Usually, there is a tipping point and then the community is not as desireable.
Many of you may not agree.....

maryanna you spoke my mind. I have tried to have a rationale discussion concerning rentals since I have been here because like you I too have a concern as to how it affects The Villages. Its clear that the profit motive motivates people to be innovative in how they get around restrictions. And its clear that some of those who rent will want a big bang for their buck. Its also likely that a marketing person here is good at deflection "artful dodgers" And while an owner has the right to rent to anyone for as long s/he likes one wonders as to how they get the right to assign their amenity rights to countless others. It is in my view a practice that goes against the very marketing claims of this development. specifically they said if you want the villages lifestyle pony up a premium for it. Here we now have a owner who was offered that same option passing along for a fee that premium to multiple (countless) non-residents and at other residents expense. so the next time a full time resident can't get that tee time or pickle ball court or rec center room ask yourself how many non residents have taken up your space. And one wonders exactly how many of those owners actually bought a house to live here?
The situation the OP speaks of his deplorable whether its one villa or several because if its one then tomorrow its two and so forth and so forth.
simply stated if the rules of this community are allowed to be violated then we will all suffer. Ask yourself is this the word picture you were told existed here? Many of us invested a good portion of our retirement savings for what we believed would be passed on to our heirs because we believed it was a good investment that would maintain its originality. In my view this is a legitimate concern I opine others can decide
