About the host
Hosted by Joni Newkirk
I moved to The Villages in 2013 after visiting my parents here for years. Someday, I hope to retire and enjoy all there is to do, but right now, I live vicariously through my neighbors.
Why they chose this property
Investment/rental homes are a hobby. The five homes currently on VRBO - Mutterhaus, Ruhe Haus, Friedlich Haus, Glucklich Haus, and Villa Sonnenschein - are all lovingly cared for to both retain their value and provide a premium, "at home" experience for guests. If you think of anything during your stay that is missing, but would be great to have, let me know. Your feedback is extremely valuable.
What makes this property unique
Great villa in the Village of Collier, a sought-after location near Brownwood Square. Equal distance to Lake Sumter Landing as it is to the new section of The Villages currently under development. The four seat, gas golf car will allow you to explore with confidence and Resident passes will give you access to all the amenities afforded to residents of The Villages.
This house is close enough to Central Florida theme parks, but a great respite when you need some rest. And with many outdoor and indoor activities (golf, mini-golf, swimming, billiards, pickleball, tennis, bocce ball, dancing on the squares 365 days a year, dining, shopping and more) you can be as active or relaxed as you choose.
