This was my first time booking a house for a short term rental and it couldn’t have been a better experience. The house was warm and inviting and super clean. In addition, the host was very attentive and easy to contact. I would book this house again if I am ever in The Villages!

As a professional traveler for over 40 years, this is the best appointed and equipped furnishings I have ever experienced. Not only is the home very spacious and beautiful, but the host is responsive and friendly. From the plethora of spices to avacado oil for cooking as well as any untinsil you could possibly want, this beautiful home has it all. The amazing vanishing back doors that lead to the spacious refuge just outside the screened in lanai give you total privacy to enjoy a peaceful evening grilling with friends or just relaxing with a provided game or puzzle. The included gas golf cart adds to the excitement of exploring the villages to make this one of the best vacation rentals on the market. We will be back
