Somehow, I don't think The Villages database on the number of occupants and their ages is very accurate. And, I don't think The Federal Government (HUD) audits the data or even cares.

Break a rule that disrupts their income, and the developer will come at you hard.

Is not this an example of short term rental business in a single residential home? Found on Facebook. Is this type of rental a business being run out of a villa and is it allowed per deed restriction?

Parents, aged 84, have one next door but it is not a registered ABnB. It is a sole owner personally doing the ads etc. Constant traffic. Some people nice some not. People complain about the. cleanliness of the house. No safe guards. It's terrible.

Are there any violations here?

Short term rentals seem like problems waiting to happen.

They are not waiting to happen, in my neighborhood they are already happening. One of my neighbors has one next door that is making her miserable.

The whole situation has gotten out of hand. County governments need to get a handle on this. Maybe they could grandfather current situations, regulate, inspect and close down rentals were needed. Pinches can be applied on cleanliness, time slotting terms and taxation.

Or, TV could just enforce the deed restrictions

This situation could result in The Villages becoming a less than desirable place to purchase a private home. It would behoove the developer to endorse the deed restrictions.

Luckily our neighborhood doesn't have many rentals. But we realize that can change at any time. I'm not as worried about long term as I am short term, but I still prefer getting to know my neighbors. And we love the ones we have.

It would be nice if there wasn't any short term rentals but I don't think they can regulate that.

Theft of service is 7 people under 55 living in an Airbnb and the landlord doesn't pay a dime more than me in amenities.

Exactly. A fun couple of days, zero responsibilities and stealing amenities cost us all more. Airbnbs should all pay a large tax to community development instead of allowing theft. It kind of reminds me of Netflix before they cracked down.

A quick internet search at Airbnb even has a 2 week old new home available

Access Denied

This home is on Newel Loop; new construction with building going on around it.

I hear T V lost one in the millions. Not sure what the details were. I am sure someone on here knows.

Does anyone think the POA would take this on? Are any of you members?

Rationalization is a wonderful thing...

Well that might explain it! A neighborhood pool, which was regularly not crowded for many years during the “busy” season, was so crowded this year - mostly by under 40 year olds, that I couldn’t find a free chair and I had to cart to another pool. Which meant not being able to talk and socialize with my pool friends. This is an established area and the amount of renters was shocking they are actually elbowing out the residents.

I would recommend /not/ clicking on the above link. First off - it's a link found on a Facebook group page and their admin doesn't vet their contributors or the links they post.

Second - a simple search for "endlesssummerace" returns - nothing. Except that post on Facebook.

Third - wix is a cloud server hosting service used often by phishing scammers. Even though wix itself is a legitimate service, it is popular with scammers because they also don't vet their subscribers.
