Vacation Rental Description

Home Sweet Home...

Time is running out - don't miss the opportunity of saving $$$.  Reserve before June 30th for 2009 
and submit deposit to get 2008 rates for 2009.  

It's not too late to plan a summer vacation - even if just for a week or two....don't let the summer 
slip away!  Get away from it all and relax - there's no better place to do it! September (after the 
kids are gone) is a wonderful month to plan a visit to the Villages also. 

Let this be your home away from home while you're in the Villages. I think you'll find it very warm 
& welcoming!

Upon your arrival, you will find a special welcome gift & Villages guidebook I have made up to help 
you make the most of your vacation.  Included in it is local maps and phone numbers for golf, 
shopping areas, churches along with other important information you will find useful.  There are 
also pamphlets and brochures for other cities you might like to  travel to for an exciting day trip, 
i.e. Orlando, St. Petersburg, Tampa etc.   

Our home is located in the new village of Duval.  It is 2.5 miles south of Lake Sumter Landing close 
to Rte. 466A. We are very close to several executive courses, Truman Recreation Center, the brand 
new Colony Recreation Center & the Colony Shopping Center where you will find the Publix Grocery 
Store, several small businesses and restaurants and for you ladies a wonderful apparel shop called 
Anthony's. 

The L/R and dining area in this villa offer a great room effect with vaulted ceilings for a very 
comfortable and spacious feel. There is an entertainment center in the L/R with a 27" TV and Bose 
Lifestyle 38 home theater system with surround sound for watching TV & movies. There is also a desk 
in the L/R that you can use to send letters & postcards to all your friends from home. We have also 
provided some games and such for those nights you decide to stay in. The dining table seats 4 - 6 
comfortably and these is also a breakfast bar with two stools for those quick snacks. Directly off 
the dining area there are patio doors that lead to the side patio where you can cook out with the 
provided barbecue grill.  The screened in lanai is a personal favorite spot of mine - it is so 
relaxing to sit out there in the morning and read the paper and drink coffee.  On the lanai, you 
will find a white wicker loveseat, rocker and chair along with two end tables and a ceiling fan.  

The kitchen comes complete with all you need to make everything from morning coffee to enjoy on the 
lanai to midnight snacks in front of the tv. We have tried to provide everything you will need to 
make yourself feel at home. Coming in from the garage you walk directly in to the utility room where 
you will find the washer/dryer and large pantry. This home is totally electric. 

The master bedroom suite has a king size bed along with 2 nightstands and dressor with mirror. There 
is a TV with built-in VCR and radio in this room. Walking into the master bath you'll find it is 
split into two areas...the vanity & huge walk-in closet and the toilet & walk-in shower are 
separated by a door. 

The guest bedroom has a queen bed, nightstand & chest of drawers. Both bedrooms have brand new 
bedding, down alternative comforters, telephones, clock radios, plenty of storage and are decorated 
quite nicely. The guest bath separates the two bedrooms offering more privacy & is equipped with a 
shower/tub combination.

Ceiling fans are found in both bedrooms, the living room and the lanai.  All bath towels, beach 
towels, bed linens are provided along with paper products.  

Vacation Rental Amenities

As mentioned earlier, this home was built in 2007 and has never been lived in.  It served as a 
display home for the sales department and was furnished and decorated with items from the Southern 
Lifestyles store located in the Villages.  

This home is conveniently located close to the Truman Recreation Center, the new Colony Rec Center.  
The Duval neighborhood pool is easily within walking distance. The Sandhill, Turtle Mound, Bogart 
and Bacall, Heron and Pelican excecutive golf courses are just a short distance away. Country clubs 
and championship golf courses in the area are Havana, Mallory Hill, and Cane Garden. A little 
farther away is the wonderful Arnold Palmer and Nancy Lopez country clubs and courses.

If you play golf, you will certainly want the optional Villages Amenity Transfer ID card to give you 
all the privileges that you would have as if you were a resident. Transfer ID cards can be obtained 
thru the Villages for a one time fee of $50 per couple, good for the length of your rental period. 
If you would like to have this & are staying for a month or longer, please let us know & we will 
include it in the rental fee.

Activities and Attractions

As I'm sure you already know, the Villages is an active (very active) 55+ adult community.  There 
are almost no limits to the list of activities for you to enjoy.  Every Thursday in the Daily Sun 
newspaper, there is a pullout recreation section that gives you a complete rundown for the weekly 
classes, meetings and planned activities.  Use it as your guide for all the things you want to 
schedule to do during the week ahead.  These can also be picked up at any of the recreation centers 
if you arrive in the middle of the week.   Just a few of the weekly activites are tennis,pickleball, 
bocce ball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, billiards, bowling, basketball, ping pong, softball, pinochle, 
bunco, mah-jong, literally dozens of dance classes (from clogging to ballroom), card clubs, fitness 
classes, swim times and on and on.  

For the less energetic, there is an unlimited array of musical venues for your listening and or 
dancing pleasure.  Every single night of the year - 365, there is entertainment in both of the town 
squares.  There are almost nightly concerts in the Church on the Square in Spanish Springs to enjoy 
and special events held at the Savannah Center.  Also, in the Savannah Center you will find an 
internet center for your use in case you don't have your own laptop. 


For more details, please see The Villages website and click on the link about us and go to the Daily 
Sun section.  There you will find the complete list of activities for the month and also an 
entertainment schedule for the week.

You will be able to find literally everything you could possibly need within the confines of the 
Villages proper but also outside of the Villages you’ll find nearby shopping centers with Home 
Depot, Wal-Mart, Bealls, Target, TJ Maxx, Linens and Things and much more.  There is everything from 
major franchise chains to flea markets and everything in between.  There is a huge Barnes and Noble 
bookstore within the Villages now and you can also find a library, banks, gas stations, fast food 
restaurants, sit-down restaurants (Carrberra, Outback, Denny's, Chili's, Perkins) and grocery 
stores.  There is also a Hertz and Enterprise car rental location in the Villages as well as golf 
cart rental stores.
