Family Vacation by Grandma and Grandpa.

This was the perfect house for our family of 4 and 1 small dog. It was near grandma and grandpa, which is why we chose it, but was nicer than others we have rented in this same village in past years. All information was easy to find, access was also easy. I would definitely stay here again.

Property is great with a perfect location. Close to golf, pickleball, pools, and Brownwood Square. The golf cart works great and was a fun addition especially when playing golf or Ku going to the square. We had a great time and definitely would recommend the property

Great stay

This property has it all - clean and fully furnished, games, golf cart, and lifestyle passes. It’s located only a short distance to Brownwood town square and a handful of recreation centers. We only used the king bed and that was very comfortable. Check in was very simple. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Joni Newkirk

Host profile image
I moved to The Villages in 2013 after visiting my parents here for years. Someday, I hope to retire and enjoy all there is to do, but right now, I live vicariously through my neighbors.

Why they chose this property

Investment/rental homes are a hobby for me. The four homes I currently have on VRBO - Mutterhaus, Ruhe Haus, Friedlich Haus and Glucklich Haus- are all lovingly cared for to both retain their value and provide a premium, "at home" experience for guests. If you think of anything during your stay that is missing, but would be great to have, let me know. Your feedback is extremely valuable.

What makes this property unique

Great villa in the Village of Collier, a sought-after location near Brownwood Square. Equal distance to Lake Sumter Landing as it is to the new section of The Villages currently under development. The four seat, gas golf car will allow you to explore with confidence and Resident passes will give you access to all the amenities afforded to residents of The Villages.

This house is close enough to Central Florida theme parks, but a great respite when you need some rest. And with many outdoor and indoor activities (golf, mini-golf, swimming, billiards, pickleball, tennis, bocce ball, dancing on the squares 365 days a year, dining, shopping and more) you can be as active or relaxed as you choose.
