About this home

Bring the pup! A rare dog-friendly home in The Villages — dogs under 20 lbs welcome. This bright 2BR/2BA cottage sleeps 4 and includes an electric 4-seater golf cart for cruising to squares, pools, and dining. Vaulted ceilings, an open kitchen with gas range and coffee bar, a comfy living room with smart TV, and a covered lanai overlooking open green space with no rear neighbors. Coastal-styled bedrooms, in-unit laundry, and a private driveway. Your easy, pet-friendly Villages getaway awaits.

A single-story home in one of The Villages' newest southern neighborhoods, thoughtfully furnished with a relaxed coastal feel. The open-concept great room connects a living area with smart TV, a dining table for four, and a full kitchen with stainless gas range, microwave, dishwasher, and a stocked coffee bar. Vaulted ceilings and lighted ceiling fans run throughout. Two bedrooms each have their own smart TV — the primary opens to the great room and has an ensuite with double vanity and walk-in shower, plus a walk-in closet. The guest bedroom is coastal-themed with a full guest bath nearby. Out back, a covered lanai and open patio look over green space with no rear neighbors. In-unit washer and dryer, and a 4-seater golf cart included.

Guests have the entire home to themselves, including the private driveway, the attached garage space, the covered lanai and back patio, and the included 4-seater golf cart. The full kitchen, laundry, both bedrooms, and both bathrooms are all yours for the stay. The home sits in a golf-cart-friendly Villages community with easy access to shops, dining, recreation, and pools.

HHV manages this home through a local team. We're a message away before and during your stay, and we'll send check-in details and everything you need to know ahead of arrival. We're happy to share golf-cart tips and local recommendations — as much or as little contact as you'd like.

Pets: dog-friendly for one dog under 20 lbs — please tell us about your pup in advance; a $100 pet fee applies. This is a non-smoking home. No pool or hot tub on-site; community pools and recreation are a short golf-cart ride away. The included Evolution electric 4-seater golf cart requires a valid driver's license to operate. A $50 resident/lifestyle ID fee applies. No security deposit. Please treat the home and neighbors with care — this is a quiet residential community. Security: there is one exterior security camera mounted at the front entry, facing the driveway and street. It does not cover the lanai, the backyard, or any interior space.

How many people does Dog-Friendly Coastal Cottage sleep?

What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM and check-out is by 10:00 AM. Check-in is self-guided with a smart lock — we send your door code before you arrive.
Is a golf cart included?
Yes — a golf cart comes with Dog-Friendly Coastal Cottage. There is a $20 insurance fee and a short liability waiver to sign before you drive it, which we send you ahead of arrival. Drivers must be licensed and 25 or older. In The Villages the cart is how most people get around: the town squares, pools, golf and recreation centers are all reachable on the cart paths.
Do we need a Villages Lifestyle ID, and do you arrange it?
Yes, and yes. A Lifestyle ID is what lets guests use The Villages amenities — the pools, recreation centers, golf and resident events. It is $50 for the request form, which covers up to two IDs for the home — that is the maximum The Villages issues per property, and everyone else in your party can get free guest passes once those two are collected. The Villages only accepts applications from the homeowner or their authorised representative, so you cannot file it yourself. We file it before you arrive, so your IDs are ready to collect when you get here.
