The Lifestyle Visits (LSV) usually need to be booked about 3 months in advance. If you were to call today you might be able to get in during July or August. At those months it would be $100 a day, you can stay between 4 and 14 days I believe. They will normally put you in a new furnished courtyard villa near Lake Sumter Landing. They'll get you information, coupons and bicycles and a golf cart. For more information go to this link: The Villages - Florida's Friendliest Retirement Hometown

If you're coming sooner, there is a hotel at Lake Sumter Landing called the Waterfront Inn and is about $130 a day. From Orlando Int'l Airport you could rent a car or take the Villages shuttle, they have one just about every hour and it's about a 90 minute ride for $35 to Lake Sumter Landing near the Waterfront Hotel. There is also a Hampton Inn about two miles north of Lake Sumter on CR 466 that is about $90 per day and 3 other motels at Spanish Springs, which is the original square and they are about $90 a day as well. Spanish Springs is not near any of the new construction but there are many resales available in the older areas north of CR 466.
