Or just jump in the pool and relax. The pool can be heated (80 °F) in wintertime for an extra fee.

The Villages are just around the corner. So we have all the shops and restaurants close by. But when you are on the property it feels like you are in the middle of nowhere! It's a 5-acre lot part of a bigger 80-acre lot with a grass landing strip. On our 5-acre lot are two houses.

No public transportation nearby. You'll need a car!

Restful cottage.

Loved the pool. My landlord and his wife were so great. I was there a month and enjoyed every minute. Never a problem he couldn’t solve in a minute. My little space was comfortable and easy to keep clean. Just outside the Villages where there is lots to do. You could hardly throw a stone without hitting a church or grocery store. I had my dog who love it too.

Quiet rural property

Very disappointed. House needs to be updated. No mention in the posting of a $15 per day charge to heat their pool which they also use. No mention that pets (we had 2 dogs) could not be on the furniture. The property is connected to the owners house & you need permission to use washer/dryer but it was not a problem. Very uncomfortable living so close to the owner. Very quiet area.

Wonderful VRBO

Caesar was a wonderful and caring host. My fiancé and I had a great time while we searched for our new home. The pool was amazing, the scenery spectacular and the home clean and cozy. We highly recommend Caesar and his home - you’ll have the best time. :)

Cute place with Open Space

Our stay was very nice for our needs. We have relatives in The Villages so this worked out perfect. So nice & quiet and my little dog loved it. Caesar was not on the property, but kept in contact and was a great host from afar! Thanks again, would recommend!

Cozy cottage!

We stayed at the cottage February and March 2022 and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. It is cozy and so peaceful. We loved periodically watching planes take off and land on the airstrip in the back yard. Ceasar and Ellen were great and have provided anything you would ever need during your stay. The pool was fabulous as well!!! We also enjoyed watching sand hill cranes, those little lizards and the neighbor’s cat!!! Great place to stay!!!

Wonderful place! Especially if you need to get a place close to the villages!!

Thank you so much for such a lovely spot to enjoy while visiting family. We were able to spread out a bit in the covid year but being outside screened in made it a great choice! We would love to come back next year! Best to you both Maggie and Bill. Ps yes my given name is jan.n there is a long story to tell about the Maggie...perhaps next time. Be well

Exceptional property.

Caesar was a great host, making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. He bonded well with my German Shepherd dog, and they became good friends. We had a great time. I rated location a 4, you will have to drive at least 10 miles to a water body or a park, depending on what you like to do or want to see. Close to the villages, but I don’t golf. Otherwise, 5 stars.

Caro Ranch stay

We used this pretty much as a sleeping base, which worked well. It was convenient to stores in Lady Lake, and near the villages. The bed was very good, couch and chairs a bit soft for us, but probably fine for younger folks The area was quiet, a relief after the hurry around Orlando

Neat little cottage on an airstrip. Had hoped to see more activity on the airstrip, but it was a slow week for flying, I guess.
