Our Master Bath is against the patio wall. Was thinking I could tap into the water line that goes to the toilet which is probably a 3’ straighten run to the outside right over the patio. Seems (relatively) simple. Would have to cut a chunk of wallboard from behind the toilet and push pipe out the wall then replace the wallboard. LOL sounds simple.

Anyone ever done this or similar or had it done? Current hose location is great if you want to wash a car but not much else.

You can probably do this, IMHO, be sure to use a good quality metal hose bib, and add the reverse flow valve (required by law, I believe). Make sure the hose bib is securely attached to the house and not being supported by the plastic pipe, one good hard twist or pull on the hose and you could have a flood.
Several neighbors just used a Y adapter, buried water pipe outside the house to the new location, and installed a suitable hose bib. This works well if you have grass or garden the whole way , but not if you have to cross walkway or drive way.
