My heart is still in the Villages. I can't believe I fell in love the first time I saw it. We have been looking on-line since Jan and finally were able to see it first hand. You can't explain how wonderful it is until you see it for yourself.Our house is for sale in Ca. and I can't wait to be back in TV. There was no pressure .



You said it so beautifully. It is the most perfect place to live and every time I leave it I feel sad and every time I return I am so glad to be home.

We visited my daughter last wkend in the Ft Lauderdale area.. Miramar,, which is a beautiful area but I found myself feeling sorry for the people there ---only that they didn't live in The Villages like we did.. I couldn't wait to get back to this clean, relaxing , beautiful place.. sometimes I have to pinch myself that I am lucky to live here..

My wife and I made our first visit about the area and not the homes. We rented a golf cart and spent three days just liking around, enjoying the entertainment, the shops and talking to all the people around us. We knew we would find a home we loved, but it was the area and people we wanted to see first. Our second visit was with the sales office. Then we bought. It's all about what you want to see the first time out. We are not good with tours, I feel I get more results on my own without the sales pitch. We love it here.

Thanks to all for your responses. You've all been so helpful.

Another question perhaps someone can help with.

When I checked to make our reservation for a visit over the Christmas holiday, I was told they are only taking reservations until the end of August and have not opened reservations for December yet.

Does anyone know when the December reservations might be open to book? The reservation center said they didn't know, but I would think they have a rough idea from previous years?

I guess, I'm just excited and want to know I have it booked.

Thanks again.

For an alternative to the Preview Lifestyle visit, check us out on airbnb. We have really enjoyed meeting guests that are interested in The Villages.
