Clean and comfortable accommodation in a super convenient location. It was a great home base after long days out exploring, and we really enjoyed our stay.
Quick response from our host, great location, and the home was warm and welcoming. Very easy for my parents to get around in their wheelchair and walker
The house is roomy & very comfortable. The hosts are quick to respond & help with questions. Kitchen & cleaning items are supplied, we felt right at home. The absolute best perk is the home's location! It's right outside the town square, just a few houses in from the entrance - easily walkable or a super quick golf cart ride. Behind the house is a park-like setting overlooking a creek. It's a beautiful spot for morning coffee or evening cocktail. We've stayed all over The Villages at all types of accommodations and this was our most favorite! Thank you Laura & Dennis, we will be back!!
We had a fantastic stay at this villa in The Villages. The layout was comfortable and spacious, and the location made it easy to get everywhere we wanted to go in Lake Sumter Landing on foot. The peaceful water feature view out the back was a delightful surprise, too! Laura's home is well-stocked, organized, very convenient, and pet-friendly, too, which is a huge plus for our family. The host was responsive and kind which we really appreciated. Five stars all around. My parents live nearby, and like us to stay with them, but... I'll be making excuses to rent this delightful Creekside Villa again!
The house is bright and welcoming. It is sensibly and comfortably furnished. It is well supplied with all the necessities for a stay of any length. The WiFi is fast and trouble free. The A/C is quiet and effective. The 5-burner barbecue is a welcome provision (we love to barbecue). Especially noteworthy is the house's close proximity (easy walking distance) to Lake Sumter Landing town centre, with its shops, restaurants and entertainments. The Villages golf cart rental garage is even closer, and carts of various sizes can be rented for as short a time as one day without having to make a prior reservation. The pool is close by and is a family pool, which was specially suited to us because we had small children, who loved to swim. The pool was never crowded. Often we were the only bathers. It is an excellent base for an enjoyable vacation. There is so much to do in The Villages that one never needs to be bored. The host was highly responsive. Any request we had was speedily attended to by Laura and Dennis. Many thanks to them for a great stay.
This review is written by a party of 3 sixty’ish year old women….who are pretty particular about EVERYTHING :) and we give this home solid rating! Lake Sumter Landing and all it offers is literally just steps away. Regarding the space: the 3 bedrooms were used and we all found them to be comfortable and quiet with good bedding and pillows. We had plenty of hot water for morning showering. The patio space is lovely for morning coffee and sunshine. There isn’t any noise from neighbors and the little nature park is peaceful. It was definitely summertime HOT and the AC in the home was a huge relief. I think it is new as it has “fancy” controls. If you want to adventure beyond Sumter Landing, you can rent your own Golfcart from The Villages, which is a 5 minute walk away. We used Walmart and Amazon delivery for food stuffs and forgotten phone chargers. Aldi’s is a walk away as well. There is a separate laundry room and having a washer and dryer was a huge plus, and we didn’t hear any noise from that area. The great room space was comfy with the seating and we enjoyed the large screen TV and options. My only recommendation is a sound bar, because we 3 women can over talk each other all day long.
THIS is a gem and exemplar of a truly wonderful VRBO experience. The property was stellar and in a fantastic location close to the main shopping and dining areas of the Lake Sumpter section of the Villages. I was ambivalent about staying in the Villages, but this property satisfied my top requirements of being safe, clean, comfortable, spacious, quiet, and peaceful. The water pressure is excellent, the water heater never ran low, the towels actually smelled nice, and the air conditioning was outstanding. The water quality was also the best I’ve EVER experienced in Florida, likely due to a high-end whole-house filtration system and an under-sink filtration system. This was easily in the top 1% of my rental stays (and I’ve been using VRBO and other rental sites for over a decade for all of my travel lodging). I wish all of my VRBO experiences were this nice.
Our stay was great and we would absolutely recommend this home. The location was perfect—close to great restaurants, grocery stores, and everything we needed, while still being in a quiet, comfortable area.The home was spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable. We've been visiting this area for over 15 years because my parents live in The Villages, so we know the area well. We specifically chose this property because of its convenient location while helping my parents through some medical issues, and it couldn't have worked out better.Laura was an exceptional host. Her communication was prompt, friendly, and helpful from beginning to end. When we unexpectedly needed to extend our stay by an extra night, she was incredibly accommodating and made the process easy, which was such a relief during a stressful time.If you're looking for a clean, comfortable home with a fantastic host in an ideal location, this is it. We'd definitely stay here again.
Laura provided us with a wonderful stay in the villages. The property was extremely clean. The beds were so comfortable and the entire kitchen was stocked with everything one could ask for. I highly recommend at stay at this beautiful home! I will be back.
Perfect property for our needs, family of 5 visiting parents in the Villages. Great location, spacious and wonderful host. We hope to stay here again next time we are in the Villages!
Beautiful, very clean house with all the conveniences of home. We loved that it was within walking distance to Lake Sumpter Landing! Our host Laura responded quickly to questions we had. We will definitely be staying here again!
Host Laura, communication, location, easy walk to pool & town, size, extended master with office, future choices, large well appointed kitchen are just a few of the many reason we had an amazing stay. Thank you.
I loved the screened in lenai overlooking a pond.I saw beautiful birds flying and walking around within the beautiful trees. We ate at the Belle Glade Country Club overlooking golf course. Beautifully furnished home. Plenty of room. Pat
Our host Laura was wonderful! She provided us with lots of helpful information both before and during our stay.The house was neat and organized with had everything we needed and was an a great location to restaurants across the street.
