WOW .. ELEGANT Courtyard Villa with GOLF CART, Walk to Sumter Sq. 0.7 mi & pool

IMAGINE being able to enjoy this ENTIRE ELEGANT HOME for less than the price of a hotel room! SPACIOUS Living Room to relax, KING Bed in MASTER, Queen Guest Room, plus a sofa bed AND Trundle bed for the grandkids or extra VISITORS, sleeps 7.

You’ll LOVE having this NEWLY DECORATED Lake SUMTER LANDING Town Square right at your door step…nightly music, 2 for 1 drinks from 5 to 6 pm. Just jump on the GOLF CART and be there in 2 minutes. Or take the cart to the POOL and RECREATION CENTER, a 2 minute drive the other direction. ENJOY a game of pool or join in to one of the 3000 clubs at the 27 Recreation Centers of the Villages! Visitor ID’s provided. FIDO can even join you in our home for a minimal charge.

We'll try to do all we can to make your stay enjoyable. We’re world travelers ourselves, and know how nice it is to have friendly, helpful landlords, even on short term stays. We’ve made the home nice for ourselves and our guests, and hope you will enjoy every minute of it. We look forward to receiving your enquiry. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Come alone or bring your friends and family. Brought to you by the family of owners of ‘Our Sweet Caroline’ and 'Our Village Gem' and 'Our Village Gem 2' all with 5 star reviews, and equally close to Lake Sumter Town Square!!! Decorator furnished. You'll love the elegance. 

With this home you'll have Village decorator elegance, with golf cart in the heart of the villages - wifi and large TV's – possibly the closest walk to Lake Sumter town square of all available properties, plus restaurants and entertainment. Or take the golf cart to the various golf courses for free golf!

We named our home 'THE SORRENTO ROSE' because of it's charming decor. It has incredible location, elegant décor and charm in the heart of The Villages, just a short stroll from The Lake Sumter Town Square, with restaurants and entertainment galore. The pools and recreation center are just a short cart ride or walk away. 

‘THE SORRENTO ROSE' has been beautifully decorated and sleeps 7 comfortably, with dining for 6 inside and out, ideally situated in the Village of Virginia Trace, considered to be the most ideal area 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 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 Canal Street Recreation and Pool Complex, our VIRGINIA TRACE 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! Or pay a premium and play one of the 12 Country Club Championship Courses such as The Arnold Palmer or Nancy Lopez Course.  Free golf requires a Temporary Resident ID one time payment, rather than a free Guest ID.

*RESTAURANTS AND COUNTRY CLUB EATING -
There are great restaurants around the area. Try any of the Country Clubs that often have music or entertainment as well. One of our favorites is Katy Belle’s that boasts Opera Singers who circulate around the tables and entertainment galore.

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 foot or 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 near to the Villa, so you will never run out of essentials. 

*QUIET, CHARMING & CONVENIENT –

The home is in Virginia Trace, adjacent to Lake Sumter Landing Town Square. In the Master Bedroom there is a King Bed for 2 with adjoining bath, a guest bedroom with a Queen for 2 also with adjoining bath. In addition, there is a comfy sofa bed for the 5th and 6th visitors. PLUS a trundle day bed in the Florida Room for any extra visitors! All linens are supplied. 

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

If you are considering exploring the area, you can rent a car 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 up 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.

Check in is normally 3 pm, and check out 10 AM. However early check in can be accommodated if the home is available before 3pm. 

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

Our recent visitors suggested that we stress how nice it is 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 - 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

2. GOLF CART !!! That’s a thrill for our family – everyone from 1 to 100 has enjoyed it immensely. 

3. CHARMING DECOR - relax and soak up the charm! It’s your vacation – make it memorable.

*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 walkable. We especially love the proximity to Lake Sumter Landing Town Square with all it’s amenities – less than 2% of Village home have that luxury! 

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

*PETS -
Mature well trained dogs can be considered, and the pet fee is only $100 for the entire stay. Sorry no cats as we have allergies.

*WHAT VISITORS COMMENT ON ...
1. One visitor said: “What amazing décor. Every nook and cranny has something beautify! Nothing has been overlooked.”
2. Another visitor suggested we emphasize that our location in the Villages is really walking distance to everything. Other homes she looked at advertised themselves to be '10 minutes' from the heart of the Villages, but they were actually a 10 minute drive, whereas ours is actually walking distance to the Town Square.

Here are the 10 most popular visitor activities, many of which you can walk to from the house, and all are a golf cart away.

Everything you need for great stay
We had a wonderful time staying at this Villa. The Villa is only about a mile from Sumpter Landing which is full of restaurants, shopping and entertainment. It would be hard to find a better location. We stayed for the months of January & February. Weather was in the 60's and low 70's and almost no rain. It’s a 2 bedroom 2 bath Villa. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with all the cooking utensils and supplies you will need. The stove was gas which we liked. There is also an outdoor functioning gas grille. The enclosed lanai was great. The sun comes up in the morning and warms it up and is gone by the afternoon. That’s important, the afternoon and evening sun can be brutal. There were plenty of TV’s and the internet is fast enough. We saw no bugs of any sort inside. There were 2 sets of miscellaneous golf clubs that you can use if you forgot yours. The pool and Rec centers were near by and the villagers we met were all friendly. The owners have put together a very informative book of information and instructions of the villa and the area. The Villa also came with a golf cart. It ran great and is a necessity in the Villages. If you don't have one you will feel out of place. If you had to rent one you’re looking at more than $500/month. We talked to the owners a few times and Tom and Christine are very pleasant and responsive to any problem that could happen. This is a rental that we would stay at again.

Cute place
Beautiful, wish we could have stayed the full time. Had to head back to Michigan 2 days early. Only draw back is having to wash sheets/towels. That put a little damper on the "vacation" aspect.

Our Virginia Trace Stay
My adult son and I stayed at the Viginia Trace for a few nights in early Sept 2023 as I wanted to check out The Villages as a retirement location. I give the unit and its Host a well deserved 5-Star rating for its condition, cleanliness, location and the Host's attentiveness. This short stay was a perfect solution for our needs and a far better selection than any nearby hotel. Heartily recommend you consider this property for your stay in The Villages. Dan
