I just purchased a Lily but we haven't lived in it yet. The deciding factor for us was the large 3rd bedroom in the front of the house which we will use as a living room/computer room. We will have family visiting for a week at a time when they come. The third bedroom (our living room) and guest room and bathroom will shut off so they have complete living quarters when we need time away from each other or in the case of my sons when they sleep in in the mornings and stay up very late or come in late. I felt like I would never use the bedrooms the other way except as maybe a computer room. I know we will use the living room if we have guests that want to talk versus watch the games, or for other reasons. The laundry room is also very big. The walk in closet is huge (we would never fill it with our clothes since we have lived in Florida 25 years and only have light weight clothes.) The Lily and Begonia (the new models) will fit on a small interior lot although the Lily has 2000 square feet. Our lanai is 26.5 ft x 12 or 13 feet. It is my understanding they are stretching them if the lot will hold it as they did ours. We basically have no back yard though. Hope this helps.
