We have a Begonia and love it. We did not have design options when we bought. Things I would suggest are golf cart garage, tile in the public areas, expanded lanai and expanded garage. The standard carpet is ok for the guest bedrooms but would suggest upgrading the master. We have the double sliding doors to the lanai.
Things we added after moving in are, stained glass entry roof with side lights, pull down stairs to attic, you will need the storage space. He careful if gets very hot up there. Crown moulding, additional landscaping, automatic attic vent fan. Painted all walls. Standard white is blah. Plantation shutters, shades in the lanai, blinds across the double sliders. Painted garage floor.
To the standard Begonia, the total cost for all the upgrades was about $15K. Take your time. We were in a hurry and probably could have saved some money. Be careful with the door knockers trying to sell all sorts of stuff.
