Renting a week?
 

Besides airbnb and v rbo are there any other place to rent for 5 days? we want to meet some friends that are going down for the lifestyle stay. Lifestyles is sold out.

I would stay in a hotel.

a hotel, or stay with your friends

Was on there also, looks like mostly seasonal rentals. Thanks

It depends on which week. Snowbirders will be returning, starting in a couple of weeks. Anything that -would- be available, might already be spoken for so late in the game. You should definitely check on hotels in the area.

rentfromavillager dot com has hundreds of homes for rent.

you did not way what week? I would tell your friends to cancel the lifestyle and rent a 3/2 home with you? You will have fun!

You might want to rent or borrow a golf cart for a day or too to see if you like that option.
If you can I would try and rent where you think you want to buy for a couple of months.
Remember this is your home and not a vacation spot so pay attention to shopping, dr's etc.

Rent
 

Was there in Feb just for a day and hung out with my sister's friends that live there, and they showed us around. Bottom line is if we move there we plan on renting for a year for sure. Plus who know what this country's is in for after Nov 5. Thanks for the info.

Weekly Rentals Available.
 

During the off season, I offer 3 homes with golf carts for weekly rental via villagershomes4rent.com coded as #9512, #9513, #9514.

Not much of a lifestyle visit staying in a hotel.

Check out Rent From A Villager Rent From A Villager | Rental Homes in The Villages Florida | Advertise Your Village Rental Use the search filters to put in the days you are looking for and all the available homes will pop up for you. :024: Good Luck !

The Waterfront Inn or Brownwood Hotel may be good for a short visit. Check them out too.

Years ago my Realtor got us a discount at the hotel in lake Sumter. I think if you have family here they can get you a discount at that hotel.

Hotel
 

Brownwood hotel very nice reasonably priced.

Most of the lifestyle visit houses are very large with extra room you would probably fit in very well in their home.

Villages Hometown Property Management is worth checking out. I just searched a random week in November (not Thanksgiving) and it returned 185 homes.

You might need to rent 7 days rather than 5 but even if you left early you should still get more for your money than if you stayed at a hotel.

I think it depends on the number of people. When I moved to The Villages, I lived at the Comfort Suites in Spanish Springs for 2 months (December and January). It was actually cheaper than renting a house. They cleaned my room and provided a free breakfast. I could walk to the square, and it was a few steps away from Chili's.

Right. My Lifestyle Visit was 3 bedrooms/2 bath Courtyard house, like most are. I brought my dear friend to stay with me We each had our own bedroom & bathroom. My daughter & her friend came up to visit. Plenty of room. Everyone had a great time. I enjoyed having others take a look around & they gave me their opinions. Helped me feel very confident in my decision.

There’s a newer Home2Suites by Hilton in Wildwood near Brownwood Square too. H2S includes a basic breakfast & has in-room kitchenette with micro, fridge & dishes.Daily room cleanings.. H2S are also modern & nice but affordably priced.

When are you looking to rent a place ?

We also live in TX, DFW area.

Sept 18-22, I guess less than a week.

We used VillagersHomes4Rent when we could only come down for a week at a time. There are weekly rentals available, sometimes you just have to email the owner to find out.

Keep in mind - if you're considering the advice of people suggesting you stay with your friends at their lifestyle visit.

The contract they sign to stay in those lifestyle properties are based on double occupancy. It's actually in the contract. We questioned it, because we wanted my parents to come see the houses we were looking at, and the community itself. They told us they didn't mind if my parents stayed overnight for a night or two, but any more than that would be against the contract and potentially cost a lot more money.

I got an infraction for my post. Give me a break.

Wise council

I know there are people that rent out rooms on a daily/weekly/month basis. I know of one, but not going to give out their number without asking them.
