The interior rooms and Florida Room are filled with light and give you a perfect place to entertain or wind down and relax.

And don’t forget that the golf is free on any of the 32 Executive Golf Courses! Or pay a small premium and play one of the 12 Country Club Championship Courses such as The Arnold Palmer or Nancy Lopez Course when you elect to pay for a Resident ID Card.

RESTAURANTS AND COUNTRY CLUB EATING -

There are great restaurants around the area.Try any of the Country Clubs that often have music or entertainment as well. One of our favorites is Cane GardenCountry Club that boasts special different menus each night, and the best breakfast special in The Villages.

We also enjoy going to the Town Square where a dozen or so restaurants are located, many with outdoor eating. You’ll be spoiled for choice! Our favorite is Red Sauce, but try them all.

And most of all we love going to the Town Squares from 5-9pm for the free entertainment and dancing on the Square. They serve 2 for 1 beer and wine at 5 to 6pm each night and supply chairs for you to enjoy the music!

The Square is easily accessible by foot or golf cart! It’s amazing to see so many golf carts which people use instead of their car. It’s a fun way to take advantage of Florida’s wonderful warm weather.

If you want to eat in, there is a Winn-Dixie market conveniently located on the corner of Caroline, so you will never run out of essentials.

The home is on a quiet Loop, just off Morse adjacent to Lake Sumter Landing Town Square.

You might want to take advantage of The Villages Transport that will pick up up at the Orlando Airport for a fee and deliver you back again at the end of your stay. Many visitors to the Villages feel that there is really no need for a car, as your golf carts can take you most places.

WHAT WE LIKE MOST ABOUT OUR VILLAGES HOME -

We fell in love with this property because if it's Location and Charm.

Not noisy, yet in the heart of everything, with everything walkable. We especially love the proximity to Lake Sumter Landing Town Square with all it’s amenities – less than 2% of Village home have that luxury!

We also love Screened Outdoor Patio, with it vaulted roof and the Library, which can be divided from the Living Room by French Doors, giving it seclusion. The comfy sofa in the Study gives a retreat to watch TV or curl up with a book while others go about their activities. The Florida Room is a great place for breakfast, or a glass of wine in the evening, soaking up the great Florida weather!

Great place during difficult time
I booked this property for myself and family in town to bury our grandmother. We needed a comfortable place during this difficult time and it was just that! It was spacious and clean! We would stay here again.

Just like home
Our stay was so awesome! Absolutely anything you could possibly need for your stay was there. The beds and pillows were comfortable, the most well stocked kitchen. Any kind of spices you could need, a brand new gas grill, plenty of linens and towels, an excellent washer and dryer. The gas golf cart was appreciated by my husband and Grandson, as they golfed twice a day. They brought their clubs but there was a couple sets of clubs in the garage you could use if needed. Tom and Christine's place is in the perfect location. Sumter Landing is just outside the gate to their neighborhood, as well as a Winn Dixie. Any kind of shopping you enjoy or need is within 2-3 miles from the house. Loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Tom & Christine

Host profile image
Here we are on vacation. We purchased this beautiful home from a couple who were decorator professionals. Every nook and cranny has been meticulously designed.

Why they chose this property

One of the most beautifully decorated homes in The Villages!!!! And, it is perfectly located very near Sumter Landing and all its activities.

It's a beautifully decorated DESIGNER HOME with 3 bedrooms to sleep 6 adults comfortably, PLUS LIBRARY and youth bunk beds for 2 kiddies. The sofa in the Library can accommodate a 7th person.

AND you'll have a 4-seater golf cart to enjoy with your guests and family!

Ideally situated in Caroline, considered to be the most ideal area of the Villages ... within one-half mile of Sumter Landing Town Square and close to shopping, restaurants, golf and activities.

You'll love riding the golf carts up to the town square, and around the whole of the Villages to the Sports Centers, Recreation Canters, Adult Pools and Family Pools!!!!

What makes this property unique

We wanted a location that was easily walkable to the Town Square. This home is only a half mile to Lake Sumter Town Square, perfectly located in the middle of the Villages, making it easy to get to any of the Recreation Centers, pools and golf courses and Country Clubs!
