About this property

FREE Golf Cart! Fabulous Location! Classy Decor! Pet-friendly!

Nestled in the heart of the sought-after Winifred Village, this exquisitely adorned home offers an unparalleled experience in The Villages. Set within proximity to the renowned Lake Sumter Landing (that lighthouse that shows up in all the photos of The Villages) and the iconic Polo Field, this haven is a mere 5-minute golf cart ride away from these hotspots.

With Winifred Village's backyard bordering the esteemed Arnold Palmer Golf and Country Club, this location is a golfer's paradise. Adding to the allure, a delightful pool beckons just a 5-minute stroll on foot or a swift 1-minute ride in the cart!

Giving my guests a 5-star experience is my passion!

Beautiful Place!!!

Our 2 week getaway was top notch!! The house was beautiful and very clean. Had everything you could think of for appliances in the kitchen. The owner sent us links to videos on how certain things worked, for instance the TV, the golf cart, etc.This was the best!! Communications and response time with the owner was top notch!! Plus, we had use of the golf cart. We had such a wonderful time and I give credit to the owner for that!! All of this for a great price!! Thank you so much!

Birthday trip

This was a very nice property. The home is very clean and well maintained. The golf cart is also an added bonus for getting around in. The host provided guest passes to the pool and something else, but honestly I did t have time to take advantage of it all.

So Comfortable it feels like "Your Home Away from Home"

Brad was an excellent host, and really communicated perfectly. The house is extremely clean, very comfortable, and highly detailed with decorations. It was great and I wouldn't change a thing. The four person golf cart was a great BIG plus. I would not hesitate and look forward to visiting again. Thanks, Bob S.

Everything as described

Nice quiet neighborhood & comfy beds! We stayed here because of the convenience of the location. My husband had surgery and this place was only 11 min away. It was nice to have things to do with my 5 year old while he was under to keep our minds busy. The golf cart was fun and so was the pool. We had to go to a different pool though because the one closest to the house is adults only. We had to find a family pool. Lots of food options nearby.

May Getaway

The house was very nice and we truly enjoyed our stay. Although we encountered some small issues, they were handled promptly by the owner. We couldn't have a thsked for a more gracious host than Brad. The proximity of the house to Lake Sumner Landing was OK, making it a convenient spot for our activities. The kitchen was fully equipped, and all we needed were groceries to feel right at home. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and we highly recommend this property.

Host Extraordinaire

Brad was/is the best host that I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. He is so accommodating. The house and the location is perfect for adults who just want to get away. The Villages is a great place for a mini-vacation. I highly recommend it and if you go make sure that this is the place you stay.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

The house is beautifully decorated and in the 10 years I have been visiting The Villages, I had no doubt that it is located in one of the best areas (Winifred Village). The famous Lake Sumter Landing (that lighthouse that shows up in all the photos of The Villages) is 5 minutes away via golf cart as is the famous Polo Field.

Winifred´s back yard is the famous Arnold Palmer Golf and Country club.

Plus the pool is 5 minutes away by foot or 1 minute in the cart!
