Unique Benefits
The most awesome feature of this home is the views from the porches of the golf course and wildlife. It is a special place to sit in the screened in porch and relax at the end of a busy day. Of course, being able to drive around The Villages in a golf cart is also a terrific feature.
This home is located very close to the Orange Blossom Country Club, restaurant and priority pool with a waterfall. It is a very special place to go throughout the day to enjoy swimming, lounging, eating or playing golf.
Visitors may take one of several shuttles from the Orlando or Sanford airports for around $40 each way. Be sure to contact the village airport van because they pick you up at the airport and take you directly to your home.
Why Kids Love It
Children love to visit their grandparents. They enjoy the music, the people walking around in the squares, swimming, and the summer grandparent activity programs.
Area Information
The Villages is the largest retirement community in the world. It spans across three counties in mid-Florida. There are three town squares that provide entertainment and shopping every night of the year, 12 championship golf courses, 42 executive golf courses, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, bocce ball, corn hole, hundreds of swimming pools with water sports, bike and walking trails, and hundreds of restaurants to choose from. There are also 3,500+ clubs in The Villages which allow you to participate in anything from photography to dance lessons.
Attractions Within Walking Distance
Of course it depends on how far you are willing to walk. It is so much easier and more fun to jump into the golf cart! Spanish Springs town square is very close. Less than 1 1/2 miles away. There is also an outdoor work out center in a walking park, a picnic area near the pond, archery, soft ball, bocce ball, pickleball, tennis courts, and churches.
Favorite Places To Eat
The Orange Blossom restaurant is less than a mile away. Once crossing the bridge (in your golf cart) you open the world to hundreds of restaurants in The Villages. Once over the bridge you are in Spanish Springs with lots of restaurants, shops, grocery stores and two bowling alleys.
Inside Scoop
Often people think that Florida should only be visited in the winter months. This is so far from the truth. The spring and fall have lovely weather and fewer visitors. Summer is a great time to visit also because it is less crowded, there are special pricing deals of golf and other activities, and the summer nights are fabulous. Yes, it is hot and humid, but you can count on this every single day and you do get used to being warm.
Amenities
Other Vacation Rental Amenities
The Villages has 14 championship golf courses and 35 executive golf courses to choose from. We have over 100 pools with adult pools, family pools and priority pools (Olympic sized pool). We are 1 1/2 hours from the West and East coast beaches. There are agencies in the area that take bus tours to the beach.
You really do not need a car when you visit The Villages because you can get to nearly everywhere in a golf cart. There are three town squares with entertainment and shopping every night. Grocery and clothing shops are less than a mile away.
The Villages is very difficult to explain to people until you experience it. Once you have you will want to return, no matter what your age!

About the host: John and Linda met in The Villages in 2011. They fell in love and married on 12/12/12. They both have a passion for renovating homes, golfing, traveling, and socializing with friends. They started a club in The Villages called YOLO. This club enjoys doing a lot of fun activities such as dances, exploring, listening to music and just gathering with friends.
Why this property? John and Linda happened to stop at the open house for this property in June 2020. They immediately fell in love with the views of the golf course. There are views of the course from nearly every room! We love sitting on the screened in porch and watching people golf or watching the wild life enjoying the area. Our favorite is the sand hill cranes that live near by.
This property is so warm and comfortable, but the best part is definitely the three porches. There is a wooden deck, screened in porch and a sun room. All are wonderful depending on the weather!
The Villages is such a great place to live. We love to show people around when they come to The Villages by going about in the golf carts. The fact that we love this place will be very evident as we describe everything you can do when you visit. You will not be bored in The Villages, unless you choose to be!!

Jeff and Ann, It was a pleasure to meet both of you and we are so happy that you had a great stay. We hope you will come back and see us again some time! Linda and John Mason
Very special vacation spot....
My husband and I stayed for 2 weeks in May. The owners, John and Linda, are more than helpful. They certainly contributed to making our vacation special. The property itself was very clean and tastefully decorated. It's even better than the photos. One thing for me, being a cook, the kitchen is VERY well stocked. A lot of vacation rentals are lacking in that way. The beds are very comfortable and the property is very convenient to Spanish Springs. Couldn't have asked for a nicer vacation ... or nicer people in John and Linda. Thank you again for everything. Lynda & Maurie.

Simply the Best!!
This house is simply the best. Everything you can imagine is included with the house. It is clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. The furniture and beds are extremely comfortable. The house is located on a cul-de-sac and it is very quiet . There are many sitting areas (5) and a 180 degree view of the championship golf course. The outside sitting area includes a large screened in porch and outside deck. Orange Blossom Hills is a great area. The neighbors are extremely friendly. The Orange Blossom Country Club's food is delicious and their pool is beautiful. This is a golf cart community and the golf cart is included. There are many miles of golf cart trails that pass water areas, amazing flower gardens and the many executive and championship golf courses that are in The Villages. Shopping is also accessible by golf cart and very close. Spanish Springs is the main entertainment area. Bands play in Spanish Springs for 4 hours every night, 365 nights a year. There are many great restaurants in that area also. The owners are cordial and want you to have the best experience ever in The Villages.
