Also, I'd be interested in all thoughts on backyard planning. I was trying to think "outside the box". I know about extending the lanai and adding a birdcage, but has anyone done or seen other things in the back yard? Also, is it possible to put a shed in the back, as long as it's not seen from the front of the villa? Could you possibly store your golf car in a shed, if you widened the gate?

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
There are several CYV for sale right now that have pools. We looked at a few when we bought ours. When we were looking it was mostly Woodlawns or Stoneybrroks that had a pool. I didn't like where the laundry was located in relation to the door from the house in the Woodlawn so that floor plan was out. Neither of us cared for the layout of the Stoneybrook so that was out too!

There was a Beauregard that had a pool and backed up to a golfcourse. The villa, pool and backyard was great. I had a shared driveway, so we passed on it. That villa has been on and off the market since before Christmas of 2009 when we first saw it!

We really didn't look much at new.
