Pimlico regional rec center and family pool is just around the corner on Belvedere and the neighborhood pool is on Churchill. You can walk to both. But a cart is more fun. We live in Belmont Villas just off Thistledown.

Larry, when we were thinking of buying in TV we rented from Karen on Thistledown Way. If you are renting her gorgeous Oleander you struck gold. She was the perfect landlord and could not do enough for us. We rented for two Summers and were so in love with her home that we purchased an Oleander/Mandevilla. You are central to everything and 10 min to Sumter. Enjoy!!!

Duffysmom-Yes I am renting Karen's house in Aug..it looks lovely from pics and she seems great. I'll be there the first week by myself, the second with my daughters, and the last by myself again. This is going to be a experience for me as I try to combine vacation with work as financial advisor as I need to stay in contact with my clients. BTW what kind of dog dog you have in your pic?


Russ..as a UCONN Huskie fan, I thought BigEast was appropriate. Its important to support our local teams in CT. Ironically I will be taking my youngest daughter to Gainsville for a tour of the U of FL. Does that mean if I become a Villager and she goes there I will have to change my name ? What if I am a snowbird...Then I'm in real trouble ...lol...Any recommendations on driving route down?

Larry,

Go Huskies! (I have that allegiance for basketball, but, as my daughter went to Clemson, I have become a Tiger fan as well - esp football).

Don't know where you are up there - but we have been making this trip so often I thought I would add my two cents...

This route is precipitated on the key trafficky areas being in NYC/NJ and Baltimore/DC. While a 95 route looks shorter - it can be much longer if you get hung up in traffic and is far more stressful to drive,

We were in Branford, CT so took 95 to the Merritt Parkway and then to 287 over the Tappan Zee Bridge. Stay on 287 to avoid the tolls in NJ and take it to Route 80.

Stay on 80 through PA to near Harrisburg. From there take 81 south through VA and NC to Charlotte. In Charlotte take 77 south that will take you through SC.

This will get you to 95. Stay on 95 to near Jax - and then take 301 to TV.

k

PM if you want to talk this through...

My avatar is Duffy; he's a maltese and one of reasons we rented from Karen. She allows small dogs and her home is immaculate so not to worry. Karen lives in the area so she's always available to give advice about driving routes and anything else you need to know. Enjoy!!

These are the sites I have checked for rentals: www.thevillages4rent.com, www.****.com and the classified ad section, furnished homes for rent of www.thevillagesdailysun.com. Good luck with your rental search.
