About this house rental

The house you will be staying in is beautifully situated on the Owl Preserve between two golf courses. This lovely designer home has tiled floors, vaulted ceiling, lovely furnishings - you will feel at home here. You can watch cable on two flat screen televisions plus DVD movies. Bring your laptop for easy connection to our Wi-fi network.

For the convenience of any guests, the second bedroom area has a sliding door which gives full privacy to this side of the house. The kitchen is fully stocked with all utensils and dinnerware for dining at home.

From the lanai, you have a beautiful view of the Owl Preserve and the first hole of the Hacienda Hills Palms course beyond. The preserve was designed specifically to harbor the burrowing owl. But there are plenty of other inhabitants, the burrowing gopher tortoise, sandhill cranes and myriad waterfowl that you might see crawling, flying or walking about. A bald eagle often eats a meal on a perch in the preserve. Relax on our lanai, pour a glass of your favorite beverage and relax in your comfortable chair in complete privacy. Look to your left and you will see, hanging over your backyard, Florida's finest - grapefruit and oranges. This is the good life!

Relax, but not for long. When the sun gets low in The Villages, the golf carts start streaming home from the courses and The Villages comes alive. Your wife is ready for dancing. The live bands start their evening gigs at 5 in all three town squares. So take your choice. Spanish Springs square is only a mile from your front door and Morse Blvd with its wide multi-modal trails only 6 doors away. Your gas golf cart (provided) should be ready. Don't worry about coming home in the dark or the rain. The cart is fully equipped with lights, weather covering and even locked compartments for any valuables.

The town squares are teeming with revelers every night, the outdoor dance pavilion rocking. Grab a beer, cocktail or glass of wine at the outdoor kiosks and join in the fun. When you get hungry, you can choose from dozens of fine restaurants in the square or close by. We especially like Gators Dockside for wings and sports at Spanish Springs and the outdoor bars at Sumter Landing: City Fire, Red Sauce and Cody's or RJ Gators for happy hour or outdoor dining.

You will no doubt want to play golf while you're visiting and you have plenty to choose from. Twelve championship golf courses with names such as Arnold Palmer and Nancy Lopez and 36 executive courses are located in the Villages. Look out the back door to the right and you will see the closest course, and one of our favorites, Hacienda Hills. Chi Chi Rodriguez calls the opening holes on two of the 3 nines his favorites to play. Each of the championship courses has a beautiful clubhouse and recreation facilities, including tennis and swimming. As our guest, your are automatically a member of all 12 country clubs. Enjoy their fine restaurants and bar areas.

There are so many other activities to choose from: both adult and family pools, shuffleboard, boccie, pickleball, tennis, horseshoes, basketball and billiards to name a few. Watch a polo match, play bridge everyday, take dance lessons, try your hand at archery or skeet, or choose from myriad social clubs and recreational activities at one of the Villages' regional recreational centers.

We were initially skeptical of retirement communities, but after one visit we were sold. The Villages is not your parents' retirement community; no one is retired here except from the humdrum of a 9 to 5 work schedule. Welcome to our home at the Villages. You will love it!

Spent spring break here with my 17 year old son to visit family and see what The Villages has to offer me in retirement. This property is extremely clean and in a great location. It is near Lake Sumter, Spanish Springs, recreation centers and pools. Even saw a coyote close up in the field on the back. Having priority guest passes was a huge bonus. We loved not being excluded from any facility. The property manager, Mary Beth was great and responded promptly to any questions we had. I would definitely book this property again!

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. It was very clean. It was a great location to Spanish Springs and sumpter landing. We didn’t use the golf cart but it was nice that it was available. The one bedroom mattress makes a horrible creaking noise when you move that is annoying. Other than that e really had a great time!

Very nice!

This property was exactly what we needed to escape the harsh winter of Michigan. Nice home with plenty of room to relax after enjoying our days at the Villages pools and evenings at the Village Squares. Quiet and private off the back of the house from the lanai. A bit too much traffic on the street in front of the house for our liking. This made it difficult to nearly impossible to walk our dog along the road. Over all a pretty nice place to rest and vacation.

we were in the villages for two weeks looking for a new home and we enjoyed staying in this rental the owl/turtle sanctuary is directly behind it we enjoyed many afternoons watching the turtles wish we had binoculars with us. The rental was ready and immaculate when we arrived no issues with rental during our stay, property manager and owner were a pleasure to speak to and eager to make our stay A happy one, only thing that I would suggest is updating the living room furniture. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this rental to family and friends.

First time visiting The Villages

First time visiting The Villages

Can’t say enough about staying in the Villages it’s an experience and so fun! We rented at the last minute and only 2 homes were available. The rental was a great location, the use of the golf cart was part of the experience and worked great. The home is dated and tired. Old sheets, old towels and the furnishings needed refreshing etc. The rental manager was very helpful getting us in the home (the garage door button didn’t work) and getting us connected with the activities in the area.

The renting experience was wonderful from the time I rented on-line until the time I left the rental. The home was clean and ready for us. Mary Beth did an excellent job answering questions and making sure we had everything we needed. We ask to extend our stay and property owner was kind enough to do that. Would definitely rent again!! Thank you very much!

Under the most difficult of circumstances we stayed here. It was available and booked 2 days prior. If you are looking for a place to stay with history and feels like that favorite sweatshirt of yours this is the place. The view in the backyard is so peaceful.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay along with our dog. As previously reviewed, to be a smaller house, it feels spacious. It was also clean and tidy. It has a great location, central to all that the villages has to offer. Very quiet and safe area. There are a few upgrades/updates that could be made to elevate the experience such as new towels and sheets/bedding. But regardless, we were happy with this rental and had a lovely time! Would recommend!
