Beautiful Vacation Home & Location. Very clean and beautiful pool. Excellent Communication

This was our first visit to the Villages and this was the perfect house & location. This village was so quiet and backing on the golf course was perfect. The location is so close to several of the community/rec centers, community pool an easy walk or minutes on golf cart, and minutes on the golf cart to the popular Spanish Springs for everything from shopping, dining and entertainment. We loved the golf cart and especially the heated pool making our stay even more perfect. The extra amenities provided were so nice when it was just the 2 of us in the house. Much appreciated not having to purchase extra toiletries for our week stay. Everything at this house is very well thought out and well appointed. Kitchen was missing nothing and wifi and all technology worked perfectly. Everything was nice and clean with lovely decor and furnishings. We especially appreciated the correspondence with Jen as she was very quick to respond to our inquiries when booking and everything was as indicated. We felt so safe in this area which was important for us. We cannot say enough about how lovely this property was. We will look forward to booking again for our next village vacation.

Wonderful Choice

We booked this lovely home for the month of November to extend golf season and postpone cold weather expected at home in Canada. We also had family visit for part of the stay, as a home base for Disney Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios. The house was clean, comfortable and attractive, amazingly well equipped and the best location due to quiet street and central location between Spanish Springs Square and Sumpter Landing. Also, central between the nearby family pool and an adult pool. Golf courses, like the pools and recreation centers, are EVERYWHERE. So many dining choices, too little time! The Villages has to be experienced as it is indescribable. We are returning next year and grateful to rent this wonderful home again.
