The Marilyn house felt like home and had much more room than I had anticipated. Loved the custom welcome gift, driving everywhere by golf cart, sitting in the Lanai and on the patio while working remote. Nice thought through amenities too! This is a great location to go between Sumter Landing and Spanish Springs, depending on the nights entertainment. Checked out many pools and found Chula Vista to be the most social. This was my first visit to The Villages to explore the lifestyle to see if it'd be a good fit for me ... no questions about it. Even with the pandemic there was so much to do; people are friendly and accepting to organized group activities. Mark and Bridget went above and beyond to make sure we were happy - from the chilled wine awaiting us after a long day of travel, to guiding us to the grocery in the dark on our first night, arranging guest passes, giving us a tour to a few hot spots and being very responsive to questions and needs. Thanks Mark and Bridget for sharing your place and being awesome hosts!
