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 feel sad for you that you don’t think the Courtyard villas have a nice layout. Just looking at the video, once you get by the god awful decor and colors I see that as very choppy and very small rooms. Our villa is slightly larger but 3 bedrooms which are larger than these. The layout front to back of ours is perfect, we open the door from the garage and we have a straight shot through the lanai. Maybe you like small and cramped but not for us, we are just fine here in the Villages.
