Thanks for all the suggestions.
I think we will go another route and try for a weekly rental south of 466A with golf cart.
Wendyquat, I will PM you, I think we would enjoy ourselves more if we were renting a place in the Gilchrist area (ideally).
My Sales Agent said she could not get us into LSV lodging. We are booked for our Home Purchase trip in Nov. So that is set.
Thanks for all the helpful info! You guys never let me down!!

Where to stay?
 

We stay at this rental for the months of February and March. Wonderful unit and owners. They have availability for October 1-14. Centrally located in Hemingway. Send Mitzi an email if you are interested. She will get back to you immediately. On The Villages 4 Rent web site it is listing 1676.

TownPlace will give you their Villager discount. Tell them when you make reservations and stick a copy of your agreement to buy the lot in your bag in case they want proof. We stayed there last December over Christmas while waiting to close. I told them when I made reservations we were coming down to close. They were very nice and never did ask to see our card.

The Villages sales office can get you a LSV rental for 2-3 days before and during your design visit but if you go to Villages4rent and filter for weekly rental availability you will find quite a few willing to rent for a week during your time in TV.
