Location, location, location within The Villages is perfect. The staff is great, very attentive and genuinely friendly. The rooms are very clean and tidy. We've stayed here two years in a row and we're planning to go back again in February. Thanks to the staff of The Waterfront Inn for making our overnight escape perfect.
