I have had experience with two companies.

I do not recommend White Pelican. It was a very, very bad experience.

I do recommend Downhome Properties. Overall, a very good experiences.

The Villages itself has a rental program but it takes a greater percent of your rental money than other services, or did 3 years ago when I looked into them. Also they are very strict. An example is that I had a golf cart, but they would not let me use it to attract renters, I would have had to pay to store it somewhere.

Renters did not damage my house beyond breaking a soup bowl and leaving a brown stain on the bathroom floor. Well worth the thousands I gained in rental income. But its up to you - be well insured if you take renters in any case.
