Any couples living in the "Nest" model patio villa? Care to share your thoughts? Or any photos of how you have creatively used the space to maximize efficiency. (We are a couple relocating to TV and we are minimalists and prefer small homes for cost savings.)

TV is more about the outdoors for us and the lifestyle. We really just want a cozy place to hang our hats.

When we purchased our PV there were not two models. Our kitchen was a great size had a pony counter and LR and dining was combined.

The big issue I would have is the garage. If you choose to own a golf cart, you will need to move your car every time you leave and return

No problem having a golf cart and car in Patio Villa 1 !/2 car garage. I do it and most neighbors do also. Had a designer before we downsized and love the PV.

What? No kitchen bar counter? Our Colony patio villa had a kitchen bar counter and it was our very first ever in any home of ours. I would not want any home at this point without one. This model is missing that feature.

Also....you will be jockying car and golf cart all the time. That is a royal PIA. I'm surprised The Villages has designed a home like this one.

The Nest patio villa does have the washer & dryer hookup in the house, that is much nicer than in the garage, which can get hot in the summer.
