  Have rented this home numerous times over a number of years. It has always been a clean, well located location for golf getaways. Having a cart available just adds to the experience. All in all a positive experience without exception.

  Home was clean and in perfect shape as always. There was, however, a couple of items that might be worth mentioning. 1) the ceiling fan in master bedroom would not start under its own power without being assisted by hand. 2) looked as though some kind of hose was hanging down underneath the golf cart. These are not complaints, just making you aware. Great stay as usual.

  • Manager Responded on 5/17/2024

    Thank you for letting us know!!! We are glad you had a great stay with us. The ceiling fan and hose hanging down underneath the golf cart were fixed back in November of 2023. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

  This house was layed out nice and equipped very well. Take a look around at the menu book for local restaurants and open the kitchen cupboards to see all the spices and utensils. Great location in the center of The Villages. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Forgot to mention it is Very clean! We had a problem with a light flashing and the management company was right out to replace it.

  This home had everything. Some homes we've rented haven't even provided a hair dryer but this owner provided two hair dryers. When they say the kitchen was completely stocked, they mean it. This home had everything. The only thing that I would have liked was the carpets were ready to be cleaned.

  • Manager Responded on 5/4/2023

    We have installed privacy curtains per suggested comments by our wonderful guests. "Thank you for the suggestion about the carpets. We have now scheduled them for cleaning this summer."

  Everything was wonderful except for the amount of millipedes. They are harmless but they were everywhere! Location was perfect, my parents live across the street and it was nice to be so close. Beautiful home, comfy beds, quiet street, close to the pool and square. Thanks for a great trip!

  • Manager Responded on 12/2/2022

    Unfortunately, for a short period of time out of year the millipedes can be a nuisance in Florida, but they are harmless. Thank you for the review and we are happy to hear that you enjoyed the home and had a wonderful vacation. We hope we can welcome you back with us again in the near future.

  The home was in perfect condition as it has been several times in the past. Location puts us within easy driving ( provided cart) distance of town squares dining and golf courses. I would definitely rent this property again. The only irritant was that the wifi password listed in the packet that came with house, was incorrect and took several days to determine that the router had correct password. All in all an excellent stay.

  • Manager Responded on 12/14/2022

    Thank you for the wonderful review, we are happy to know you had a wonderful vacation and enjoyed the home again. We apologize for the rough start with the wifi password issue. The correct password is now in the book and on the router.

  We had another wonderful vacation renting this property! It is everything one looks for, clean, stocked and conveniently located mainly to our parents but easily accessible to Sumpter and Brownwood Squares.
  We are looking forward to returning again next year and possibly sooner.
  Thank you Down Home Properties for an easy process to have the opportunity to vacation as if we were actually home. Very welcoming and comfortable.

  Leif E C from Frankford, DE recommends this vacation rental

  Our experience was good! Three couples rented together and found the amenities and location very acceptable. We would suggest having TV's in more bedrooms. Filter in fridge could have been changed, water not too tasty. Coffee pot had hissy fits on occasion, but backup Kuerig was helpful. Lanai could have used screens certain times of the day. House was clean and easy to live in, and the owner was extremely attentive when we had difficulty with the wifi.

  • Manager Responded on 12/14/2022

    Thank you for your review and suggestion about adding more TV's in the guest bedrooms. After the owner read your suggestion they went ahead and added TV's in each guest bedroom. The owner is also addressing the lanai screens you suggested on there next visit to the villages. We appreciate all our suggested comments and have installed privacy curtains recommended by our wonderful guests. 05/05/2023

  a guest from Kalamazoo, MI recommends this vacation rental

  The house is in excellent condition. Furniture is comfortable and spotless. The owners have provided everything one would need and then some. Kitchen is extremely well equipped. Plenty of closet space and drawers in the bedrooms. Our only complaints are the lanai is not private at all; it's like sitting on the lawn and the electric grill is slow and loses heat quickly.

  • Manager Responded on 12/14/2022

    Thank you for your review and we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your vacation. The owner read your two issues and will be addressing the lanai screens on their next visit to the villages and have left instructions for the electric grill for a better experience. We appreciate all our suggested comments and have installed privacy curtains recommended by our wonderful guests. 05/05/2023

  Joe B from Miami, FL recommends this vacation rental

  Overall, this is an excellent home in a very good location, especially if you are interested in playing golf. It also includes the use of a golf cart, which I used a lot, both to play golf and to just generally tour The Villages.
  My only issue is that the two car, plus golf cart garage is actually a one car garage, with golf cart garage because a van is stored in one of the car locations.

  We have been visiting The Villages for 15 years since my in-laws retired here. We enjoy the south end of The Villages and have rented two different homes in the past four years. This home is nicely appointed and quite spacious. We do play a lot of golf when here, so the cart is a must. It is a very good Yamaha. Would likely rent this home again.
