  I would like to thank the staff at Down Home Properties for the prearrangement of our rental. All the contracts, deposits, etc. went smoothly. Sadly, that's where it ended. When we arrived at our rental property, the bedding and towels were cleaned but the villa was very dirty. It hadn't been vacuumed, countertops were dirty. Was just and overall poor cleaning job. We spent a better part of a day cleaning up the villa. Our first day brought on a few more surprises, like both bathroom sinks had plugged drains. You know when you brush your teeth, and it takes 5 min for the water to drain. I am a handyman, and I cleaned out both of the drains and traps. Sinks now work like a charm. It doesn't stop there. The toilet bowls were not filling properly with water thus not flushing properly. I had to adjust the fill valves in both toilets to get them working properly. When they said they want you to feel at home, I didn't think that would include home maintenance. And the most annoying thing was the hot water smelt like rotten eggs. Showering for a month with that smell was brutal. When I stay at a rental property, I treat it as if it were mine. When we left, the house was left cleaned and vacuumed and was ten times cleaner than when we arrived. You're welcome cleaning service. Let me note, I called Down Home properties and let them know the condition of the villa and they reimbursed our cleaning fee saying it wasn't their standard. But with that said, I would think there are standards for a rental to pass before renting the property. We've had many rental properties in The Villages and other places. Sadly, this was our worst rental experience.

  a guest from Saint John, NB recommends this vacation rental

  The home was very nice, clean and welcoming for our party of 5. We were close enough to Sumter Landing to walk and a short drive to Spanish Springs. The community pool was about 5 homes away. The only negatives were the fact that 2 of the 3 bedrooms were without a television and it would have been nice to be able to go to your room and watch your favorite show as well it was very difficult to get good golf tee times.

  Liz R from Newport News, VA recommends this vacation rental

  As a real estate agent, I have high standards for property management companies and Down Home Properties exceeded my expectations. They were courteous and responsive to all of my questions and concerns. The home was decorated beautifully and all areas were exceptionally clean. The beds were comfortable and all appliances were in good working order. The beds were comfy, not too soft- not too firm, the hot water lasted for all of us (6 people), and the security deposit was returned to me on the date promised. The only room for improvement was the coffee
  maker, I suggested that the owner invest in a newer one. My feedback was taken graciously and I have no doubt that the next guest will appreciate the new coffeemaker :) Overall, it was a wonderful stay and great transaction. I would definitely recommend anyone visiting The Villages give this property a try.

  a guest from Endwell, NY recommends this vacation rental

  The house was within walking distance of Sumter Square. A perfect location. The house was very clean. Rugs did have large and small spots. Feather pillows were bothersome. Management was easy to deal with. The outside area had flying biting insects. The pool was close with a very friendly and welcoming group. Glenview Sunday brunch was suberb. I would recommend this property to friends and relatives.

    07/25/23- Thank You for your honest and valued input especially stating the home was very clean inside and dealing with management was easy. Regrettably, this is Florida and although we cannot control the flying or biting insects that are outside, we have considered your comment of the alternative down feather pillows inside the home and have decided to switch them out for hypoallergenic pillows to appeal to a more broad customer base and provide a better sleeping experience. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you return soon to stay with us again. Jeanna K.
