There are multiple options. You can check RVBO (same as OHMEAWAY), IZLLOW (.com for all) (first 2 letters reversed due to some sort of obfuscation within this site??) and others if you Google “rentals the villages Florida”. The issue you’ll have right now is this is prime season and most places are booked for vacationers escaping the cold. So homes aren’t sitting around unrented - especially for multiple months. I list my homes on the first one but the prime months are basically rented a year ago. If you come down in the summer, you’d have lots of options.

Please ask hometown property to work with you on 1849 Alton street in Linden. We rented the house for January and February. We ended up buying a house so don’t need the rental. Last I looked it is available for several months. It is a nice house in a good location.

We are on **** in historic, we are booked for Jan and mar...so Feb is open and wide open after March. The place has recently had lots if updates made. Check us out

We own a patio villa in Collier. We advertise on VH4R Home Rentals in The Villages Florida The VIllages Rentals. We may be able to accommodate your rental dates. Just message me if you'd like more information. Good luck!

Renting for a time is in my opinion a great idea. It is opinion. I've heard of people buying homes without even visiting the villages or seeing the home or at least a completed models. We as we were working could not as you have decided, wisely to do.
We did THREE TIMES use that service where the Villages allows you to rent a new home at a very reasonable price. It was a long time ago that we did this. If, I recall the limit was maximum of two weeks and it included a golf cart and bicycles. Pressure to buy is very minimal.

As to why people listing to rent who you contacted and did not bother to reply. Perhaps, they did not get your message? Perhaps, they were too rude to bother to treat others as they would want to be treated? If, the second is true, my opinion, they are not the kind of people I would want to deal with so you have not missed anything.

You did not say WHEN. Right now, it is holiday season. People looking to rent may be visiting relatives etc. Covid 19 may also complicate what should be, ought to be and was in the past. The past-last year.

There is a house the couple just bought and have listed for rent with remax. Its in pine ridge on kramer court.

I rented from villages property and they were awful ! My Villa had sewer back up in Fenny 4 times in 6 weeks finally had to dig underground ! They tried to keep security deposit on put on Visa I turned in dispute took 6 months for it to end in my favor.

Go on next door, go on FB ! Private renters are more honest than the villages
