My family was visiting my wife’s parents. The also live in the Villages, but their house is a little tight now that the kids are teenagers. This location was very close to them and Sumpter Landing. The house was exactly as described and had nostalgic everything we needed. The golf cart was great and very convenient. House was very quiet all the neighbors were very friendly. If you are looking to see what TheVillages are all about or visiting someone, we recommend this listing. Thank you Andy & Jen

everything was great! Ken is great, very responsive and helpful. the space is beautiful and clean! we loved the pool and hot tub combo on site. pool was clean and warm and hot tub was hot and jets worked wonderfully. the full size kitchen was great, but the room we hung out in most was definitely the patio room. super relaxing environment and love the TV that turns so you can see it in the pool. the golf cart is also a great addition. we loved being able to cruise around and see the different town squares, live music, shopping centers, restaurants, pools, etc. just a side note on how much ken is a superstar- we stayed during the week of hurricane Milton hitting and decided to leave and check out early, he was EXTREMELY accommodating to that. we would HIGHLY recommend staying here.

If you need a big place with a well stocked kitchen, this place will do great for you. Plenty of space for kids to roam. The rental management company was very communicative and made it easy getting in and out. Kudos to the owners for renovating in the 90s and keeping the hardcore 80s chic vibe going strong.

An adorable place close to everything in downtown Mount Dora. Just steps away from all the activities. Just park your car and walk to all the local shops and restaurants. The place is beautifully decorated and pet friendly. Every aspect of the little house is super cute. The hosts are great and very responsive. We will certainly return as we've done in the past!!!

Your guide to The Villages
All About The Villages
Comprising more than a dozen planned retirement communities and neighborhoods and three unique downtown squares, The Villages is designed to cater to every whim of recreation and entertainment, all within a short drive of Florida’s dual coastlines. The Villages’ history goes back to the 1960s, when the area’s land tracts were sold via mail order. Officially named The Villages in 1992, the community has grown in leaps and bounds. It now spans 32 square miles and is one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the state. Featuring bungalows, patio villas, and custom homes, The Villages’ offerings have grown with the development. The area is home to 50 golf courses and boasts more than 2,700 social clubs; its world-famous polo club draws 30,000 spectators each year.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in The Villages
Typical for central Florida weather, The Villages experiences long, oppressively hot summers and short, cool winters. Due to the humidity, it’s wet pretty much year-round, and cloud cover can come and go quickly depending on the winds. Temperatures average in the high 80s and low 90s Fahrenheit in the summertime, waver between the 70s and 80s during the shoulder seasons, and very seldom drop below 40 degrees in winter. While sunshine is abundant year-round, the best time to visit is late spring or early summer, before things get too sticky. Alternatively, early fall is pleasant.
