About the host
Hosted by Joni Newkirk
I live in The Villages full time. Someday, I hope to retire and enjoy all The Villages has to offer. Right now, I live vicariously through my neighbors.
Why they chose this property
Investment/rental homes are a hobby. The five homes currently on VRBO - Mutterhaus, Ruhe Haus, Friedlich Haus, Glucklich Haus, and Villa Sonnenschein - are all lovingly cared for to both retain their value and provide a premium, "at home" experience for guests. If you think of anything during your stay that is missing, but would be great to have, let me know. Your feedback is extremely valuable.
What makes this property unique
Great home in the Village of Amelia, a sought-after location near lake Sumter Landing. The four seat, gas golf car will allow you to explore with confidence and Resident passes will give you access to all the amenities afforded to residents of The Villages.
