structure, the share, and the monthly fee for any specific listing.
Because this is one small community of individually owned manufactured homes, the money is made or lost on the co-op and the home, not on the address. The drivers are the monthly co-op fee and what it covers, the age and condition of the specific manufactured home, the roof and systems, the lake setting, and any community rules, all of which have to be read from the current co-op documents and a real inspection of the unit.
The pitch is a quiet, lakeside lifestyle on Lake Clinch, a large lake known for fishing and boating, with a clubhouse and planned community activities. Frostproof sits on US 27 with Lake Wales to the north and Sebring to the south. The work is the diligence: read the co-op documents, confirm the fee, inspect the home, and check the flood and lake-access picture before you buy the view.
