Great Location, Well kept, Clean home
This 3 bedroom rental was clean and well located in a very quiet neighborhood. We were pleased with the gas powered golf cart that came with the rental. We did not use the plunge pool, instead opting to take the golf cart to the pool at the rec center only two blocks away. The screened in porch was great for eating meals. We used the washer and dryer in the garage to do a load of laundry. Baths were well stocked with towels and blowdryer in each bathroom. Kitchen has spices and cleaning items under the sink. It has all the appliances you need to prepare meals. The beds were very comfortable. There were 4 extra soft throw blankets for chilly nights. We would definitely recommend renting this beautiful, spacious home.

This property did not disappoint! Great location.Well appointed with everything we needed. The patio and pool area looked so nice, didn’t get to use the pool or the patio much, because of the cold during our stay. Would definitely come back again, and recommend to anyone.

Didn’t want to leave! 😔❤️🌴
We had a great 9 days in this gorgeous home. Everything you could possibly need was there. All switches were labeled which helped a ton. Kristine was a great host and responded promptly when needed. Location was great. Sitting on the lanai was peaceful and quiet. Definitely download the villages app for golf cart adventures, it was super helpful. Next time we are vacationing in the area we would absolutely rent again.

We had a great stay at this beautiful home. Very clean and spacious and the location was great. Very close to Spanish Springs square and Lake Sumter square by car or golf cart. Kristina was very easy to get in touch with to answer all our questions. We did have an issue with the golf cart but Kristina rectified the situation. Very beautiful home!

Our stay at Serene on the Green was better than we imagined. The house was clean, stocked with kitchen items enough for all and has an amazing spice cabinet (so helpful). It is centrally located so we could easily travel by golf cart to all the fun activities. The golf cart was super fun and a bonus since it came with the rental. The house is nearby one of the community pools which was another bonus! The host thought of everything! We would 100% rent this home again!

Very enjoyable property
Property was well located for access to both Spanish Springs and Lake Sumter town centers. Comfortable and quiet home, stocked with all amenities. Golf cart ran well. Home located close to a beautiful golf course and two blocks from a Community Center.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would return again to same property.

Nice Quiet Street & Peaceful Rental
We stayed for 4 nights while visiting to do a Celebration of Life for my father, 89, who recently passed away and had lived in The Villages 2002-2022. We had my mother with a walker, a caregiver, and my husband and me. The place had everything we needed to make the trip work and is especially nice having the safer walk-in 2nd shower with a bench for my older mom! My parents used to live near Spanish Springs, so for us we were in a convenient area to their old friends and church. Lake Sumter Landing was an easy drive away.
We were visiting so many people that we didn't need to cook dinners while there. The layout was nice. The place was very clean and well stocked. The only thing I might add is a few more bath towels available. There aren't any floor rugs, which was safe for my mother, but also does make sound carry quite a bit in the place.
The patio has a wonderful peaceful feel with no homes behind the house so it's secluded. Personally I would have loved to have the bushes on the left cut lower so that you can see further of the big backyard since it's so private, instead of them being so tall to block the view out from the patio.
A great easy stay, especially given the reason why we were in town.

Nice home
The property is lovely in a great neighborhood. Great location to check out two of the squares. One downside is the pool is really not a pool but a large jacuzzi. So you can not swim. It would have been nice if a cheap set of golf clubs were provided since it’s advertised as being on the green. I tried to rent at the closest course who told me there were no rentals. Beds and furniture quite comfortable. Owner was responsive to the few problems encountered.

The house was beautiful and extremely clean, organized and lots of room. All the amenities you need. The Splash pool and lanai were a game changer, peaceful , relaxing and you can sit and relax without bugs.
Golf cart was awesome and we were able to get around to Spanish Springs and Sumter Landings. Great location, great food and great people.
Definitely will return next year!
Love being able to wash clothes and hang dry outside.
Highly recommend!!

First visit a success!
Kristina was super responsive and ensured we were set up for easy entry and exit and a week of relaxation. The entire house was labeled with an extremely detailed orientation book and all items needed for a week were available. Loved the golf cart and makeup towels! Too cold to pool it but the cul-de-sac property that backed up to the Polo Grounds made it quiet and allowed us to keep open the sliding glass doors so we were living “outdoors” in the winter. Appreciated the huge TV, YouTube TV, and monitor/keyboard.
Pickleball, golf and pool only a 2 minute golf cart ride away.
Would definitely recommend to a couple or small family.

Best vacation in The Villages!
This house is a dream! It was clean, neat, and Kristina thought of everything you can possibly need to have a great vacation! The neighbors were so friendly and we enjoyed talking with them. You can walk to the recreation center and pool or use the great little pool at the house. Kristina was the best host! We will definitely be looking to stay here again. Thank you!
