  Jane B from The Villages, FL recommends this vacation rental

  I rented this property for family, including 4 adults, a 2-year old and a dog. The golf carts were a huge plus, much appreciated. Loved the well-stocked and lovely space but: Following a recent storm the lanai had obviously flooded, leaving dead worms and dirt on the floor and a moldy smell that made the lanai and giant screen TV unusable. The kitchen refrigerator froze milk, cream, beer, soda and eggs, some of which had to be discarded, and never improved in spite of raising the temp. We moved liquids to the garage refrigerator, which along with some outlets didn't work until we figured out the GFI in the garage had to be reset. There are water stains on the living room ceiling, age unknown. There were no check out instructions either by email or text until after we called for instructions. The literature in the house was either outdated or not applicable to the property and contained no checkout instructions.

  Clifford C from St. Petersburg, FL recommends this vacation rental

  Refrigerator would not cool. Reported it day1. Got a call day 3 from management company asking if still needed dishwasher fixed. Fortunately there is a refrigerator in garage. Property management company reported only 1 golf cart available. Property description indicates 2 available. As a golf foursome renting, we rented a second golf cart. Upon arrival at property, discovered two golf carts in garage. Finally management company directs you to review check out instructions in binder. Located binder and no check out instructions. We called for check out instructions. Glad we did it would have missed golf cart gas-up requirements. Finally note if you rent via VRBO my, they bill you a $105.00 fee for using their site to rent home. You then deal with Down Home properties and their fees.

  a guest from West Warwick, RI recommends this vacation rental

  First time we stayed at this property and the location was great. Minutes walk to Lake Sumter. The house is as described and pictured and is in good clean condition. A Gas powered cart is provided and gives you all the range to get from one end of the Villages to the other.
  One note, it is a soft mattress in the master bedroom, not something I am used to.

  a guest from Oshkosh, Wisconsin recommends this vacation rental

  This was a beautiful home in a great location. The properety description was pretty accurate, except for the bed sizes. It was advertised as queen beds in each of the two guest rooms. One room had a small full size bed. The other request that I would make is to put a table in the lanai, so meals could be eaten out there. Location was fabulous, very close to Rec pool and Sumter Landing. Down Home Property did great.I would definitely reccomend this house to rent.

  Theresa B from Apollo , PA recommends this vacation rental

  This home was in a great location. Walking distance to Lake Sumter Landing. It was very close to an absolutely beautiful pedestrian walkway. Also very convenient to grocery stores and restaurants/shopping, and the other town squares. The house was clean and nicely accommodating. My only suggestion for improvement would be to provide a Keurig coffee maker.

  Maureen C from Gloucester, MA recommends this vacation rental

  We rented this home for the month of January for three years. We love the house and have enjoyed it. The conditioned lanai and bright ski lights are especially nice.This year we were not happy with the cleaning job that was done on the house. The mattress in the master bedroom needs to be replaced.

  a guest from Edina, MN recommends this vacation rental

  A short walk to the neighborhood pool, a 5 minute cart ride to Lake Sumter Landing, 10 minute cart ride to Palmer Legends Golf Course. Bogart and Bacal executive courses are just down Canal too. Golf cart and 2 bikes made getting around easy. Master suite is really nice. The other 2 bedrooms each have their own TVs, as does the patio. Management was very responsive - sent someone over to change the refrigerator water filter promptly after we called to report filter light on. Overall, a great place if you want to be in a quiet neighborhood that's still close to all the action.
