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 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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
Seeing the Bristol Villas in person is the best way to understand what makes them so well-suited to this chapter of life. To schedule a personalized tour or request more information, get in touch with The Mayflower team.
