Luckily, there haven't been any AirBnB renters near us that I know of. I'm happy about that. However, I confess to having used AirBnB myself twice for overflow company, and once I used one of the hotels. Now that I've witnessed this place becoming more of a tourist destination and less of a community, I think I'll stick to hotels.

I never thought about looking at the deed restrictions in my area, because when we were thinking about buying in 2008, our sales agent with Properties of The Villages was very enthusiastic about putting us in a short-term rental for a few days. We did not come on a lifestyle visit. I figured if the developer condoned it and does it himself, then it must be "legal."

I would also favor limiting rental time. Where we lived prior to The Villages, rentals were limited to a minimum of three months. It worked well.
