Staying in Villages short term vs longer stays

Published 2024-08-11
So how is the Villages Florida different for me when I stay just a few days to over a month at a time. I not only explain but show you some of the activities. Not everyone will experience these differences but it is definitely a different experience for me.

Please do me a favor if you like this video hit the like button if you want to see more. Thanks.

I also appreciate all of you who have supported my channel using the Super Thanks button.

I have another way for some of you to support my channel, you can purchase me a coffee through this link. - bmc.link/garyabbott. This is not a hard sell but just encourages me to continue in retirement.

See you in the Villages! Gary

    Hi Gary, Great job to point out the differences between a short and long term stay. We ended up building in Southern Delaware. We went for a short visit and it was very enjoyable. We were very impressed with the beautiful landscaping and recreation centers. They do a wonderful job maintaining everything. I think we would consider a longer term winter visit. Blessings from Sue in Southern,Delaware

    Great perspectives... Thank you ! For those of us brand new the short term rentals will hopefully be quite educational...

    My wife and I are coming down hopefully to buy a home in November. We appreciate your insights into The Villages and what we can expect when we get there 😊

    IMHO, short-term rentals are detriment to the community. It's gotten so bad that we're thinking of relocating. The Villages is a 55+ retirement community, not a Disney World hotel

    Hey Gary thanks for these videos, they are very informative. If I may ask how many years before you retired did you buy in the villages? ~Wayne

    QUESTION: IF I need to establish residency in Florida and am leaning towards The Villages for eventual ownership decisions... BUT may. be traveling quite a bit for the first year too.... What do you think of me just renting a room in the Village ? If I can find a compatible landlord it seems it would be the cheapest way for a long term exposure to the "realities" of Villag ownership... Your thoughts appreciated :)
