Located in The Village of Virginia Trace, this palm-lined paradise offers easy access to many of Florida's wonders! Within an eight-minute walk experience all that Downtown Lake Sumter Landing has to offer and enjoy the radiant sun while golfing, hiking, swimming, shopping, dining, and tuning into live performances. A block away, indulge in invigorating dips at the community pool, or kick back and enjoy the home's enclosed yard, extended lanai, grill, pizza oven, and firepit.

Inside, memorable moments of family time are curated in the open-concept living room, dining area, and kitchen. Cuddle up on the oversized sofa while streaming your favorite TV shows and movies, or show off your culinary skills in the full kitchen. Cooking is made a breeze among the ample meal prep space and stainless steel appliances! Dining is just as easy at the breakfast bar, nook, formal dining table, or alfresco on the furnished lanai.

Indulge in yourself as you enter the walk-in shower off the primary bedroom. Or, sink onto the plush bedding in each bedroom for a restful nap. With tasteful decorations, high-quality linens, and central air-conditioning in each of the bedrooms, there will be no arguments over room selection. The additional seating room is perfect for the kid's weekend morning cartoons and movie nights. And the adults will enjoy the separate bar where fruity cocktails can be made up and enjoyed. A private washer/dryer and designated work desk round out the home's interior perks.

Beautiful home! We felt right at home. Plenty of space and very clean.
We visited my in-laws who live in the Villages. Our kids, their partners, my mom, aunt, uncles, all were visiting. This house was our central meeting place. It was a wonderful trip. We hope to rent this house again!

Home away from Home
The Gardenia House was warm, welcoming, and well appointed. We took full advantage of the shopping and entertainment just a stone’s throw away at Lake Sumter Landing. We look forward to staying there again in the Spring!

Outstanding
The owner of this home literally thought of everything. Added touches and even some nice surprises. The home is immaculate. Kitchen top notch. Beds all very comfortable. Outside space was wonderful. I only wished we had stayed long enough to use it. I have recommended it to family and friends and we hope to be back next year. The Villages itself is a wonderful experience!
