I have made a reservation for a Lifestyle Preview Visit in October. Although I have rented in TV several times already, I thought I had better take advantage of the Lifestyle Preview Visit while they are still available.

I am trying to think where in Lake Sumter Landing the Creekside Cabanas are, but I can’t picture where they are located. Where exactly in Lake Sumter Landing are the Creekside Cabanas?

Are the Creekside Cabanas only used for LSV’s, or do residents live in some of them?

I’m not going to watch a lot of television, but just want to know if there is cable or satellite dish available in the LSV cabanas.

Do the Creekside Cabanas have lanais? I looked at the virtual tour of the Cabana, but only the kitchen, dining room, living room and bedrooms were shown.

A few weeks ago there was thread about a visitor not being told there was no WI-FI available in the Creekside Cabanas, and apparently that was quite a problem for this person. The lady who handled my reservation yesterday mentioned there is no WI-FI available in the Creekside Cabanas; maybe the reservationists have been told to mention this now to people when a reservation is made.

Anyway I am looking forward to it -- counting the days already...

Creekside Landing is located on Old Mill Run, just off Buena Vista. Merryweather Way is the main street in Creekside, if you want to google it. There are residents living in some of the homes, and some are used for LSV's.
Have fun !

It's a lovely place. Our friends for thirty years just used it two months ago for their LSV and they had a pretty villa with a lanai, golf cart and bike. Right down the street from the square and close to everything.

AND guess what? They bought a house that just went up for sale NEXT DOOR to US!!

Watch out you two who like to beat on me. I am gonna be even MORE positive and kool aidy and Pollyannaish. I am so HAPPY!!

we stayed there in 2010 and loved the floor plan but not the garage...close to lsl.....we were told at booking there was no wifi..not a problem for us who does not have an iphone or ipad these days...even my 85 year old dad uses his phone to take care of his business

rayschic, I looked up Merryweather Way on Mapquest -- now I can picture where it is in Lake Sumter Landing based on where it is in relation to some of the restaurants -- thank you for the address.

Stayed in a villa in Creekside in March of this year during our Life Style stay. It was a 2 bedroom with 2 baths and was very nice. It's within easy walking distance of Lake Sumter Town Center. We were provided a golf cart and 2 bicycles.

WiFi was not available but we would walk to Panera Bread each morning with our laptop and iPad and catchup on emails and news.

Barnes & Noble bookstore has the closest Wi-Fi to the Creekside villas. Every morning while the wife was getting ready I made the short drive over there to their parking lot to log on & check the newest real estate listings & open houses. Enjoy your stay!

We stayed last year in a 3 bedroom Creekside villa. We had WIFI and cable. Ours was not a LSV as we could not get one despite our best efforts. Ours was a private home the owner rented out. I loved the closed lanai, and the privacy of both a back and side yard. Neighbors were lovely and gave me a tour of their unit, which had a layout that I liked even more than ours. Our owner provided golf cart and bikes. It was so close to LSL that we often walked. Bottom line is that even though this was our first and only visit to TV, we ended up loving TV so much that we put a deposit on a lot, started the build a few months ago and we settle in less than two weeks. TV here we come! (As soon as we finish packing and close on this house).

I will be coming the 3rd week of July for a Lifestyle visit and staying at Creekside, and will look at new homes during my visit. I have Verizon hotspot, so hopefully WI-FI will not be a problem.

The best solution to having wifi is getting your own hotspot (mifi). Recently my ATT web DSL service was out for 4 days for the whole area. Forget ATT reliability! Anyway, after 2 days I went to Walmart (or whatever you call it) and found a 'pay as you go' hotspot (mifi) called "Internet to Go". It's on the Sprint network which coverage is not as good as Verizon but the cost is much less and you don't have to pay monthly charges like Verizon. Only what you use and the time doesn't expire. Much like Tracfone. Cost of the unit was $80. The pay as you go cards are in increments of 10, 25 and 45 dollars. The 25 that I bought gives you 1.5 GB of usage. The unit is so small you can fit it in a shirt pocket! Easy set up and decent service plus you can hook up to 5 devices to it at one time. If you only use it for email and websurfing, it will last quite a while before you need to buy more time. So far, I'm happy.

The cabanas are a great deal
Ours had cable tv but hardly used it
Came w a golf cart but, but, super slow
Be warned
The cabanas' location is amazing though.
You will love it
Enjoy!
Gracie, congrats!

What a nice post. Good luck with your move to TV, and enjoy your impending transition to froghood.
