Our Villa has incredible location, elegant décor and charm in the heart of The Villages, just a short golf cart ride from Lake Sumter Town Square, with more than 10 restaurants IN THE SQUARE plus entertainment galore. The pools and recreation center are just a short cart ride away from the villa.

The Villa is beautifully decorated and sleeps 6 comfortably, with dining for 6 inside and out, ideally situated in the Village of Sabal Chase, considered to be one of the most ideal areas of the Villages ... the neighborhood near Sumter Landing Town Square with shopping, restaurants, golf and activities.

This home has been lovingly upgraded to a high standard to provide a luxurious stay. The interior rooms are filled with light, feature volume ceilings and give you a perfect place to entertain or wind down and relax. This is an elegant home with every amenity, giving you luxury and comfort to enjoy.

*PERFECT LOCATION -
Located near the Bacall Recreation and Pool Complex, our Sabal Chase location is ideal for all amenities ... FREE golf, access to all the facilities and pools and billiards, tennis, pickle ball, shuffle board, horse shoes, bocce ball, petanque, polo fields, baseball fields, basketball courts, free wifi in all those facilities as well as the home, entertainment every night in the town squares, croquet fields - and the equipment for all the sports.

And don’t forget that the golf is free on any of the 32 Executive Golf Courses with your Resident ID! Or pay a small premium and play one of the 12 Country Club Championship Courses such as The Arnold Palmer or Nancy Lopez Courses. Plus all the latest courses in the Fenney area.

*RESTAURANTS AND COUNTRY CLUB EATING -
There are great restaurants around the area. Try any of the Country Clubs that usually have music or entertainment as well. The closest county club is Mallory, and it has specials on its menu every day and evening.

We also enjoy going to the Town Square where a dozen or so restaurants are located, many with outdoor eating. You’ll be spoiled for choice!

And most of all we love going to the Town Squares from 5-9pm for the free entertainment and dancing on the Square. They serve 2 for 1 beer and wine from 5 to 6 pm each night and supply chairs for you to enjoy the music!

The Lake Sumter Square is easily accessible by golf cart! It’s amazing to see so many golf carts which people use instead of their car. It’s a fun way to take advantage of Florida’s wonderful warm weather.

If you want to eat in, there is a Winn-Dixie market conveniently located in the Sumter Town Square area, so you will never run out of essentials.

*QUIET, CHARMING & CONVENIENT –

The home is in Sabal Chase, very near to Lake Sumter Landing Town Square. In the Master Bedroom there is a King Bed for 2 with adjoining bath, a 2nd bedroom with an Imperial Queen for 2 also with adjoining bath. In addition, there is a comfy Serta sofa bed for the 5th and 6th visitors. All linens and the guest duvets are supplied.

You’ll have cookware and china in the kitchen and dining areas, and all linens and towels for your use.

If you are considering exploring outside the Villages, such as Orlando or Disney, you can easily rent a car (with Enterprise located right in Sumter Town Square) and take in the Disney attractions about an hour away, and all that Orlando has to offer. Or travel further afield and take in the renowned Florida beaches.

*AIRPORT TRANSPORT OPTION / EARLY CHECK-IN -
You might want to take advantage of The Villages Transport that will pick you up at the Orlando Airport for a small fee and deliver you back again at the end of your stay. Many visitors to the Villages feel that there is really no need for a car, as your golf carts can take you most places. We live here and we find that we rely on our carts more than our car, and it's a lot more fun to feel the fresh air and spirit of the Villages on the cart trails.

Check in is normally 2 pm, and check out 11 AM. However early check in can be accommodated if the home is available before 2pm.

*LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION...
RIGHT in the HEART OF THE VILLAGES

It is nice to stroll or jog or bike along the tree lined golf cart paths. It's truly beautiful with it's Old Florida Oaks, moss, and foliage. And don’t forget the activities! As a renter you can partake of the 3000 clubs – yes 3000 – covering every imaginable interest, sport or art! People are friendly and are use to newcomers popping in for a Club activity. There is a weekly ‘Rec News’ available at all the Rec Centers on Thursday with the weekly activities and locations. Or check the Villages TV and radio stations for announcements.

If the 3000 FREE Clubs and FREE golf aren’t enough, you can join a short term class at The Lifelong Learning Center in the Villages for a small fee.

*3 EXTRA BENEFITS OUR GUESTS ENJOY!!! -

1. LOCATION - you'll be in heart of the gorgeous Villages - walk or take a cart ride to restaurants galore, or shop 'til you drop in the Town Square. Or jump on your cart for a ride to the Country Club for lunch, dinner or GOLF.

3. CHARMING DECOR - relax and soak up the charm! It’s your vacation – why not make it memorable with a quality home.

*WHAT WE LIKE MOST ABOUT OUR VILLAGES HOME -
We fell in love with this property because if it's Location and Charm.

Not noisy, yet in the heart of everything, with everything available. We especially love the proximity to Lake Sumter Landing Town Square with all it’s amenities – less than 5% of Village home have that luxury!

We also love the Screened Lanai, that gave us a retreat to curl up with a book while others go about their activities. It was also a great place for breakfast, or a glass of wine in the evening, soaking up the great Florida weather!

Mature dogs will be considered, and the pet fee is only $100 for the entire stay. Sorry no cats as we have allergies.

Beautiful home
The house was as beautiful as described. Great location too. Golf cart rode well. We used uber after dark rather than maneuver it at night. We were warned that we had to wash & dry sheets & towels. I would not choose to do that again. I prefer the cleaning company do all that. However it was stated b4 hand so that’s on me. The owners were terrific. FYI there is no coffee so bring some with you! The neighbors were friendly as well.

Overall was just ok. Could have been cleaner. Some items in disrepair, such as a missing smoke detector in the hallway and porch ceiling fan blades needing replacing. The golfcart had a flat tire after a few miles, and by the visual condition of that tire, was obvious we lost that round of "musical chairs." The 24hr golfcart maintenance number was a non-starter, answering on the stormy night, but unable to effect repair on the weekend. A spare tire was expected from them next morning, but they finally called at dinner time--no help. The linens washing/bed making requirement is new to us, and our booking was the day prior, so refund/cancellation not an option. In light of the housekeeping chores required, the random 10:00am checkout time is too early, without purpose. Checkout should be noon, or even later, as the "cleaning" is nearly done.

I thought it was good overall…great location. They could use a couple of items. Cookie sheets, clocks, and more comfortable porch furniture. Could also use a full length mirror. I feel like with a vrbo however I should not have had to buy my own toilet paper and paper towels, nor should I be required to wash sheets and make up beds if I am paying a cleaning fee.

The location was great. Short distance from Square I did have to clean glass ware before we could use it. We could still see lip marks on glasses. I had to clean coffee pot. It was very brown stained. My husband had to clean both toilets before we could use them. Very dirty under the lid. We exited after putting clean linen on beds.

Checking out the Villages
The only thing we saw wrong was that it advertised free golf and we had to pay $11 for the executive courses and between $24 and $60 for the championship courses depending on what time of day you wanted to play. The villa itself was perfect for us.
