Comfortable, well stocked, and responsive host.

I rented for 6 weeks while looking for a home. The hosts were so generous with their help, and providing information that was very helpful. They even had the local paper delivered for me. If needed, I'd rent here again with no reservations.

Great place for enjoying The Villages

The property was very well kept and was stocked with everything you need to experience The Villages as if you had been living there for several years. The host was very accommodating and periodically checked in with you to make sure you were not having any problems and were fully enjoying your stay The property is located very near the northern boundary of The Villages and offers very convenient access to the major thoroughfares both inside and outside The Villages The nearby executive golf courses are fun, challenging and we're very easy to get onto, even on the weekends. There are also excellent practice facilities ( driving range, chipping green and putting green) that are 5 to 10 minutes away by golf cart.

Charming cottage allows taste of The Villages

This charming 2 bedroom, 2 bath cottage located in the mature, northern section of The Villages, is a perfect size for a couple to stay very comfortably and get a taste of village life. The two bedrooms are spacious, large closets allow to keep areas orderly, the living and kitchen areas are comfortable, and the lanai/Florida room allows you to experience the outdoors without bugs. The decor feels homey but not overdone. Russ was responsive and helpful if we had questions or concerns. An informative instruction manual covers most questions. Although the neighborhood is beautiful, safe, and quiet, it is close to the northern edge of the Villages. Travel times to the Spanish Springs and Sumpter Landing were about 15 mins by car, twice that by golf car. If you are a golfer, it is right around the corner from the Nancy Lopez Championship Golf Course and Country Club. Be sure to take the golf car out once or twice to get a feel for the golf car paths. It's a great experience and a way to meet people! Truck Owners Beware! They're not kidding when the listing says that larger trucks may not fit, both lengthwise and heightwise will be a tight fit in the garage. We have found this to be true of many homes in Florida. We're in a F-150 and it was a tight fit so we just parked in the driveway. If you are interested in the Villages, why stay for just a few days, when you can rent here for a month?

Great stay near everything.

Comfortable stay in a home that had everything. A manual and guide to nearby events. I loved that I had pots and pans to cook anything and even some necessities I hadn’t thought of. Very clean and the owner communicated with me well since I can’t use a remote even with a manual. Lol.

Awesome place to stay long term

From the moment I spoke to Russ (owner) before our 1 month stay, with a pet (very pet friendly) to when the month was over it was so easy and relaxing. Usually the pet friendly houses are very limited and I was so lucky to find this house. The house is so comfortable and spotless clean, The neighborhood and neighbors are so pleasant and welcoming. We actually wanted to extend our stay for another month but it was booked already. Yes we will definitely come back and I will contact Russ again to rent this home, Loved it!!

Nice stay near Nancy Lopez Country Club

This property was as advertised. It was clean and had all the essentials needed for a great stay in the villages. The house had lawn chairs and pool noodles in the garage which usually are lacking but nice to have in the villages. The owner was easy to reach but I really didn’t have any concerns while renting.

Wonderfully Comfortable & Clean Home, Lots of Amenities, Great Neighborhood

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. The home is very clean and well-appointed, both inside and outdoors. The kitchen is modern and has any appliance or cookware that you might need. The lanai is very large and comfortable and looks out onto a very spacious private corner lot; it's a wonderful place to relax when indoors. The backyard provides both shady and sunny places to sit and enjoy the Florida weather. The neighborhood is friendly and is very convenient for getting to the swimming pools, rec centers, dog parks and golf courses. The golf cart and toys (pickleball rackets, etc) made it possible to explore The Villages and take advantage of all of the recreation opportunities. We had a great experience at this home!

Clean, comfortable, just right

I was looking for someplace simple and quiet to stay for two weeks. This property was exactly as described and suited my needs perfectly. The owner was extremely prompt in responding to my inquiries through the website, and the instructions for entry to the property were easy and clear. The home had everything I needed, from ample linens to a well-equipped kitchen, as well as quality high speed internet. Prior to my arrival, the owner sent me a document with all of the details for the house, which was extremely helpful to have beforehand. I ended up not needing the golf cart, but it was nice to have it available. I could tell that the owner was very thoughtful to guests' needs, as everything was explained very well. Thank you for a lovely stay!
