Created through the vision of one man, The Villages has grown from a private real estate development into a thriving neighborhood of homes, stores, restaurants, social spaces, and recreational facilities. The Villages vacation rentals offer visitors the rare chance to experience the silver lining of life’s golden years in true Florida style.

Climate during your stay in The Villages vacation rentals
Central Florida’s benevolent climate smiles on all visitors to The Villages vacation rentals, no matter the season. Mild winters and sizzling summers lend themselves to healthy outdoor living, so choose a property with a patio and barbecue to enhance your alfresco dining experience. The freshwater expanses of nearby Lake County help to keep the humid subtropical summer temperatures in check. November through March are ideal months to head south for some gentle winter sunshine and skip the high winds and rainstorms of midsummer.
The Villages’ natural connections
Emeralda Marsh Conservation Area fringes the eastern extremities of The Villages within Lake Griffin State Park. This unspoiled wetland is protected as a National Natural Landmark and forms part of the Great Florida Birding Trail. Dedicated bird-watchers may be lucky enough to catch a rare glimpse of the endangered Florida scrub jay, while sightings of woodpeckers, kites, and spoonbills are more common. The state park is famous for its ancient oak trees and its swamps provide welcoming refuges for alligators and otters. Nature trails, kayak rentals, and picnic areas are all part of the service. The park is open year-round from 8 am until sundown.
