I'm amazed that you even got a 2nd LSV as folks we know were denied same. It didn't help that they turned down all invitations to look at houses etc.

Same 6 day stipulation 8 years ago. As someone suggested doing, we stayed at Holiday Inn Express (before Sumter landing was built) near Spanish Springs the extra days.

I think that 6 days is plenty long for a LSV. The purpose of the LSV is to introduce The Villages to perspective buyers and to show off our lifestyle. It is NOT to provide an inexpensive vacation to those who just want to send the winter in Florida. Personally, I think that one LSV should be enough.
After the first visit, perspective buyers should rent for as long as they want to stay.

Trust me, I'm NOT looking for an inexpensive vacation...the hotels are cheaper. The first time we came down, we were totally unfamiliar with TV...the only reference I had was the video. Now that we have visited there for 4 days, I now know exactly what I want to look for when we come down to invest our money in a property. FYI...most of the weekly rentals I have looked at were less money than the LSV also...but I couldn't find one available that would fit my time frame. Frankly, I'm offended at your suggestion that I'm looking for a cheap vacation.

Cheap shot.
It's TV properties and they can do as they see fit and they see fit to allow repeat visits 'cause they know it sells homes.
