We bought a Valparaiso Model in Tamarind Grove about a year ago. Plan to retire in summer of 2014. We are currently renting the villa for the high months and spending as much time as we can there for the rest of the year. We looked at all the other models and decided on the CYV because it had the best combination of privacy, ease of maintenance and value. The longest time we have been there is a month, but we found it to be more than enough room, even when we have overnight guests. We are looking forward to the day we can become full-timers. It will require some downsizing of furniture and "stuff", but I would rather downsize on my own terms rather than being forced to downsize due to health or age. Up North we have a large house and lot, and I am more than ready to give up the maintenance and headaches of a large home.
