In TV I presume there's so many options of things to do and new friends to meet that you do not miss being within 20 minutes of beach.

If you are thinking of the coast here are some suggestions: Stuart (we lived there 20 years), Port St Lucie, Fort Pierce, Sebastian, Jupiter, Melborne, Sarasota.
Honestly, while we love The Villages, we were shocked when we drove through the Leesburg area 14 years ago at the dumpiness of the area outside The Villages. Its improved since then a little but do miss Stuart.
