Visit question
 

If I were to come in February @ the TownePlace Suites with 2 small dogs, are there restaurants with outside seating that allows pets?
I just want to rent a cart and see TV. Maybe go in some open houses. I don't think I could leave my dogs in a hotel. I am one of those people. I am to far
away from retirement to do the LSV. 5 years. I have been unable to find a house for a week @ that time.

We travel a lot with two dogs. It's been our experience that all pet-friendly hotels prohibit leaving dogs in the hotel room when you are absent. There are a few restaurants in The Villages that allow dogs on the patio, not a lot. As far as attending Open Houses, I don't think Agents would allow you to take dogs into houses that are for sale.

I know the answer to the dogs/restaurants question because I asked specifically at several restaurants when we were there in October. The answer is "no", they don't allow them in their outdoor seating areas. However, many of them have a situation where you could sit at a table next to the fencing and have your pups just on the other side of the fence, so they are on public property, but are close enough to be with you. Does that make sense?

There are small dogs everywhere in TV, obviously well loved. They are all well groomed and made my two look like chopped liver! Good luck with your visit.

It will be cool in February, so you could leave the dogs in the car for short periods of time while viewing open houses.

One option would be to leave them in ILL.

NOT barf barf

5 years away from retirement is not too soon for a LSV, outside of renting a place for a month I think LSV's are one of the best ways to find out if you would like living in TV

I would like to do that, but they are only 3 days.
I thought I would save that for now.

Actually they are between 3 and 6 or 7 days I forget now and they are not a 1 shot thing. My wife and I came on 3 LSV before we moved

:pepper2:We leave our large dog in hotel rooms with no problem, must leave them a cell #in case of problem.That is the HOTEL, not the dogs! LSV do not allow pets,but they are for stays from 3 to 14 days. They include a cart W/rental. :spoken:

I have seen little dogs sitting under tables outside at City Fire.

:what:We leave our large dog in hotel room, just need to leave a cell #at desk in case of a problem. LSV is from 3 to 14 days, but do not allow pets, they do supply cart.:spoken:

TownePlace Suites will allow you to leave you dogs as long as they don't bark continuously. Ours kept barking so we had to find someone that would board them at the last minute and fortunately it worked out nicely. If your dogs won't bark they would be fine if you left them alone for short periods of time. Hope you enjoy your visit.

Interesting.
coming up in January and we were told the max was 7 days.

Just my two cents worth.

Lifestyle visits are currently up to 7 days. We are coming in Jan with our dog for a 7 day visit. You just pay extra for the dog.
