The CYV's were the first homes I checked out when I came down for my LSV. I have 2 smaller dogs who have always had a fenced yard to roam in. I still walk them several times per day, but in the morning and just before bed, I prefer to let them out! However, that being said, I disliked the cement/block wall in the back, and the yard was not particularly large. I also felt a bit cramped on the inside. If I were buying with the intention of only using the home during the winter months, it would be a no brainer. The CYV's are well thought out for comfort and low maintenence. But I expect to become a frog within 2 years of my build. So for the short term I will be down only during the cold months, but eventually I will be staying for the long haul. I felt the space would just not be quite what I wanted. So instead I opted for a golf coarse lot and will put the dogs on tie outs for just a few minutes in the early AM and late PM. Just my opinion, but I did definitely consider the villas! No matter where you end up in TV, I think you will enjoy it!
