We came in April of 2011 and paid $125 a night. At that time it was $150 for Jan - Mar, $125 for April - May and $100 for June and later. We were told stays had to be at least 4 days and no longer than 14 days, we stayed 7 days and saw pretty everything we needed to see. We looked at CYV's, Patio Villas and Cottages and ended up buying a masonry CYV in July 2011.

I've also heard that they are using the new villas off Buena Vista across from Evans Praire Country Club. Those are the nice looking multi-color villas similar to Mission Hills. I've been seeing some of those listed for sale. We were put up in a $400,000 cottage east of the sales office at Lake Sumter next to the Morse Bridge. There were only 48 of those built and I think they still use some for LSV's. I wouldn't consider them a cottage but that is what they are called, I believe they are in the Village of Bridgeport.

No matter where they put you, most days you will be out and about looking and exploring. You'll have a golf cart (a 14 mph model) and two bicycles. To see most things take your car, TV is about 35 square miles. Make sure you get a $5 map from the sales office.
