I was also told that no more than 25% in the smaller villas can be leased out. It was recommended that I look at a cottage instead. Do any of you live in villas? Is it "difficult" in any way to live there because people in the villas near you are transient? I will be living by myself, but I suspect that my family will want to visit me more there because it's TV in Florida instead of Kansas City. Any home-buying suggestions are welcome also.

I live in a Courtyard Villa and couldn't be happier. Yes, we have some snowbirds and renters, but the core of our residents are very happy and very cohesive. You won't regret buying a CYV. I think the agent is trying to up-sell you.
