We named our home 'Our Village Gem 2' because it's our second Villa with incredible location, elegant décor and charm in the heart of The Villages, just a short stroll from The Lake Sumter Town Square, with restaurants and entertainment galore. The pools and recreation center are just a short cart ride away.

PERFECT LOCATION -

Located near the Coconut Cove Recreation and Pool Complex, our Caroline location is ideal for all amenities ... FREE golf for Lifestyle ID holders, access to all the facilities and pools and billiards, tennis, pickle ball, shuffle board, horse shoes, bocce ball, petanque, polo fields, baseball fields, basketball courts, free wifi in all those facilities as well as the home, entertainment every night in the town squares, croquet fields - and the equipment for all the sports.

And don’t forget that the golf is free for Lifestyle ID holders on any of the 32 Executive Golf Courses! Or pay a small premium and play one of the 12 Country Club Championship Courses such as The Arnold Palmer or Nancy Lopez Course.

RESTAURANTS AND COUNTRY CLUB EATING -

There are great restaurants around the area that we can highly recommend. Try any of the Country Clubs that often have music or entertainment as well.

We also enjoy walking to the Town Square or taking the golf cart where a dozen or so restaurants are located, many with outdoor eating. You’ll be spoiled for choice!

And most of all we love going to the Town Squares from 5-9pm for the free entertainment and dancing on the Square. They serve 2 for 1 beer and wine at a certain time each night and supply chairs for you to enjoy the music!

The Lake Sumter Square is easily accessible by foot or golf cart! It’s amazing to see so many golf carts which people use instead of their car. It’s a fun way to take advantage of Florida’s wonderful warm weather.

If you want to eat in, there is a Winn-Dixie market conveniently located on the corner of Stillwater and Morse, so you will never run out of essentials.

QUIET, CHARMING & CONVENIENT -

The home is on a quiet street in Caroline adjacent to Lake Sumter Landing Town Square. In the Master Bedroom there is a King Bed, a second bedroom with a Queen Bed. In addition, there is a comfortable sofa bed in the study when you need extra guest sleeping space. All linens, sheets and towels are supplied.

You’ll have cookware and china in the kitchen and dining areas, and all linens and towels freshly laundered for your use.

If you are considering exploring the area, you can rent a car and take in the Disney attractions about an hour away, and all that Orlando has to offer. Or travel further afield and take in the renowned Florida beaches.

AIRPORT TRANSPORT OPTION / EARLY CHECK-IN -

You might want to take advantage of The Villages Transport that will pick up up at the Orlando Airport for a small fee and deliver you back again at the end of your stay. Many visitors to the Villages feel that there is really no need for a car, as your golf carts can take you most places.

Check in is normally 3 pm, and check out 10:30 AM. However early check in can be accommodated if the home is available before 3pm.

We'll try to do all we can to make your stay enjoyable. We’re world travelers ourselves, and know how nice it is to have friendly, helpful landlords, even on short term stays. We’ve made the home nice for ourselves and our guests, and hope you will enjoy every minute of it. We look forward to receiving your inquiry.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION...
RIGHT in the HEART OF THE VILLAGES

Our recent visitors suggested that we stress how nice it is to stroll or jog or bike along the tree lined golf cart paths. It's truly beautiful with it's Old Florida Oaks, moss, and foliage. And don’t forget the activities! As a renter you can partake of the 2000 clubs – yes 2000 – covering every imaginable interest, sport or art! People are friendly and are use to newcomers popping in for a Club activity. There is a weekly ‘Rec News’ available at all the Rec Centers on Thursday with the weekly activities and locations.

Great Location in Villages
In Village of Caroline minutes from Lake Sumter Landing, stores, and restaurants. Short drive to Brownwood or Spanish Springs. We love going to hear music every night in a town square. Home is very clean and fully stocked. Golf cart very useful for short trips. Our second time booking this home, always excellent communication with owners. Private enclosed courtyard villa great for our dog. The beds and furniture are very comfortable, kitchen has everything you need. Home is pretty centrally located in villages for the many activities you will enjoy. TV's with multiple premium channels in every room.

Absolutely fantastic location!
This is a darling property and absolutely the best location. We really enjoyed our stay. The only two semi negatives were that we had to call the owner to adjust the thermostat, as the directions left for it weren’t accurate. Also, when we unmade the bed to wash the sheets, we found stains on the mattress pad. We washed it as well as the sheets. It will be clean for the next renters. 😄

Wonderful!
Village Gem really is a gem! The kitchen was well-stocked, the decor & furnishings immediately made us feel at-home and the entire home was spotless. Plus, we could not have asked for a better location. Hosts Bill and Laurel obviously put a lot of thought and care into this home and it shows. It made our stay exceptional. We would recommend Village Gem without reservation to anyone looking for a wonderful stay in The Villages. Thank you!

Great location and home
This was our first visit to the Villages. The home was perfect for us. Two bedrooms, two baths, very clean and comfortable. Nice patio in back. Golf cart was great and a must have in the Villages. The location was perfect. Less than five minutes to the town square. Three championship golf courses within 10 minute golf cart ride. Pool nearby. Owners very helpful prior to arrival and during the stay. Our stay couldn't have been better. Thanks for a great trip.
