not sure where to look for this
 

We have a dear friend (70 yr old female) looking for just a room to rent from another female for a month. Any websites for this? Not sure where to look or if this is even possible.

Good luck but why in the world would someone want a roommate for one month? All kinds of things could happen most of them bad

I just Googled "rooms for rent in The Villages". Give it a try.

Try Airbnb. Lots of rooms for rent in The Villages.

Another option is to rent a room in a hotel, like Comfort Suites in Lady Lake. They have long term discount rates. Free breakfast.

And every one of the people renting the room in their house, while they live there, is violating a couple deed restrictions. But since the violations never seem to be enforced, go for it. Lots of rooms are typically available.

because she doesn't want to do the lifestyle stuff, she wants to experience it at her own pace, who knows maybe gain a friend.

Maybe, Midiwiz, you could try posting your request on Next Door on behalf of your friend and provide some general background info on her.

Hopefully she is an honest lady but in this world who knows.

People actually let strangers live with them?

I used AirBNB when I was first checking out this area. The monthly rate was steep, but that's all I could find. Also used **** on the gulf coast of Florida. She'll want to have parking possibility if she brings her car, or have a golf cart available. There's very limited ways to travel otherwise.

Wow, it won't allow me to write the other way to find homes to rent that starts with a V

Huh? I don't understand your post.

Leesburg's Lee Motel and Candlelight Motel both rent rooms by the hour, day, week, or month for what best suits one's needs. I've never spotted any police activity in their parking lots. Just keep the door locked approaching sunset and pick up some fast food beforehand. Dollar General and Spin City (for self-service laundry) look to be within walking distance if you need any convenience items. Both locations should be easy on the budget.

It’s the other website similar to Airbnb.

Friends rent
 

If you don't have a place yet, you can contact me. I have 2 friends who rent out their spare bedroom.

I have a friend that would like to rent to your friend. She has done this before. Right now she is in Michigan and will be back January 3rd. If you want to contact her send me a personal message.

:undecided: Am I the only person who thinks there is an obvious question that has not been asked yet? :popcorn:

Agree ! While caution is always the key, a 70 something female, considering the villages for a permanent home, may feel very "alone" (people differ) in a hotel room; where staying for a short period with another female of similar age, could result in a much more realistic experience of everyday life, than a hotel room experience with a villages sales person only. And, as someone pointed out, being invited in the mornings, to share a cup of coffee and the previous day's impressions of The Villages could result in a good friendship should the person decide this is the place for them ! Also: could work out to be more affordable; a month in a hotel, even at a reduced rate, can be much more costly than paying for an extra bedroom in someone's home. Might not seem such a "big deal" to some, but think about the expense should the person be considering a number of retirement communities in several states ! Have a cousin with only ONE pension who settled on a community similar to the V's but in another state. Just the air fare alone really dug into her down payment as she investigated possible locations. I think many times people are sincere in their answers and attempts to give helpful advice, but they often do not think beyond their own financial status. Don't think this is purposeful "tone deafness", but a tendency to never consider people's circumstances differ so widely. A single person on their own to chose a retirement area, could have substantial financial assets, yet not be particularly "brave" about traveling and staying alone ! ?

Airbnb and ****

OBRV spelled backwards?

contact me at negal-13@outlook.com or 386-626-1945 and I may be able to help her out.

Look at my previous post that has **** instead of the "VR_O" word I wrote down.

Would renting a bed room be running a business?
