Unfortunately, because of Lifestyle Visits and the Villages company's rental division, you can't forbid short-term renters having passes.
However maybe the rules of the pools and amenities can be changed so that ONLY short-term renters who rent through the Villages holding llc can get those passes, and any other short-term renters must have an actual resident (snowbird or full time) accompanying them to any amenities.
The Villages Property Management does a pretty good job of vetting tenants for short-term stays, and maintaining the properties that it manages.
Another option would be to make it so that the only people who can rent short-term and get guest passes, are people renting in properties that are managed by an actual licensed property management company (not just the Villages PM). Airbnb tenants, or tenants of individuals who don't go through websites to rent - can't get guest passes unless they are IN the residence when their guests are there.
If they get caught letting guests use amenities when the resident is not in the community at the time, then they lose their right to having any guest passes for the next year. If they get caught doing it again, they lose their right to have any guest passes at all.
