My son and granddaughter might come once or twice a year. I have a feeling that I won't get many visitors as it has been my experience they say they will come but don't. If this is the more likely scenario, would I be better off with the 2 bdrm/ 1 bath as I am single?
Is the second bathroom mandatory if one is getting visitors?
I was also wondering if 2bdrm/1 bath have a harder time reselling as opposed to 2b/2b? I don't plan on having to resell and move but I'm sure my son will have to sell this home one day.
Any and all thoughts will be appreciated.

I don't believe a second bathroom is "mandatory". It's entirely up to you whether or not you want to share your bathroom should you purchase a 1 bathroom villa. We have a 2 bath villa and I can't imagine guests in my bathroom if we had to share! One bath villas do sell for a lot less than the 2 bath models, simply because there is not as much demand for them. As for how much longer it might take to sell the 1 bath home, perhaps not long. The lower price will appeal to certain buyers and many may feel they can get by with 1 bathroom. Last year our daughter visited with her three kids, ages 9-24. I just can't imagine 6 of us in a 1 bathroom villa! I think you have to think about your own situation and make the best decision you can, considering how much you want to spend and how much you want to share your bathroom! Good luck!
