Hello - my husband & I are going to be renting in The Villages during Jan/Feb/March of 2018, in fact we are now actively searching for a home to rent (BTW..we have one cat -she is declawed, all fours & letterbox trained, which is more than you can say for me! LOL). Looking for a home to rent for those 3 months, with a 4 seater golf cart (if possible). Also looking for suggestions and hints for first time visitors to The Villages. Also, does anyone know how much it would cost to rent a four seater cart if we can't find a home that has one? My husband & I are into country couples and line dancing...so suggestions about that will be helpful too. I'll be spending some time reading the posts on The Talk over the next several days. Looking forward to learning more about The Villages and the people of The Villages!

I had to laugh at myself when I saw 'the letterbox'!! LOL For some reason I am making more typos as I get older...either that, or there's an 'imp' somewhere that changes my e-mails and messages!! Thanks for the suggestions. We are looking forward to spending some time in The Villages and nice people like you are making our first stay here better before we get there!!

I agree April will be much cheaper to rent.
I would go to all three squares and the Eisenhower Rec Center. Talk to a anyone and everyone. Most people love to talk about TV and folks are really friendly. Get a gas cart to explore TV and it is enormous. BTW- You will love it here!

Looking forward to exploring TV! Most homes that rent have electric carts. Will they hold a charge long enough to be able to 'explore'?

If you are staying in the center, near Sumter Landing, and electric cart will get you as far north or south as you can possibly go, play 18, have dinner and dance, and then head home. However, if you are staying on one of the edges north or south, and are heading to the opposite end, playing golf, heading to Walmart, stopping back at Sumter, and then heading home you may be squeaking back in.

I sure appreciate all the suggestions and help. I am soon much looking forward to staying in TV. We owned a Winter home in a retirement community at Winter Haven until we sold it four years ago. I am hoping that my husband will like wintering in Florida so we can do this every year. I would move here full time if I could move our kids and grandkids all down here too! LOL

I rented a two-seater cart from The Villages Golf Carts and it was $18.00 per day. But I only rented it for a couple of days. I believe that the price per day goes down for longer term rentals.
I think a four-seater is only a few dollars more per day.

A couple of line dancing thoughts....
here is a link to a group of line dancers. VillageLineDancer.Com - Home You can also find line dancing classes in the community guide. The Villages - Community Calendar And also check the recreation guide for classes. http://www.thevillagesdailysun.com/a...es/recnews.pdf Line dance classes will lead you to line dance groups, line dance groups have regularly scheduled "socials" My wife and I dance weekly in the north east, when we are in the villages we have found two interesting differences. It takes a bit of effort to get "in" at the groups. Everyone is nice, but have patience it takes a little time to get the full welcome. Secondly, they dont call the dances like they do in the north east. They just play songs, no called dances, no called songs....a bit strange to us but....hey we are the newbies. We love the Lifestyle! |
