I just recently did that in May and ended up purchasing a lot to build on. If you are in a rental, I believe there is a visitor pass of some sort your lessor can get for you. I would contact a village sales agent to show you the different models and answer any questions you may have. Hope this helped! And enjoy your visit!
That's what I was thinking they meant........the Lifestyle Visit.
We were never told it could extend to 14 days.**

Ours was $125 x 4 days.

It was 4 days in a Designer Home (3 bedroom, 2 bath with Roman shower) in Creekside Landing on Merryweather Way....very close to Lake Sumter Landing and the Waterfront Inn. A golf cart and 2 bikes were in the garage. Very nice. Oversized back property with white picket fence.
Nice sized residential lanai. Very comfy setting.

They might opt to do that prior to their planned rental of the home.

We got very little in the way of "tickets"......one to the Savannah Center for the night we arrived (too exhausted to attend) and several 10% off discounts for eating in nearby restaurants coupons.

**We left after the 4 day LV and rented for one month from a private owner. Another beautiful pool home on a golf course.

It literally took a month to unwind and scope out the entire area..........memorizing where each village was........so it is a great idea for them to rent for six months prior to purchasing. This way they will not be rushed into anything. Makes a lot of sense.

They can leisurely "decide" rather than rush into buying and repenting at leisure. Or, "buyers remorse" as it is often called.
