Practical Stops

Groceries & Essentials

Need groceries, a few forgotten items, medicine, or gas? Here are some useful nearby options. Store hours can change, so it is always a good idea to check before heading out.

Publix – Magnolia Plaza

A convenient full grocery store in the southern area of The Villages for groceries, bakery items, deli food, drinks, and everyday supplies.

Address: 2135 Everglades Ln, The Villages, FL 32163

Publix – Grand Traverse Plaza

Another useful Publix option for groceries, deli items, drinks, and everyday necessities.

Address: 2925 Traverse Trl, The Villages, FL 32163

Walmart

Helpful when you need groceries plus household items, toiletries, travel supplies, or other basics in one stop.

Address: 1115 Waxman Dr, The Villages, FL 32163

CVS – Magnolia Plaza Area

Useful for over-the-counter medicine, toiletries, snacks, drinks, and other last-minute essentials.

Address: 2180 Everglades Ln, The Villages, FL 32163

Quick Stop in Coleman

For fuel, drinks, snacks, or a quick convenience-store stop without making a full grocery run, there are fuel/convenience options on Warm Springs Avenue in Coleman.

Area: E Warm Springs Ave, Coleman, FL 33521

More Grocery Choices

Wildwood and the southern Villages area also have additional grocery choices including ALDI and other Publix locations if you are already out exploring the area.

Guest tip: If you only need one or two quick items, Coleman is convenient. For a full grocery run, the Publix, Walmart, and other stores around the southern Villages/Wildwood area offer more selection.

Pet-Friendly Stays

Traveling With a Pet

Several Dana’s Florida Getaways properties are well suited for guests traveling with dogs, including options with fenced outdoor space.

Please follow the pet guidelines provided with your specific reservation and keep pets supervised around unfamiliar animals, neighboring properties, and outdoor areas.

A Little Country Charm

Farm & Garden Notes

Dana’s Florida Getaways is connected to our small nearby mini-farm and garden. Many guests enjoy the quiet countryside atmosphere and seeing what is growing or happening around the property during their stay.

If you are staying at Cozy Corner or Cozy Corner Apartment, the farm animals are on our nearby farm property. If you would like to see the animals, message us and we may be able to arrange a quick visit when available.

Boats, Trailers & Oversized Vehicles

Large Vehicle Parking

Bringing a boat, trailer, U-Haul, work truck, or another oversized vehicle? Parking options depend on which rental you are staying in.

Suite Escape

Guests with larger vehicles, boats, trailers, U-Hauls, or big trucks may be able to use the half-circle driveway at the front of the property.

Please message us ahead of time when possible so we know what you are bringing and can help make sure the parking area is available.

Cozy Corner

This property does not have a separate oversized-vehicle or trailer parking area. A boat, trailer, or larger vehicle would need to fit within the regular driveway along with your vehicle.

If you are unsure whether your setup will fit, please message us before arrival.

Our Story

Dana’s Florida Getaways is part of a bigger dream we are building little by little — a peaceful farm stay with animals, gardens, fruit trees, and a growing food forest.

Our hope is to keep creating a place where guests can slow down, enjoy the countryside, and feel at home while visiting Central Florida.

Support is always appreciated and never expected.
