I was told in December about all the "extras" the Lifestyle Visit gives you. I thought what a deal!! After we got there in March, I called my realtor because I didn't get that coupon book that he promised me in December. According to him, The Villages stopped giving the "extras" in December. He said TV no longer has a need to give out the "extras".
In other words, we paid extra for the 3rd person and got a golf cart that wouldn't hold the 3 of us! Because, I had already was building my house we didn't even see the realtor!
Personally, I think it would have been a lot cheaper for us to rent a home with a 4 person golf cart. We still would have enjoyed the TV Lifestyle! We went to many open houses while we were there without a realtor.
That is just my observation!

Labs, you may want to check with the sales office to see what, if any, freebees are included. When we took an lsp two years ago, we got the villa, a golf cart, 2 bicycles, 2 rounds of golf each, free meals at two country clubs, and another resturaunt, free movie tickets, some other discounts, and free buckets of balls at the range. We also got resident passes to go anywhere in TV we wanted. It was a great deal, but if they are no longer offering freebees, you might want to check alternatives. Being the off season you can probably get some good rental or hotel offers. They may have chosen not to give sable the freebees because they had already purchased property and were not "prospects".
