Has anyone done this? Was it relatively straightforward, or did it become a money pit? About how much did it cost? (I don't know if we're talking $7,500 or $17,500)
Any input from active/retired contractors is also appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have a friend who lives near Pennecamp and Swordfish, which is ten minutes south of Lake Sumter Landing and five minutes north of 466A. Her toilet is in a separate little room in her bathroom, with a sliding pocket door. These house do exist. Your agent may know where they are. That said, if there is room for that, installing it would be MUCH cheaper than messing with the plumbing. Even less expensive would be a “barn door” that can slide along an existing wall. Keep in mind where lighting and light switches are also ventilation fans. I prefer Panasonic Whisper-Quiet fans that expel about 130 cubic feet per minute.
Another option is agreeing that the guest room bath will be used for a toilet visit, and the master bath will be used for bathing and dressing.
