I recently stayed at this vacation rental from May 27 to June 1, 2025, during a site visit, and I couldnât have asked for a better experience. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, and communication with them was outstanding throughout my stay. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free.The online listing was very accurateâwhat you see is exactly what you get. The rental was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. The location was also perfectâconveniently situated near restaurants, a supermarket, and The Villagesâ plaza squares, making it easy to explore and enjoy the area.A special thank you to Darinda for her generous hospitality. Her warmth and attentiveness truly made the stay memorable. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.
We needed a place to sleep and spend a few hours while visiting my mother in assisted living for a few days. We did not plan to cook and this place fit the bill. Our hostess was accommodating and welcoming. The entrance is from inside the garage but includes a parking spot in the garage. The yard is lovely and overlooks a stream with lots of trees. The place is clean and well-equipped. It is small but met our needs perfectly.
We loved our stay here, everything was perfect. Would highly recommend. Jim & Darinda were so nice to work with and very accommodating to anything we needed.
Great location and accommodations for a one month stay.
Jim and Dorinda were great hosts and we became friends almost immediately after arriving. Our friendship grew as we found to have so much in common. It was as if God directed us to their home. They did everything to make us feel at home. Including the repair of a beautiful park bench that sits in their back yard overlooking water and beautiful landscaping. This was a perfect place to sit every morning and watch the ducks while having my morning coffee. Thanks Dragons for your hospitality!
I will start by saying how sweet and considerate Jim and Darinda are. I drove in on Christmas Eve, and was immediately greeted by Jim, who took me around and showed me how to use Roku TV. That was totally unexpected and appreciated. On Christmas day Darinda showed up with a huge plate of delicious food! Are you kidding meâŠHow nice was that!
They have a beautiful home, and a nice cozy space for renters. It is perfect for one or two people. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood. I have never slept so well, in a very comfortable bed. I would definitely come backâŠI highly recommend.
Thanks, Jim and Darinda!
The in-law apartment worked well for me. The landlords were amazingly accommodating and a delight to deal with throughout my stay. The place was immaculately clean. Use of a golf club was such a plus. The landlords actually parked their personal auto outside the garage to allow me to park my vehicle inside the closed garage for the entire length of my stay. That alone speaks volumes as to the degree these quality folks will go to facilitate your stay.
This was my second time staying at this place. Perfect home base while visiting with my elderly parents who live nearby. Clean and comfortable accommodations. Especially enjoyed our guest passes and and use of the nearby swimming pool.
Wonderful, clean, comfortable space with good proximity to recreation and shopping. Check in process could have been better, host forgot to provide unit access code in writing. Caretaker in adjacent unit was able to provide access so disaster was averted. Otherwise, everything was great and I will definitely stay there again when visiting family in The Villages.
My wife and I needed a place to stay for a couple weeks while waiting for our new home to close. We could not have picked a better place! The apartment was very clean, fully furnished and the service we received was exceptional. A perfect neighborhood for our nightly walks through the parks, all the amenities The Village has to offer, and even use of a golf cart and clubs.
Darinda and Jim were such a delight to work with. We only talked to them on phone, text and email, but they feel like great friends. They were so caring and checked in often to be sure everything was perfect. It was!
We will highly recommend staying at their wonderful place.

the dragons did not breathe fire but were the best host/hostess you could imagine, having us over for dinner, taking us golfing, making sure we maximized our visit to the villages by giving us tips on where to go, using their golf cart & club pool/hot tub!
Darinda and Jim were there to greet us on arrival and very helpful in telling us what was going on around us. The provided golf cart was so much fun. You can reach anything with it. There is so much to see and do in The Villages. And the pools were great! Highly recommend this destination! Wonderful hosts!!
It was meticulous and very comfortable. Jim and Darinda were extremely hospitable. My needs went beyond my expectation!!!!! I am definitely coming back đđâ€ïž
