Great location and accommodations for a one month stay.
Jim and Dorinda were great hosts and we became friends almost immediately after arriving. Our friendship grew as we found to have so much in common. It was as if God directed us to their home. They did everything to make us feel at home. Including the repair of a beautiful park bench that sits in their back yard overlooking water and beautiful landscaping. This was a perfect place to sit every morning and watch the ducks while having my morning coffee. Thanks Dragons for your hospitality!

Nice space
I will start by saying how sweet and considerate Jim and Darinda are. I drove in on Christmas Eve, and was immediately greeted by Jim, who took me around and showed me how to use Roku TV. That was totally unexpected and appreciated. On Christmas day Darinda showed up with a huge plate of delicious food! Are you kidding me…How nice was that! They have a beautiful home, and a nice cozy space for renters. It is perfect for one or two people. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood. I have never slept so well, in a very comfortable bed. I would definitely come back…I highly recommend. Thanks, Jim and Darinda!

In-law apartment in a quality neighborhood.
The in-law apartment worked well for me. The landlords were amazingly accommodating and a delight to deal with throughout my stay. The place was immaculately clean. Use of a golf club was such a plus. The landlords actually parked their personal auto outside the garage to allow me to park my vehicle inside the closed garage for the entire length of my stay. That alone speaks volumes as to the degree these quality folks will go to facilitate your stay.

Perfect in The Villages
Wonderful, clean, comfortable space with good proximity to recreation and shopping. Check in process could have been better, host forgot to provide unit access code in writing. Caretaker in adjacent unit was able to provide access so disaster was averted. Otherwise, everything was great and I will definitely stay there again when visiting family in The Villages.

What a delight!!
My wife and I needed a place to stay for a couple weeks while waiting for our new home to close. We could not have picked a better place! The apartment was very clean, fully furnished and the service we received was exceptional. A perfect neighborhood for our nightly walks through the parks, all the amenities The Village has to offer, and even use of a golf cart and clubs. Darinda and Jim were such a delight to work with. We only talked to them on phone, text and email, but they feel like great friends. They were so caring and checked in often to be sure everything was perfect. It was! We will highly recommend staying at their wonderful place. Brad and Beth Dewey

the dragons did not breathe fire but were the best host/hostess you could imagine, having us over for dinner, taking us golfing, making sure we maximized our visit to the villages by giving us tips on where to go, using their golf cart & club pool/hot tub!

Great get- a-way. Wonderful hosts
Darinda and Jim were there to greet us on arrival and very helpful in telling us what was going on around us. The provided golf cart was so much fun. You can reach anything with it. There is so much to see and do in The Villages. And the pools were great! Highly recommend this destination! Wonderful hosts!!

About the host

Hosted by Darinda Dragon

Host profile image
My husband Jim and I recently retired here from owning "IN most popular wedding venue" - Avon Wedding and Event Barn, in IN.
I am a retired nurse and Jim, a retired Pharmaceutical Rep from Phizer. We have 7 children and 28 (I think, I am losing track, ha!) grandchildren!!.
As soon as we saw this home, we loved the idea of hosting guests. I feel I have a God-given gift of hospitality and we both love people. We want to make your visit a pleasure!
We love The Villages "lifestyle"! We keep busy daily with golfing, swimming, pickleball and socializing with our friends.
You will love it too!

Why they chose this property

Our main consideration for buying here was our relaxing, private backyard. We love to walk over to the ponds of Glenview and sit and relax. We have quiet, friendly neighbors. And I love the floor plan of our home

What makes this property unique

We are kind of centrally located between Sumter Landing and Spanish Springs Town Centers. Shopping and eating places are within minutes away. This is the more established area of The Villages, so probably about anything you need/want is nearby.
