Answer: To answer your question, I don’t know if there is a snorkeling club specifically but there is a Scuba Club. Here’s a link to their website: http://users.thevillages.net/johkoe/scubaclub.htm

The club meets on the first Wednesday of each month, there seems to be quite a few members, and the dive trips they have listed on their site sound like a lot of fun. Check it out!

Thanks for the question!

Answer: Well, like most things “it depends”. How long are you planning to stay? According to the deed restrictions: “Trucks, Trailers, Recreational Vehicles, Campers and Boats: All such vehicles require a clearance from your Neighborhood Watch representative to park in The Villages. A clearance is issued for a maximum of 72 hours. Vehicles which fit in a garage are exempt.”

Source: http://www.districtgov.org/vccdd/deedrestrict.asp

So if you’re there 72 hours or less and have permission, you should be o.k. If you need a longer stay you’ll probably need to put your RV somewhere else. Here are some local RV parks. Maybe you can call and negotiate a better rate if you tell them you are just parking it and won’t be using any of their electricity or water.

Answer: This is a common question I get a lot here. Mostly from people who have not lived in Florida or The Villages before and want to try it out for a little while before biting the bullett and buying a home here. This is usually a pretty smart idea. It’s also common for people to buy a home several years before they retire and rent it out to help pay the mortgage or get some rental income.
