This property is a five star for me. This day was incredible. My upgrade was everything I wanted to be, and then some the staff was spot on. I had answers to all my questions and never question me about anything hands-down I am going to stay here again. Kudos to Rick the gentleman that helped to arrange my stay and check me in.

we stayed one night at this waterfront Inn. It is right on Lake Sumpter in the villages. they were kind enough to check us in early. The room was large and the bed was very comfortable. We used the pool and were served cocktails while we were swimming. We were in the heart of the square. We walked to dinner and then had an after dinner walk on the boardwalk. That night there was an incredible sunset. I would definitely recommend the waterfront Inn if you are looking for a place to stay in The Villages.
