Floor Plan Spotlight: Bristol Villas

For many older adults, the ideal home in retirement offers the feel of a house without the demands of owning one. The Bristol Villas at The Mayflower deliver exactly that: single-family residences with private garages, garden space, and a friendly neighborhood atmosphere, set within one of Central Florida's most celebrated life plan communities.

The Appeal of Detached Villa Living

The Bristol Villas are designed for those who aren't quite ready to give up the house and the yard but no longer want the hassles that come with home maintenance. Step out the back door and there's room to garden. Step out the front, and Villa Lake is right across the street, offering residents a peaceful spot to spend an afternoon fishing.

Three floor plans are available, all single-story, all with an attached garage, and all within easy walking distance of The Mayflower Commons Building and nearby shopping. The neighborhood has the feel of a quiet residential street, with the full support of a life plan community close at hand.

Spacious Floor Plans Built for Everyday Life

The villas run approximately 1,600 square feet and offer two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with layouts that feel open and easy to navigate. Kitchens come fully equipped with all-electric, full-size appliances, including a dishwasher, disposal, range, microwave, side-by-side refrigerator with water and ice dispenser, and a washer and dryer.

The generous square footage accommodates a comfortable living and dining area, space for guests, and room for hobbies, a home office, or whatever the next chapter calls for. Finishes can be customized so each residence reflects the individual tastes of the person who lives there.

Private Outdoor Space, Without the Upkeep

One of the most appealing aspects of villa living is having your own outdoor space without being responsible for maintaining it. Beautifully kept landscaping is part of the package, so residents can enjoy the grounds without ever picking up a rake. Whether it's a morning on the patio or an afternoon at Villa Lake, the setting encourages unhurried time outdoors in a way that apartment living simply cannot replicate.

Connected to Everything The Mayflower Offers

While the villas provide a sense of private retreat, residents remain close to the full range of amenities The Mayflower is known for throughout the wider community, including:

• A heated swimming pool
• A fitness center with wellness programming
• Multiple dining venues, including The Winslow for elegant dining, The Grille for casual evenings, and Cru Quarters at Bristol Landing, a bistro and wine bar
• A library and arts and crafts studio
• Cultural events, lifelong learning programs, and social clubs

The Mayflower's wellness philosophy is built around four pillars: socialization, mental stimulation, spirituality, and physical activity. Villa residents can participate in the full calendar of programs that bring those priorities to life daily.

Winter Park, Right Outside the Door

The Mayflower sits in the heart of Winter Park, a city consistently recognized as one of the most desirable addresses in the country. Residents enjoy easy access to Park Avenue, the Albin Polasek Museum and Sculpture Gardens, Rollins College, the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, and the nationally acclaimed Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival, along with lakeside walking paths, world-class dining, and boutique shopping.

Peace of Mind Built In

Like all residences at The Mayflower, the Bristol Villas are part of a life plan community with guaranteed access to on-site healthcare, including assisted living, memory support, and skilled nursing, should needs ever change. Residents can choose between a Life Plan agreement and a LifeCare agreement depending on their financial goals, with both providing the same quality of services and amenities.
