This rental is very clean and sanitized. Communication with owner was always quick and friendly. Only issue we had was the golf cart which the owners helped resolve. Highly recommend and we would rent from again.

Nice home, owners very responsive, enjoyed the community.
The place was better than described. Very clean and cozy and the host Kate was wonderful. She went above and beyond to make everything easy to navigate inside and around the community. I will definitely be back!
Very clean house in a quiet neighborhood; near everything in The Villages - Spanish Springs. Great host (Kate) and responsive. I was there for an entire month (first time in The Villages) and had a great time. The house is close to golf courses, a beautiful baseball diamond, a large grass archery range w moveable targets, 4 tennis/pickleball courts. There is also a dog park nearby, as well as a bridge - for golf cart traffic - over US 27/441; it takes perhaps a 5-6 minute golf cart ride to get to the Spanish Springs town center/square, with nightly music and many restaurants. Kate’s house is also near many great restaurants, coffee shops, pharmacies & markets within 5-15 minutes. I visited Cracker Barrel, Texas Roadhouse, Dunkin Donuts, Chilis, and many others. Both a WalMart and Publix are nearby as well. The nearby championship 18-hole course - Orange Blossom Hills CC - has a great restaurant and pool (and hot tub). I played five different golf courses - some free (9 hole executives like Hill Top) and several with reasonable greens fees.The people in The Villages are very nice and amiable. I look forward to a return trip!
Amazing property w/ all the necessities and more...
Great place, location and neighborhood. The property has everything you need or forgot, no worries there. Loved my stay and would book again when I get back!! thx
The house was clean and looked exactly like the pictures on VRBO. The kitchen was well stocked and our bed was comfy. In the 9 times that we have vacationed in The Villages, Kate and Lonnie were the best landlords that we have ever had! They were welcoming, and very responsive to our questions. Enjoyed our month there, even though the weather wasn’t the best.
Perfect location for attending a bowling tournament at Spanish Springs Lanes. Property owner was attentive with prompt communication during our stay. Checkin in and out process was fast and easy. Having access to a washer and dryer for our 10 day stay was appreciated.
The owners of this sweet home are the HOSTS with the MOST! They could not do more to make sure you enjoy your stay…the home has everything you need, lovely decor; I met lots of wonderful neighbors as well. Sad to leave !
We enjoyed the swimming pool's and riding just about anywhere in the Villages. Lots of great places to eat. We really liked "The Red Sauce", An Italian Restaurant. We also visited friends and family in Leesburg about 35 min. from the Villages.
Was a great stay during my house hunting. The bed was perfect after a long day no.
Kate was an excellent hostesss and provided much info. See you soon Kate
Thank you for letting us stay at your property and the community. We greatly appreciate all that you did for us while our house was being finished and considering your house as our home before our home.
Host met us at the rental. Amazing. Very well stocked and fun golf cart (weather was colder so we didn't get a chance to use it except 3 times lol). Location was perfect. Thank you for making this a comfortable stay. We'll be back.
Overall the home was very comfortable and had everything we needed. There were a few small issues that were addressed and other issues forwarded to the owners. The owners were great to work with. Would recommend the property for rental.
Only down side was that it was at a somewhat busy intersection!
This was our first time in The Villages. Kate and Lonnie were the best landlords! They were very attentive with anything we needed and very quick with fixing the garburator when we noticed a leak. We also had a bit of trouble with the golf cart and while it was being fixed, they gave us theirs for the week. We sincerely enjoyed our stay and enjoyed all our talks with Kate and Lonnie. We will be back to The Villages someday and hope this property is available for us. Great house and location. Thanks Kate!
Wasp problem due to scrren door not closing properly. On a positive note this properly offers a great look at the north side of the villages. These are not run of the mill modulers people resent there

About the host
Hosted by Kate Matthews Pollard
Kate and Lonnie retired to the Villages in 2015. They are year round residents and enjoy the Villages life style. Although they knew no one when they moved here, they have built instant friendships with neighbors, fellow golfers, students at the Lifelong Learning Center, church members and fellow residents that are members of many of the clubs that they have joined. Kate and Lonnie love to shop, dine out, swim, dance at the one of the three squares, and attend many of the performances offered by local bands, theater groups and big named performers that travel through the Villages from time to time. They feel like they are on a lifetime holiday. Lonnie and Kate are retired dentists and Kate served in the United States Air Force. They have been married for 11 years and have a new Golden Retriever puppy, Mabelene, that keeps them very busy. They have not had a problem integrating into the Villager lifestyle and understand now why The Villages is deemed "America's Friendliest Town."
