If you are referring to The Villages Hometown Property Management company, that is actually a private company that is not owned by The Villages. I don't know if The Villages has a separate department that manages privately owned houses.

I am sadly sorry to say this, but I think Airbnb in TV is “too big to fail.” It’s too late to get out in front of Airbnb with rules now. A lawsuit by TV resident homeowners would fail.

Ten or fifteen years ago when boomers were beginning to buy to be residents, nobody could have seen something the size of Airbnb coming. Now, buyers who want the feel of a neighborhood would be wise to be aware and then decide how that makes them feel. Airbnb hanging out there is just another factor to weigh in the decision to buy or not.

Will the far south end of TV start to attract families who are destination Disney? Or has that already started?

We travel to Disney every 2-3 weeks, coming from the “south” why anyone would want to vaca here, and commute paying tolls, spend 65 minutes to 1.75 hours (accidents) driving to Disney would be wasted time.

There are hundreds of AnB within minutes of Disney and Universal sleeping 2 to 20 people, themed, starting at $79 night. Even my own family stays on property instead of free housing when park hopping.

At $79. a night, bleh. I think Boomer hit the nail on the head. Short trip to Disney and a good time to be had with the amenities here when not at Disney. The prices are right and security pretty good. Why not? The BnB ship has sailed in The Villages and there is no turning back.

Renting in TV has always been big, abnb is just a newer avenue, of site exposures. Still guessing TV isn’t the top rated area for families going to parks, unless they have family here. But that’s just my opinion, and the last 3 summers seem to have less and less kids in TV, at the pools and kids camp.

Stayed at 2 bed condo, from a Disney influencer, 11 minutes to MK parking, $81 with tax, very clean, No parking fee, and a great pool, restaurants, safe area,( if that really exists anymore). Marriott points, is really cheap, and a great resort stay, not Abnb but far less than anything in TV

If you read that with an unbiased view, it basically bans someone running a store or service company out of their house, which is totally reasonable to expect.

Definitely doesn't cover renting a home. If the CDD wanted that, they would just say no rentals allowed in plain language.

Or an unbiased view, business have people coming in day in and day out, like AirBnBs or something. Then you have maintenance workers cleaning up afterward and BAM here comes the next group.

Um ya, there is a reason to allow STRs, they operate just like businesses and any court or lawyer would call renters customers.

If short term rentals are banned, does that mean long term rentals are too?
Isn’t the only difference the term - both are businesses?

Who’s reporting all the people who actually run a business out of their house?

The people who sell stuff at the market days (i.e. the golf cart screen guy) - actually keeps inventory at home
The handi man or landscaper….

It’s all about enforcement. When one gets too out of hand, it gets brought to the attention of enforcement authorities. This happened in Clearwater and now they actually have companies or PIs who make money catching STR violations. It’s 250 a day per violation. The fine money pays for the PI and is a win-win.

By law they would have to be if they paid for the property use there was a monetary transaction. Law can differentiate for long term with the verb ages “One Time” written in. This term could be fulfilled if time exceeded a month.
