The patio and courtyard villas are all very similar: Open the front door into the dining or living room, kind of a wide hallway / shotgun through the living space to the lanai out back (CYV) or the back wall / bedrooms (PVs).
Compare that to the cottages and villas in Latitude Margaritaville with more variety and a better layout. I wish The Villages would incorporate some of these soaring features and floor plans instead of the very cookie-cutter model we have available to us now.
I find the amenities and d@mn near everything else better at The Villages, but the floorpans? Meh. Boring.
This link is to one of their cottages, the "Dreamsicle" I believe:

I went to school in Daytona Beach. Lived there five years. I’m not sure you would like it, geared toward the spring breaker. And the crowds during speed weeks are huge.
I don’t think anyone has ever said you get more bang for your buck in a TV house, it’s the lifestyle. That’s become cliché but it’s true.
