  Linda B from West Gardiner, ME recommends this vacation rental

  We loved this rental. Exactly as described and better. Spent a lot of time in the lanai which is private due to beautiful landscaping. Inside the couch and master bed very comfy. Great shower. Loved the Sugarcane Rec Area. Beautiful pool and park. Friendly people. The golf cart was icing on the cake!

  Rodney M from Monclova, OH recommends this vacation rental

  My wife and I had a very great holiday staying in this home. Was very comfortable and having a golf cart to get around the Villages made it even better. Given the opportunity we would stay here again in the future.
  
  There was one issue however I would prefer to discuss versus putting it in writing.

  a guest from Waikoloa, Hawaii recommends this vacation rental

  It was very easy to find a good rental and work with Downhome Properties. The house was as expected and we didn't have any problems. I especially appreciated the little kits with dishwasher and laundry tablets, as well as the bathroom kits. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

  We loved staying here. The community is beautiful and we loved using the golf cart to go to the pool and grocery store. Also this location is close to the turnpike and 75 and we would take 75 down to Clearwater beach for the day.

  a guest from Carmel, IN recommends this vacation rental

  We loved everything about staying in this home! It was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had enough equipment to easily make meals. The sofas was comfortable for watching movies in the TV. The home is convenient to a grocery store and a few rec centers. We loved sitting on the screened in porch enjoying fresh air and sunshine. Neighbors seemed friendly and the neighborhood was quiet. Downhome Properties was very responsive with any questions or concerns. If the owner had signed a contract for 2023 while we were staying there we would have signed for next year.
