How many times have you heard these requests for help?

My wife and I have been seriously thinking of moving to The Villages by the later part of 2012. However, we want to make a couple of vacation visits to the area. We are looking to make our first visit in the middle of December 2011 for one maybe two weeks, the second visit sometime summer of 2012.

There is an overwhelming amount of info here and apparently I'm not refining my searches well enough. We need help.

First, are there homes within The Villages that would rent like this or can someone suggest to us who to talk to on a place to stay?

Do we need to go through an agent for help? Can you provide us with some information as to what we should do, who can we talk to, recommendations on what to plan for, etc. We both are in our mid fifties. I'm retired and my wife will be working a few more years. We want to be active and socialize. We enjoy eating out, cooking out on the grill and just want to live our lives as worry free as possible. Although this criteria is our hope, we would like to be looking at an area of single family homes around five years old or less, with a view of water or golf course.

Any tips or help to make our first visit a success would be greatly appreciated. We are looking forward to having "The Villages" style of retirement, just as your television commercial advertises.

Sincerely, Roy
RCM1210 - Welcome to TOTV I believe the Lifestyle Preview Visits are between 4 and 10 days, and I believe you would call The Villages sales office to arrange one of those -- someone correct me if I'm wrong on that. If you want to rent a home for a couple of weeks or one or more months, try www.thevillages4rent.com. I rented in July through this web site, and I am renting again in October through this web site. The Daily Sun classified ad section, furnished homes for rent, may also be of help to you in looking for a rental home. That web site is: www.thevillagesdailysun.com. Good luck to you.
