Step into a charming retreat at the Village of Lynnhaven in The Villages, where curb appeal meets convenience. A cozy, screened-in lanai welcomes you at the front of the home, offering a peaceful outdoor haven perfect for enjoying a quiet morning coffee or an evening breeze. The inviting entrance sets the tone for a residence that effortlessly blends style, comfort, and practicality.

Inside, the open concept living area is designed for both entertainment and relaxation. The expansive living room, adorned with brand-new vinyl plank flooring throughout, features a striking 50-inch TV that makes movie nights memorable. A versatile pull-out sleeper sofa provides additional sleeping space, ensuring that guests feel right at home. Enhanced by solar tubes that bathe the space in natural light, the living room creates an inviting ambiance for both daytime gatherings and cozy evenings in.

The modern kitchen is a delightful space that combines functionality with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Its eat-in area is ideal for casual meals and lively breakfast conversations, seamlessly connecting to the living room to maintain the open flow of the home. With sleek finishes and the same durable vinyl plank flooring found throughout, the kitchen underscores the home's commitment to contemporary, low-maintenance living—free from carpet and its upkeep.

The tranquil master bedroom serves as a private sanctuary where relaxation takes center stage. A comfortable queen bed promises restful nights, while a 40-inch TV provides a personalized touch for unwinding with your favorite shows. Generously appointed with a large walk-in closet, this room offers ample storage space to keep your belongings organized, all within an atmosphere that exudes both luxury and comfort.

Adjoining the master bedroom, the private master bathroom offers a spa-like experience with its modern walk-in shower that is both refreshing and elegantly designed. Natural light streams in through strategically placed solar tubes, illuminating the space and creating a bright, invigorating environment. The clean, contemporary design of the bathroom makes it a perfect retreat for starting or ending your day on a high note.

The guest bedroom is equally inviting, providing a serene haven for visitors. Furnished with a queen bed and a 45-inch TV for entertainment, the room mirrors the home's overall modern aesthetic. The premium vinyl plank flooring ties the room seamlessly into the rest of the house, offering both style and comfort in a well-thought-out space that ensures every guest feels at ease.

  The house was clean and comfortable. It came with a golf cart which we enjoyed using. The property was in a good location. There was a big tree in the front yard that constantly shed it's leaves. The driveway and sidewalk was always had leaves and debris. It required some maintenance.

  • Manager Responded on 3/17/2025

    Thank you for your review & we are happy to hear that you enjoyed the home and your visit. The owner is actually looking into having the tree removed this summer. We hope you come visit again with us soon. :-)

  Jeff T from Wilmington, NC recommends this vacation rental

  We enjoyed our stay with a couple of notes. our only real complaint was the comfort of the couches and the beds. The couches seemed newer but were not comfortable to sit on the only comfortable place to sit was kitchen table. The bed was just bad need new mattress my guess they are original to the home 20 years ago. It was pleasant stay good location and a fairly new golf cart along with nice grill. Except for the comfort factor would give it a 5 star with comfort a 4.

  The house had new flooring, The smoke detectors needed new batteries. The golf cart needed water and the rear end needed to be secured so that it wouldn't slide off.

  Rental was as advertised. Clean and very nice inside. Location was very good for access all our favorite places. The golf cart was a nice bonus but remember it is electric. Some times limited our travel radius.

  a guest from Milton, ON does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The owner of the property needs to pay more attention to it. The golf cart did not work for the first couple of days until the batteries were replaced. We encountered a problem with ants inside the home which we lived with for over half our stay. The property management people were very helpful and did everything they could to rectify the problem.

  a guest from Bristol, VA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  When rented property, told Down Home that the only requirement was that I had to have wifi. Wifi would not connect when arrived on Saturday evening. Called office and no answer. Called on Monday morning. Some one came by and looked and promised a call back. Received no call. Called again Tuesday morning and was told would check on and call me back. When we left the following Saturday had never received a call. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay, but will only return if we can rent through another company.
