Pamela,
Ignore the "noise" here on this site...funny, but true as well.
Renting a house for one month next March is going to be very difficult as so many snowbirds and previous renters have renewed for 2023.
If your friends from Georgia can rent here in TV for multiple months that makes it easier.
Sometimes the rental websites have a checkbox for pets.... They may want to search both ways even for "no pets" houses and then describe to the owner.
Also there are multiple websites where owners post their listings. check out the rentals page on
The Villages 101 The Villages 101
And keep those searches going on a weekly basis as there may be cancellations.
