What neighborhoods would be more centrally located? (For the rental)?
I love trees also; good to know about the northern part also.
Also, we have 1 Sheltie now and have visited another Sheltie to adopt so 2 dogs, however, we may end up with 3 as someone called me about a smaller Collie puppy (so 3 dogs) - if we bought or rented, is 3 dogs an issue? All well behaved, walked on leash, etc.
It's not like we didn't work hard but I had to help my own parents financially (wonderful people) and then we had an awful thing happen in our lives which cost us almost everything.
There is 1 thing I am petrified of and that is snakes of any kind. I grew up on the East part of Broward County (Fort Lauderdale, Lighthouse Point) so I never saw them. So, if there are areas more wooded and have lakes with gators, let me know that too.
Thanks again!

In your previous post from yesterday you said you had "a small pet." Three shelties is not "a small pet." It sounds like you're confusing yourself, and aren't really understanding your own priorities.
Most rentals that allow pets, allow ONE pet. Not three. Especially since homeowners aren't supposed to have three pets, so why would they rent their home to someone who has three?
And a sheltie isn't all that small. They're also incredibly lively working dogs, and sidewalks are rare in The Villages. You'd have to walk all three on the street, and none of the homes have acreage large enough that you could let them out to run off all their natural energy. There are dog parks, if you don't mind your dogs rolling around in other dogs' pee and poop remnants and mud, and tracking it through your landlord's carpeting when you get back from their exercise.
I would either re-think adopting two more dogs just as you're preparing to convince your husband to take a month-long rental in someone else's home, OR - reconsider renting someone else's home.
