Check out the Facebook group, Home Rentals in The Villages FL. Also a website, RentfromaVillager.com. Good info in both those places!

I am the boots on the ground support for 7 patio villas here. There is a cleaning person who manages the turnarounds (cleaning, sheets, beds, check golf cart). One is a long term lease. The others are short term, with AirBnB, plus other sites like RentFromAVillager. During high season, houses are rented for the 3 months. Shoulder seasons, one month. Summer will be shorter stays (or else the houses would be empty). Anyway, lots of great info in those 2 places for you.
