I am sure, because it is a cottage, that you might not get to choose some of the more high end finishes (ie granite, wood floors) but it did seem very nice.
My sales rep sent me a copy of the floor plans for all three new units. I have been trying to compare them to other homes and have nothing to compare as yet.

From the plans I can give you some of the measurements that they have listed. I wish I had a scanner and I would scan the plans and post them.

The Hammock
Master bedroom is aprox 16'-11" x 13'-4"
Bedroom 2 is aprox 10'-4" x 12'-2"
Bedroom 3 is aprox 10'-5" x 10'-9"
Living room is aprox 19'-4" x 17'-1"
Dining area is aprox 9'-8" x 9'-6"
Kitchen is aprox 9'-5" x 17'-7"
Lanai is aprox 19'-8" x 12'-0"
Garage is aprox 19'-4" x 19'-10"

On the floor plan that was sent the layout is basically a left half and right half of the home for talking purposes. On the right you have the living room, kitchen / dining and the lanai. On the left you have the garage, three bedrooms, 2 baths laundry room and closets.

Going through the front door you have a foyer with closet and off to the right is the living room. This is a wide open area all the way back to the kitchen and dining area. Master bedroom has a walk in closet. Other bed rooms have standard wall closets (br 3 closet looks to be larger than br 2).

I don't think the golf cart garage is included in the shown prices but can be added if the lot you pick is large enough. No golf cart garage is shown on any of the three plans that I was sent. It would be nice to see what the golf cart garage would do to the overall layout of the home. By this I mean would it be only the length of the garage or shorter or would it be equivalent to a kick out the length of the home.

From my sales rep's e-mail:

All three of these new models come with at least a 2 car garage. A golf car garage can be added if the home site is at least 70 feet wide. A typical home site is 60 feet wide. If you are building your home from the model center then you have options as to what you put in the home, including fans, washer/dryer, window treatments, type of front door, shower enclosure, and enhanced lighting package. The interior and exterior package that is chosen as well as the home site will determine the price. The models currently range from $159,600…the Pearl, to $177,000…the Hammock, to $174,700 for the SeaBreeze.

Hope that helps.
