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

Oh and while you are there I am sure you will get lost looking at all the other information. One visit and you will be sure to get a great feeling for TV, a few visits and you will know your way around. Get a map, the $5 one. If you go out with a TV sales rep ask for one or you can buy it.

Good luck and have fun!
Oh and another place to find rentals is CraigsList, Ocala. That is how I rented on my first visit.
