About this property

The Country Porch in Wildwood Florida - A stones throw away from The Villages!

  • Rent this fully furnished, "Off the Beaten Path" country cottage for 3 nights or rent it for an entire season in sunny Florida. An abundance of song birds inhabit this beautiful country property on 1.5 acres. Peaceful setting with enormous shade trees. A farm occupies the property to the rear and dense vegetation surrounds. You may forget you're just minutes away from free nightly entertainment in Paddock Square at The Village Square of Brownwood. It's also a great place to ride bikes with clearly marked bike lanes on CR462 which connects you to the town of Wildwood and to The Villages (The Villages has over a 100 miles of bike/golf cart trails).
    Plenty of parking for those coming through with a RV , boats, or trailer in tow.
    Guest have access to all rooms of the house and are encourage to explore the 1.59 acre yard.
    The only areas not available is the 16X28 well house, sheds, enclosed trailers, boats, and RV which are locked.
    Our home is equipped with a "Ring" Door bell that will allow you to contact us at any time. Just ring the doorbell and we will be able to greet you and answer any questions you may have. There is a keypad on the front door for easy check in. A welcome binder will inform you of local attractions and bargains to be had.

Beautiful and comfortable inside and out!

House was clean, adorable decorations /nicely renovated, well provisvioned, and beds super comfortable. Several porch areas. Nice vibe, fire pit, darts, ring toss, cute decor outside is the best (we enjoy some outside evening time). Perfect spot for morning coffee in the rocking chairs on the front porch.Owners were very kind and plenty of privacy. Lots of big oak covered drives in the area. Beautiful location. Shops and restaurants nearby.We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely stay here again if in the area and available! Thank you, owners!

A Most Relaxing Stay

We stayed at The Country Porch for 2 weeks in late March. It was a great vacation. The house was super clean, nicely decorated and had everything we needed. It was roomy but still felt cozy. We were very comfortable The grounds are nicely kept, and the various plantings are very pleasing. There are so many areas to relax while sipping a cup of coffee or a glass of wine - the screened porch in the back, the backyard to enjoy the sun, the rocking chairs on the front porch, and the very private side yard with 2 lawn chairs and a table in between. The location is super. Definitely in the country surrounded by homes with large lots. It was not unusual to see farm animals during some of our walks. Though in the peaceful countryside, it is only minutes to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. Eddie & Tina were great hosts. They provided informational materials on the area and recommended things to see and do. They responded immediately at the time of booking and when we had a couple of requests during our stay. We highly recommend The Country Porch for a vacation stay. If we travel to that area again, we will definitely stay again if it is available. J & S Puhek

Family funeral visit

This property and the owners were perfect, the place was cleaned and had all the amenities we needed for a family of 5. They were available if needed but was respectful for our space. Property is gorgeous enjoyed sitting on porch at night with my tea and the adult children enjoying the lizards at night. Thank you Tina and Eddie

Great country house

Beautiful house that was perfect for my wife and I and 4 kids while visiting retired parents nearby. Enjoyed the quiet back road and relaxing on the front porch. Still close to stores and activities for us. Covered parking spot was great to have for the rainy days. House was well stocked with quality pots pans and all utensils. For the price this house was amazing. Inside finishes, paint, floors etc all looked on the new side. We will stay here again for sure when in the area.

Perfect We needed this

We all love to travel but there are times when you need to get away. The Front Porch was the perfect solution for us. Clean quiet, tranquil with a down home country welcome feel. Lots of room inside and out. Barbecuing on the charcoal grill and relaxing around the Camp Fire in the evening was amazing. About an hour to the Gulf, the ocean, or the Disney complex in Orlando made options almost limitless. I could go on but I think you get the idea. This place is a 10.
