Charming 3/2 Virginia Trace Villa, next to Lake Sumter Landing, with golf cart
Note: The Master Bath is being gutted and replaced with a new modern bathroom as of this writing. As soon as it is done, I will update the pictures with the new bathroom and also new window dressings being put in no later than the end of July.
This Courtyard Villa has a beautiful large open kitchen. We can't even imagine how to fill all the cupboard space. The kitchen has a full length bar/pass-thru open to the dining and living area and an ample pantry off to the side. The overall house plan is open and inviting. Particularly if you are entertaining, you are always within ear and eye shot of your guests.
The floors were just recently done in a rich wood throughout with the main living areas and master bedroom. The lanai was also recently redone in a very nice tile. The guest bedrooms have comfortable wall-to-wall carpet.
The Master Bedroom has a king size sleigh bed and is furnished in natural wood colors while the Guest Bedroom has a queen size bed and is in an old world white style. The Third Bedroom has a Murphy bed (queen size) with a small office setup with desk and chair - the perfect spot to check your e-mail or scan the Internet.
The Master Bedroom has a large walk-in closet and also a flat screen LED TV with a built in DVD player for those evenings when you simply want to relax in bed and watch your favorite program or DVD. You can also step outside from the Master Bedroom through your private entrance onto the lanai for a breath of fresh air.
The Master Bath is being totally remodeled in June 2024 (wait for the updated pictures) but everything will be brand new including an open frameless glass entrance to the shower and all new accessories. The Guest Bath has a full size tub and shower.
The Guest bedroom and bathroom can be separated from the main living area by closing a pocket door.
The living space has an entry to the lanai and also a large flat panel TV and DVD player for your watching enjoyment. A variety of table games are also included.
The fully enclosed lanai is a great addition in that you can use it year-round. The floor-to-ceiling glass panes can slide closed to keep the rain out, or slide open to allow the fresh air in thru the screens.
Outside the lanai is a wonderful custom patio area which is perfect for that first cup of coffee, reading the newspaper, or even maybe privately working on your tan since the backyard of this Courtyard Villa is completely enclosed for privacy. Plus there is a propane gas grill for those you love to do a bit of 'grillin'.
The garage provides ample parking for your one car (needed only to come in and leave from your vacation) and a provided Yamaha 2-person Golf Cart (main mode of transportation while in The Villages).
Also included is of course free High Speed Wi-Fi Internet Service and free daily newspaper delivery (The Villages Daily Sun).

We stayed for my father's 80th birthday and the property was perfect! You could walk to town and the villa was very comfortable.

Love the place and Jeff is so accommodating. Any
The property is very comfortable and could not ask for a better location
Was fleeing from hurricane melton with some children whose parents are 1st responders and had to work the storm. Jeff the care taker allowed us to come a little early so we would not have to wait for check in time , I really appreciated his flexibility, says a lot about how they manage the property and the people your renting from. It was a very nice place stay would stay with them again
Great location as it is so close to everything. Jeff is a fine person to communicate with and attentive to renters needs. CYV is very adequate with everything needed for a fun stay. Home is somewhat dated, but comfortable and enjoyable.
Lovely three bedroom home, close to Lake Sumter Landing
Very nice, well equipped home. Property manager was very responsive. Definitely would stay here again, should we need accommodations in The Villages. 😊
The property's location is amazing. Walk to Lake Sumpter square, the golf cart was very handy. Jeff is great to work with and responds quickly to any of your needs.
I highly recommend this property. The friendliness of the owner, the quick response to any questions, cleanliness, and the location was second to none. The whole process was easy, zero stress and allowed us to concentrate on enjoying our vacation. If you want to stay in a great accommodations and be close to Sumpter Landing I highly recommend this property.
We had a great time visiting family in The Villages. This was our first time renting a house and it exceeded my expectations. We hope to be able to stay here again in the future. Thanks!

Super!!!
This is a really great place in an excellent location. Super clean and very well appointed. The owner is a careful and attentive landlord. Can’t wait to come back.
We have stayed in this home a few times. So close to everything! I love cable instead of all these other streaming chanels. Everything you need is in this hone. Feels like home! Jeff, the host is the best!
This is a great place to stay and Jeff and company had gone way beyond what was expected. The house is in great shape and very close to all the action in Lake Sumter Landing. The golf cart was a big bonus. All the instructions are what to do and where to go were greatly appreciated.
This is our second stay this month at this home. Clearly we love it! Location is perfect, close to everything. Home is very welcoming! Property Manager Jeff is the best!!! I try to find properties he manages.

Great rental for families
This house worked out so well for us. It's in a great location (we walked to Sumter Landing with the kids) and everything is enclosed, letting us let the kids wander out the back and side doors with no worries. Jeff made everything so easy by being so accessible...I highly recommend!
The house was comfortable and clean. The pool was not far and the downtown was close by. We cooked a meal one evening for six and the kitchen was set up with everything we needed. The owner was just a phone call away. Thank you for everything! We enjoyed our stay.

perfect
This home was perfect for my family of 4. Each of the kids had their own room and with 2 bathrooms we were able to all get ready in a timely fashion. The home is perfect for getting in and out to activities. Jeff is the perfect host. Highly recommend!
This was a great place for my mother and I to stay in the Villages. Close to everything at Lake Sumpter and the golf cart was perfect to get around the area. Plenty of dishes in the kitchen, towels, comfy bedrooms. The house was very roomy with a lot of space to spread out and relax. Great communication with Jeff and a really easy check-in and checkout process. I would highly recommend and look forward to a return visit in the future! Thank you!

Outstanding property!
We stayed in this house for a two week period. The house is spacious, very clean, well appointed with comfortable beds for a good nights sleep. It is also located very close to Lake Sumter landing which a very popular are for day and nighttime activities. Jeff, the owner/manager is very nice, with exceptional follow-up with communications. I would highly recommend this house to anyone visiting The Villages. It is a great value.

Holiday w/Family
The owner of this property was very pleasant and easy to work with. The home was clean and well maintained, with a nicely equipped kitchen and outdoor gas grill. The furnishings were attractive and comfortable. As described, it is very close to Lake Sumpter Landing with it's numerous shops and restaurants. My adult children were able to golf every day. I would definitely recommend this rental to a friend.

About the host
Hosted by Jeff and Judy McNiece
My Father-in-Law moved to The Villages 30+ years ago. Living nearby, we visited him often while our kids were growing up. It didn't take long before we knew we wanted to also retire there someday. My wife and I are professionals: Judy is a Speech/Language Therapist for 'special needs' children and I was a VP of Engineering until I retired in November 2016. We’re currently on our third home in The Villages and many friends and family have followed us here. Most of them use their Village property for investment and get-aways. As such, being retired “with nothing to do”, Judy and I manage their properties for them. Having been visiting for 30+ years and owning for 18+ years, living here permanently for 7+ years, we’ve pretty much seen it all and can answer most all questions as we absolutely love it here.
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location! Being able to take a 10 minute walk and be in the heart of all the Lake Sumter Landing activities is incredible. Being able to drive a car or golf cart to the same activities is nice, but having the option to walk is fantastic. Plus 5 minutes into the walk, you are at the Community Center with swimming, dog walk, horse shoes, and shuffleboard. Of course, all 30 Executive golf courses and 11 Championship courses only a short golf cart ride away is 'icing on the cake'.
What makes this property unique
if you enjoy a drink or two at the free music nightly at the Lake Sumter Landing town square, you can easily walk home. You don't need to worry about driving your car or golf cart and possible 'problems'. Or if you prefer to have a nightcap at home, you can go out into the back yard and still listen to the music coming from the square (not too loud though).
The lanai affords protection from the weather when needed or opening up the full height sliding glass panels to let the fresh air in through the full height screens. Of course, you can always step outside the lanai and enjoy the fresh outdoor on the custom back patio.
