Holiday rentals with lake access in The Villages

We wanted to take a break from the city we live in and found a perfect retreat at this Airbnb. Located on a canal with a peaceful dock where we had our coffee in the morning. We had friendly turtle visits and a young gator that swam over when he saw us on the dock. We will definitely return in the near future.

Great little spot on the water if you’re looking for a peaceful weekend. Didn’t catch anything but that’s our luck haha had a great time did see a spotted Gar and even seen a baby gator and one about 4ft long while in the canoe. Would definitely stay again if I came back to the area, clean house and had everything we needed.

Recommend if you want peace and quiet. I would stay again.

When you book Luisa's home, you know you're booking a lakefront stay, but the pictures provided are just a glimpse of the view that takes your breath away when you enter the front door. This home was built to take in the beauty of lakeside nature. I found myself all too often just sitting on the couch staring out at the lake. The space was beautifully clean and decorated. If you're looking for a bit of peace in central Florida paradise, this is your spot. Luisa was very accommodating and we look forward to booking in the future.

My husband and I were in the area for a Jr. EYBL basketball tournament for my son. We stayed in the house along with 2 other families and their boys. It was PERFECT!!! So spacious, clean, and well equipped. The lake view was incredibly beautiful! The patio was a nice space for the boys to hang out between games. There were tons of board and card games to keep them busy. There was a nice office space that one of the dads used daily since he had some work to do. The beds were big and so comfortable! I loved the MIL house. It was well furnished and spacious as well. Great for the early to bed people… ME! Richard and Braden were very nice and allowed us a late checkout since our game was a little later on Sunday. I had only 1 question while there and I got a quick response. We have traveled a lot together and everyone agreed this is definitely in our top houses and we’ve stayed in and if ever in the area again, we will be back!

Beautiful accommodations that felt like a home away from home. Perfect stay for relaxation, peace and quiet. Well kept dock with stairs to get on and off a boat without having to get your feet wet. Tyler was very nice and had great communication. He exceeded our expectations.

Will definitely be back! Loved spending time with my family on the Rainbow river. Ate dinner together with a beautiful view at a beautiful big wood table and then made smores at the fire pit. Great Memories were made.

We had a great stay. Really appreciated the local info given by Chaz and his overall responsiveness!

Have booked several times and stayed in multiple units. Have always found Garry’s rentals to be impeccably clean & well stocked. The beds are so comfortable as well!!

From beginning to end I really enjoyed my stay! It was a solo trip and I was looking to relax and definitely got that here. Peaceful and quiet. Jessica was very responsive to all my messages and her home had everything I needed and was super clean! I would absolutely stay here again!

Claudia was always responsive. She gave clear instructions for an easy access. The place was clean and perfect, peaceful, and private. Claudia left nice details to help our stay pleasant, including some delicious fresh farm eggs. Thank you very much. We’ll definitely stay there again.

Overall a very cute, well decorated little one bedroom duplex. My only complaint would be that the bedroom must be near a water softener or other large appliance because every night at least once a night I was woken up by some loud mechanical noises. Wasn't an issue for my husband who is a heavier sleeper but being a light sleeper it did bother my sleep somewhat. Otherwise everything else about the place was great with a well stocked kitchen.

Place was exactly as described. Easy walk to restaurants, shops and the lake. Very clean and all you could need in the kitchen. Brianna was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Gary cozy apartment is a perfect way to put it! Spacious, clean, stocked, and in a great location. You just can’t beat the price! We’ll definitely stay again!

Very nice historical home to stay in. Felt like I was stepping back into time in a very comfortable setting. It’s very close and convenient to all the happenings down in Mt Dora and surrounding areas. I would highly recommend staying at Peter and Lisa’s home.

I hate to leave such a great review because I love this place and want it all to myself 😁 All joking aside this is one of my favorite places to stay in Clermont. Stocked with everything needed, great location, quiet. Cant wait to come back

Highly recommend the apartment, nice backyard directly at the water. Beautifully renovated bath- and bedrooms. Well-equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook your own meals. Hosts were reachable and very supportive. Perfect for a weekend-escape into the green!

Very nice place for my husband and I anniversary. We had a lovely time.

My brother & I are in our 70s and stayed 5 nights for a fishing/canoeing getaway. This home was perfect for this. Beautiful location! Amazing view from the back. Nicely prepared home that has added touches. Very easy to find. An initial supply of bottled water was in the frig. The host was very responsive to any questions. If the online description had not warned about the sulfur smell of house water, the possibility of ants inside the home, and no dishwasher, this rating would be lower. The ants (2 to 3 types) in the guest bathroom are problematic, and this situation needs to be aggressively addressed. Overall, my brother & I had a wonderful time.

We had a great time. Second time we have come and stayed here and we would do it again the next time we’re in the area. The lake is beautiful and the neighborhood peaceful.

Exactly like the pictures, adorable cottage, very cozy! Had an amazing time and it had everything we needed for the few days we were there. Kitchen was well equipped with basic cooking needs. Beds and bed linens were really comfortable, plenty of blankets and towels as well.

From the moment we walked through the door, everything was just fantastic. Very clean, and exactly how the pictures looked. Nights sitting dockside was amazing, even with the Florida heat. the breeze from the lake just made it peaceful. Very quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend staying here

Lovely home in a friendly neighborhood and close to so many attractions. Kenneth was friendly and very welcoming and responsive to my questions.

Karla's place is very nice. Very clean, the screened in porch was so nice and there are sliding glass doors where you can see the beauty outside. The lake, dock and everything outside were so beautiful. The thing I loved the most is it is so quiet there. We live on a noisy road so this was heaven. We met Karla as we were leaving, and she is so nice. Directions to the cottage were perfect, check in was easy. Very nice place when you have a dog as we were traveling with our Yorkie. You will love Karla's place!
