Close to downtown! La Palma
Can’t say enough great things about Christine and her awesome place!!! Highly recommend! Truly felt like a home away from home.🙏🏻💫 🏡

3/2, 1800 sq ft, Pets, WEC 11 Miles, Private
The property was great! It was perfect for our family traveling for the weekend and was very accommodating. The host was extremely responsive with any questions. I definitely recommend this.

Cozy 2 BR 2 BA galveston style!
thank you Ken. this lovely and spotless home was exactly what we were looking for. close to everything, easy to get to, and in a very well established, pleasant, and quiet neighborhood. the rear enclosed porch overlooks a large preserve, allowing for a sense of privacy that is refreshing and very unusual in the villages. the bald eagles nest nearby. we look forward to returning for another visit. lou

The Sable
Steven and Reina's place was brand new (i think) and better than advertised! It was fully stocked with everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable as was the livng/dining area. I highly recommend this place for anyone traveling to WEC. It's only 7 mins away which was perfect. We would love to stay here again!!

Cheerful 3 bedroom home with free parking.
Met our needs and expectations. Clif was responsive once we were there, but he missed an email shortly after we booked causing a minor issue. Clif told us to let him know if we needed anything and I did make a couple of suggestions on items for the kitchen if you cook while staying there. It was stocked well enough for what we cooked. If we need to visit relatives again in the villages, we will certainly look to stay here!

Inverness 2 bedroom/2 bathroom featuring a hot tub
Kimberly was a great host! I would stay here again any time! Very clean and exactly how it was advertised! The hot tub was amazing!!! I would recommend to anyone on the fence!

Lakefront 1BR Tiny House w porch
Very cute and comfortable house. We enjoyed the farmers market and long bike ride along the Withlacoochee Stste trail nearby. Great restaurants downtown.

2 BR Home in an Amazing Location With 4-Seat Cart!
Ryan was easy to reach and very responsive to any questions. His home was spotless and extremely well equipped. Our favorite room for relaxing was the lanai. It was well furnished and air conditioned which is unusual based on our past Air BnB rentals. The location is in close proximity to 3 pools,multiple golf courses and Sumter Landing square. Overall this was a great experience.

Inverness Home with a View
Amazing waterfront property, great fishing, turtle & bird watching. The hosts Doug & Marcie welcomed us, gave us helpful tips and recommendations. The home is very well stocked & like the pictures. Cute decorating with lots of helpful things to make your trip easy. Kitchen is well supplied & organized. If you want a relaxing peaceful old Florida trip this is the place.

Dog Friendly Home w/ Fenced Yard & Work Spaces
Loved this place! Stocked with everything you could possibly need. Beds were cozy. House was beautiful. Backyard fenced and great for the dog. 7 miles to Florida horse park. 20 min to Silver springs for Kayaking. Would definitely stay again

Lake Breeze Cottage 1
First time in the area and felt so welcomed. Perfect little cottage for my stay, easy to find and felt very cozy. The backyard area was spectacular. Well groomed lawns to lake front dock and relaxing fire pit. Had family around the corner on the lake that could easily come pick me up on the dock. Sunrises were unforgettable with the sounds of nature surrounding you. If you’re looking for a great all around place to stay that comes with a local vibe/experience book it now #YoullThankMeLater

Heaven on a horse farm !
This was our third stay on their property. It was our second stay at this particular one. It's always clean. The beds and pillows are comfortable. The property and area is beautiful and peaceful. Close to major city like Gainesville but far enough from the traffic and noise. The host is amazing. They leave fresh amazing eggs from their chickens and candy that we always enjoy! They also leave some sodas and other things there for enjoyment. Their showers have nice shampoos and water flow. I would highly recommend any of their places on this property! We plan to stay again. Thank you!

Entire 2 bedroom home w/1 car garage in Inverness
Penny is the best host who really goes above and beyond. She had asked if my grandson had a favorite snack which was animal crackers. And sure enough there were animal crackers when we arrived. They pay close attention to make sure that our stay was a pleasant one. I will definitely be back and would highly recommend staying in this house if you are coming to the Inverness/ Floral City area.

Pet Friendly in the Villages!
John and Heather were very kind and helpful in making our stay at The Villages enjoyable!

King*BBQ*Netflix*Fenced*FirePit*SmartTv’s*Dogs Ok
The house was very comfortable and perfect for our family! The neighborhood was very comfortable, safe, and overall very quiet. There is a great park down the street with a walking trail and children's playground that was dog friendly as well. We would definitely stay here again!

Renovated "Cozy Bungalow" in Downtown Mt. Dora!!!
This is one of our favorite Airbnbs we’ve stayed in so far. It was very comfortable and clean, in a really nice and convenient area, and had everything we needed for a 5-day stay with our dogs.

Spacious Home in a Doggy Paradise (Close to WEC)
Great place to stay while working in Ocala!

Fenced Retreat*Posh Playhouse*Gym*Ping Pong* King
This was one of the best air bnb houses we have stayed in. The bathrooms were stocked with extras, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need to cook including spices, everything was extremely clean and organized, the beds were SO comfortable, the AC was cold, cold, cold and there were plenty of activities around the house. There’s so much more that i could compliment this house and host on. We definitely will stay here again!

Spacious, modern and cozy , close to downtown.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this quaint little home. It was clean, comfortable and offered everything we needed in great proximity to all of the places we were going. Maria was wonderful to work with, providing clear and concise instructions for check in and out and was also very accommodating. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely recommend staying here to our family and friends. We may be back next Easter! 🤗

Cozy Lake House on Lake Weir
Such a peaceful and nice place to go for vacation. The house and property is absolutely beautiful. The only issue you could possibly have at this place is rude neighbors to the right that seem to watch you constantly but that comes with renting places with neighbors close by. We really enjoyed our stay and definitely plan to visit here again.

Fox on 56th (Dog Friendly)
I have stayed at Will's before and as usual, it is in an excellent location to WEC and HITS- love the backyard for my dog and the comfortable feeling. Neighborhood is peaceful and quiet.

2 bedroom 2 bath home with pool
This house was better than I had hoped. It is spacious with very comfortable furniture, including the master bedroom and bathroom. The carport allowed my 2500 Chev p/u to easily park under it. Screened in porch and pool are a wonderful bonus, although I did not have time to use them due to work hours. Wi-Fi was super fast and the Roku options allowed me to watch my normal preferred apps. Area was very quite at night with no noticeable traffic through the neighborhood. Water pressure in the master bath shower was great. I will stay again, if available on my next trip to the Leesburg area. Fred was quick to reply to messages. A/C worked good and all the rooms had ceiling fans to help circulate the air like I do at home. The house is supplied with just about anything you would need just like being at your own house.

Cozy Lady Lake Guest House
The guest house was cozy, nicely decorated, and exactly what I needed. My two dogs and I stayed for a few nights- it was very easy to check in, and the yard space was great. Everything was comfortable, the space was relaxing, and the area was quiet. The jasmines in bloom was a nice touch! Really appreciate a small AirBNB that allowed dogs to stay. Will stay again!

The springs way of living
We were impressed! We felt right at home. It fit my family perfectly. Quiet surroundings. Would book an again.

Your guide to The Villages
All About The Villages
Comprising more than a dozen planned retirement communities and neighborhoods and three unique downtown squares, The Villages is designed to cater to every whim of recreation and entertainment, all within a short drive of Florida’s dual coastlines. The Villages’ history goes back to the 1960s, when the area’s land tracts were sold via mail order. Officially named The Villages in 1992, the community has grown in leaps and bounds. It now spans 32 square miles and is one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the state. Featuring bungalows, patio villas, and custom homes, The Villages’ offerings have grown with the development. The area is home to 50 golf courses and boasts more than 2,700 social clubs; its world-famous polo club draws 30,000 spectators each year.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in The Villages
Typical for central Florida weather, The Villages experiences long, oppressively hot summers and short, cool winters. Due to the humidity, it’s wet pretty much year-round, and cloud cover can come and go quickly depending on the winds. Temperatures average in the high 80s and low 90s Fahrenheit in the summertime, waver between the 70s and 80s during the shoulder seasons, and very seldom drop below 40 degrees in winter. While sunshine is abundant year-round, the best time to visit is late spring or early summer, before things get too sticky. Alternatively, early fall is pleasant.

Lake Griffin State Park
Home to one of the state’s largest live oak trees, this 620-acre park connects Lake Griffin to the Harris Chain of Lakes. It’s the perfect spot to see wildlife like osprey and river otters while canoeing, kayaking, or hiking along the scenic nature trail.
