Like it or not, in most of the Villages short term rentals are not prohibited.

If you feel differently, exercise your rights (responsibility, actually) under the enforcement clause of the deed restrictions you signed and take the offenders to court. If you fail to do that, if you fail to perform your responsibility under that clause, are you not violating the restrictions yourself?
Have read the restrictions multiple times for our district, and never stopped in the middle of the sentence. It’s clear as the day is long, short term rentals, in a home where the homeowner are concurrently living and renting out a room, is clearly against two deed restrictions. I even talked with a representative of the developer, who recluctantly acknowledged that fact. Unfortunately, it is an internal deed restriction, and the enforcement of the restrictions are at the discretion of the developer. The excuses for reasons to not enforce the restrictions were clearly coming from a prepared damage control punch list. At the end of the day, the whole situation completely discredits the whole deed restriction concept. Selectively enforcement, based on the enforcing parties clear and obvious financial interests, is an absolute joke.
