I don't know anyone in The Villages who has a whole house dehumidifier, but that is really the only type worth buying. I don't think a portable dehumidifier will do much good at controlling the humidity in the house, and most of them require you to empty the water periodically, which is a pain. Basically, a dehumidifier will cool the air to remove moisture, and then reheat the air to the desired temperature.
