This would depend on the covenants and restrictions for the area of The Villages where you reside. Since The Villages are in three counties and the Villages were built over different time periods I would suspect the restrictions are not uniform. This is just a guess on my part. This got me curious and I looked over my document " Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for The Villages of Sumter Holly Hills Villas" , an 8 page document that I signed. The article (on page 7) on parking restrictions for my area states " No owner of a Homesite shall park, store, or keep any vehicle except wholly within his driveway or garage. No trucks in excess of 3/4 ton, camper, boat, trailer or aircraft, or any vehicle other than a private non-commercial vehicle may be parked in a parking space except a boat may be kept in the garage with the garage door closed."

This is in the newer area of The Villages. In the Historic areas where there are carports boats may be allowable. It might take a little investigation to see what the covenants are in the different areas.
