LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Stay in the heart of The Villages—only a 3-minute golf-cart ride or 7-minute walk to Lake Sumter Landing’s restaurants, shops, and nightly live music.

We named this home “Our Village Gem 2” because it’s our second Villages property and has the same comfort, care, and attention to detail that our guests love. The location, in the Village of Caroline, offers peace and privacy just steps from the action.

The Home
Enjoy an open, light-filled floor plan designed for relaxing or entertaining. After a round of golf or an evening at the Square, unwind on the sofa with the 55-inch Smart TV, or stream a favorite show in either bedroom. The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, dishes, and utensils, and fresh linens and towels are provided—just bring your suitcase and settle in.

Perfect Location
Few homes are this close to Lake Sumter Landing. Walk, bike, or take the golf cart to restaurants, shopping, and free nightly entertainment.

Golf is free for Lifestyle ID holders on Executive Courses, with small fees for Championship play.

Property was very clean. Attention is needed to furnishings, lights, and kitchen stove. One thing we did not like was having to wash bed linens ourselves. How can you be sure the previous renter actually washed all the linens or simply just put them in the dryer and turned it on and they appear to be cleaned. Not sanitary in my opinion. This also requires you to get up at the crack of dawn in order to complete a wash cycle and dry the linens prior to departure. I personally, would rather pay a few dollars more in cleaning fee to have cleaning people wash the towels and linens, I have no problem with stripping the beds and leaving linens in the laundry area, as I have done in previous rentals. The mattresses in both bedrooms are tired, need to be replaced. We had to buy a foam mattress pad in order to get some comfort while sleeping, on both beds.

Great place to stay

The only difficulty we had was the fact we had an early flight out and we had to get up super early to wash the sheets and towels. Although, in all fairness I think that had I let them know, they may have said not to worry about it. They were very easy to work with. Would stay here again w/o any hesitation.

Perfect location and perfect accommodations for us and our little dog ❤️ we especially liked how they enclosed the sun porch and made it air conditioned living space with a love seat and tv, it was a nice surprise! The villa was lovely, clean and perfect for us. We would definitely stay there again! The addition of a golf cart to use was was a bonus for us! Thank you 😊

Perfect Location and Lovely Home

My husband and I, along with our dachshund, spent a week at this home in early July 2024. The house was clean, with modern decor and a well-equipped kitchen and bathrooms. The beds and linens were very nice, and the living room furniture was quite comfortable. We also appreciated the YouTube TV for watching local news and weather while there. The location was very convenient for many things, including a grocery store, Lake Sumter Square, and golf courses. And it didn't take long to get to Spanish Springs via gold cart, either. We really appreciated the fenced-in backyard for the dog.

Wonderful!

Village Gem really is a gem! The kitchen was well-stocked, the decor & furnishings immediately made us feel at-home and the entire home was spotless. Plus, we could not have asked for a better location. Hosts Bill and Laurel obviously put a lot of thought and care into this home and it shows. It made our stay exceptional. We would recommend Village Gem without reservation to anyone looking for a wonderful stay in The Villages. Thank you!
