5 MINS TO SUMTER! G.CART INCL.! PRIVATE/X-L SCREEN ENCL. PLUS FL ROOM. MUST SEE!

** REDUCED PRICE FOR REMAINDER OF SEPT UNTIL OCT.08'23
This luxury 2/2 villa (established Dec. ‘22) is receiving excellent reviews! The open floor plan provides so much living space, inside and out. This villa offers a very private surround stucco wall so you can sit outside and relax in the screened in birdcage patio with a view of the trees, birds and beautifully landscaped gardens or relax in the Florida room while you take in the garden views but in the comfort of A/C. This house is just a few minutes away from Coconut Cove Recreation Center (Family Pool) where you can enjoy the beautiful pool and stay cool!

After 6 years in the northern part of The Villages we decided to sell and buy a new vacation rental home closer to the center or the "heart" of TV where we're much closer to restaurants, bars and the live entertainment of Lake Sumter Landing. Those who have rented from us in the past know that we are great hosts. We go above and beyond in making sure our home is spotless and that our guests have everything they need to make their stay a time of rest and relaxation.

This cozy villa caught our eye with its beautiful butterfly garden and side patio with painted concrete walkway which continues to wrap around the back where you can sit out and lounge in the comfort of a fully screened-in oversized "birdcage". Enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning while you take in the surrounding gardens, watch butterflies, listen to birds chirping and even see the odd squirrel scavenging for a nut. The garden is lit up at night and you can gaze up at the beautiful stars and night's sky without worrying about the bugs! There's even a little enclosed grassy area for your little fur baby if you happen to bring him/her along!

There's no GRAY in this bright and sunny Florida home! This brick and stucco home features warm browns, copper and neutral ochre paint colors accented with pictures and decor in tranquil blues and teal greens. Hardy engineered hardwood floors provide warmth throughout the entire home. There is no carpet other than area rugs. The living room has a large 70" 4K TV with Roku and Hulu live streaming. Our renters have commented that they'll have a hard time going home to their old TV! The book shelf is stocked with a large collection of books, both our's and those of previous guests as well as few board games and puzzles.

The Master suite features sliding glass doors leading out to the Florida room. There's a walk-in closet with shelves and a chest of drawers. The furniture is made of solid wood, tongue and groove drawers in the nightstands and dressers and the queen sized bed has a brand new Novaform 14" ComfortGrande Plus Gel Memory Foam Mattress. We supply luxury high thread count 100% cotton sheets, cotton blanket and quilt coverlet. We also provide warmer quilts for the winter months. The master bathroom contains, under counter sink and granite countertops, tiled floors, a Bathfitter style non-slip and walk-in shower stall with seamless glass doors and a solar tube for extra lighting.

The 2nd Bedroom has built in cabinets and a desk along with a built-in Murphy bed so you have the option of turning this room into a home office space or den. This queen sized mattress is also very comfortable with Sealy Posturepedic pillow top mattress. The guest bathroom has a comfy sloped back oval tub, granite counter tops with under counter sink and solar tube for extra lighting. It is not directly adjoined to the bedroom so guests do not have to pass through the bedroom to get to the guest bathroom however, you do have the option of a pocket door that closes off both the bathroom and the 2nd bedroom for added privacy if desired.

Theres' a tankless hot water system for long hot showers, a filtered in-fridge water dispenser and ice maker for plenty of ice in the freezer. There's a brand new washer and dryer is located in the garage. We love to cook at home so the kitchen is fully stocked with plenty of glassware, serving ware, lots of bake ware, heavy duty stainless steel pans, an array of utensils, knives, some small appliances - blender, hot-pot, Kitchenaid stand mixer, an electric griddle, a slow cooker, a toaster, a 14-cup Cuisinart coffee maker as well as a one-cup Keurig coffee maker.

Don't worry, if cooking is not your forté there are plenty of restaurants in the area! Havana Country Club has great fried chicken on Sundays, and is ranked one of the best restaurants in The Villages. Red Sauce makes great mussels, the sauce is amazing! Our latest discovery is Mezza Luna at nearby Colony Plaza. Beautiful and elegant decor, large serving sizes and affordable pricing! And did we mention that we're just a short 5 minute golf cart ride to Lake Sumter Landing where you can enjoy an array of local restaurants with indoor/outdoor dining, live music, entertainment, markets and plenty of shopping.

This cozy villa with all its amenities is located in the Mallory champion golf course area. There are multiple adult pools nearby and the closest family pool is Coconut Cove Recreation Center and O'dell Recreation Center, about 5 mins aways. Colony Cottage Pool and Rec. Center offers a great place to workout and swim some laps, take a class or just sit and read a book while taking in the beautiful decor and luxury seating. This is also the closest RC for picking up guest passes.

We have a Yamaha gas golf cart that's included with your rental fees. For additional fees we can add a Yamaha gas 4-seat golf cart.

This home has everything you're looking for in a vacation rental, just unpack your suitcase and enjoy all that The Villages, and this home, has to offer!

Wonderful experience at the Villages!!!
Our first trip to the Villages was fantastic, thanks to the wonderful hospitality of the owners, condition and location of property, and all the amazing amenities! The villa was such a great decision for us! The location is closer than we expected to Sumter's landing and with the golf cart (provided by the owners) or by car is only a few minutes. The property was impeccably clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the lanai and the bird cage every morning we were there. The owner's had our guest passes waiting for us a one of the close by rec centers to pick up as promised. Everything was literally perfect for us. The check in process was seamless and the owners texted to make sure everything was ok. We played pickleball a few different times and enjoyed the a few of the different pools. Every night we enjoyed the live entertainment, food and shopping at Sumter Landing. We visited Brownwood during the day and didn't make it to Sawgrass with the time we had. This was a great way to experience the Villages. We have so much more to experience and will be back a few more times before we make our move to enjoy an active retirement! We enjoyed the comfort and convenience of this villa and we will be back! :)

Best hosts I have ever experienced!!!
We were so delighted with Krista and her kindness and generosity. She wanted our stay to be fabulous and comfortable. IT WAS!!!! Her home is beautiful and clean and the bonus is you can bring your pet, which to us is our family member. Also she provides a golf cart!!! What more could we want? Her home is fully stocked and so comfortable. Responses is quick and clear. We will definitely rent here again. I feel as though I have made a new friend.

About the host

Hosted by Krista Jackson

Host profile image
I'm a retired Air Canada flight attendant originally from Vancouver, Canada and my husband is a retired DHS - US Customs and Border Protection Agent from Albany NY. We've been married 25+ years, have two adult children and two grand babies. After spending many years overseas and in Northern Virginia we've decided to retire and make Florida our permanent home of residency. We've owned a rental home in The Villages since Feb. 2016. While stationed in Seoul, South Korea, JD made a visit to his cousin's home in Orange Blossom and fell in love with the area. Our first TV home was in the Village of Chatham close to Nancy Lopez GC. We owned it for 6 years and kept it as a part time vacation home until JD retired. We loved that area and the neighbors dearly but we decided to sell it in order to focus on our newly purchased lake house in Eustis, FL. However, after 6 months and several visits back to see old friends and neighbors we realized how much we missed The Villages lifestyle and all it's amenities so we decided to buy something a little smaller and closer to Lake Sumter. We will eventually decide on which to retire in but for now, when we aren't there enjoying a few rounds of golf or visiting friends and entertaining family we like to offer it as a vacation home to short term renters. We hope you love the house and The Villages as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

What drew us to this particular neighborhood was the close proximity to Sumter Landing and we love golfing and dining at Mallory Hills and Havana GC. With two grandchildren and another on the way it was also important to be close to a family pool. We love driving over to Sumter Landing in the evening and watch the sunset in one direction and on a rare night, catch a rocket launch looking the opposite direction and Cherry Lake is a great place to see turtles, lots of fish and alligators.

What makes this property unique

This very quiet villa has a side patio that wraps around to a beautiful "bird cage" with a built in sun screen PLUS a fully enclosed Florida room - glass enclosed and temperature controlled room. There's also a beautifully landscaped garden and grassy area for the fur-baby either out the front or the back. This home is perfect for a single person, one couple or can easily accommodate yourself and 2 guests. With it's open floor plan plus outdoor living space it's very private, homey and inviting!
