If you are from an area with few cases of COVID-19 you might want to stay at home.
The people in the real estate business will say “Come On Down” but I plan to take a vacation from TV to a place like Montana where the COVID-19 rates are low.

Honestly I personally don’t believe in renting. Guess I should have looked into that more. I thought this would be more exclusive that is why we pay HOA fees. If you just let anybody in here what’s the point of us paying for these “privileges” if I didn’t care about renters and vacationers then I would have moved into condos on the beach. Sorry I just thought it would be different. I wouldn’t care to have a neighbor who is constantly renting to whoever and me not really knowing who my neighbors are from time to time. The world is bad enough now I have to maybe worry who is renting by me.

I would assume a renter for a month would appropriate the owner’s passes for the $50 fee and not deal with guest passes. Renters really aren’t guests. That is a valid point though and something for the renter to look into.

We all live in the United States of America. You do not need anyone’s permission to move about the 50 States. I find it very sad that you Feel that
would require it.

New Yorkers have suffered greatly as a result of the CV. It's not their fault that this awful plague has landed on their laps. If they own homes here, why shouldn't they be here as long as they have been cleared medically?

There are no HOA fees in The Villages. You are probably right, you should have done more research and asked more questions, this has never been sold as a an exclusive or gated community. We moved here six years ago and have never been disappointed, but we rented for three years before moving, attended CDD meetings and talked to neighbors. We love the snowbirds, bring a new life for a few months, spend their money then give it back to us full timers.

Welcome! TV has "seasons" just like other parts of the country. The seasons here are a bit different. Summer, for example, is mostly hot, humid with the likelihood of afternoon thunder showers. Hard core "tropical".
If you have been here in the fall or winter will give you a whole different perspective on what us full timers love or hate about summer here. Thank goodness we have so many pools.
So, come on down but be prepared to sweat a bit.

Either way..............C'mon down!

Anyone willing to spend July in Central Florida is to be respected.

Craig, I’d be happy to rent you my house😁

Florida's friendliest home town. By reading all of the responses, anyone can tell how friendly it really is. Sounds more like Florida's friendliest business.

Well, going to be very warm here during the month of July, but that said, come on down! Should have no trouble finding a rental for July
