This was such a relaxing stay. We enjoyed our month here. This spacious two-bedroom was very comfortable. We are not particularly into golfing, pickleball, or other sports activities, but there are many wonderful options in The Villages. I highly recommend this location.

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.

So many activities

There were 10 pickle ball courts at Mulberry Grove which is about 5 minutes from the house. The people are very friendly. The courts on the left are for intermediate players courts on the right advanced. They start early and go to about noon. There are many other places to play. They give lessons but you have to sign up 6 days ahead of time. I don't play golf but my sister does. She came down for a week. It was the height of the season and very hard to get tee times. You make a request for a reservation 6 days ahead of time. You can call the day you want to play but the tee times were really late around 5PM. There were place to play outside of the Villages that were reasonable, There were so many activities. I tried archery and fencing both were a lot of fun. The local paper is delivered daily that give you the activities for the day. The Thursday edition gives you the activities fro the week. The neighbors were very friendly and the neighborhood is very quiet. There is entertainment at the 3 squares every night from 5-9PM. Happy hour (2 for 1) is 5-6PM. The only thing missing was a nearby beach.

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?

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!!
