We loved the pineapple theme. It was clean, quiet, and neighbors weren't nosey. Nice to have access to the golf cart. Great location for grocery shopping and close proximity to anything needed. We would recommend it to others.

The Villages Abode had everything we needed! The house was clean, beds were comfortable, and the 4 seater golf cart was a major bonus! The location was perfect, just a few minutes drive to Sumpter Landing where you could find shopping, music and restaurants. Susan was excellent on communication, very quick to reply to my emails with any questions I had prior to our arrival. Thank you again Susan, we will definitely be back!

My husband and I are exploring our options of where to stay in the winters. We really enjoyed staying in your home it was perfect, clean and not cluttered!! The golf cart was a must and we loved having it to get around. We wish we could have finished our stay, due to a family emergency we had to leave early. Thank you so much for accommodating and working with us with the early departure.

We had a great time overall. We were visiting family in the area. This was a good location for us while visiting. The rental was well stocked we liked all the dishes and pots and pans. Washer and dryer came in handy also. If we visit the area again I would rent this property.

We stayed in this adorable home for two weeks in October. The home was spotlessly clean, the beds and furniture very comfortable, and the location was central to amenities in the Villages. A small glitch at check-in (which was likely our error), was handled immediately. We had no issues and would definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your home!

Overall it was a very nice home. Several things should be addressed by the owner: melted aluminum foil on the bottom of oven (food stated like metal), 1 of the 3 TV’s was broken, and one lamp (nearest to TV) had cracked socket) which created a safety issue. Other then those 3 issues we would definitely lease again.

Great value and good time.
For a couple who love the pool, this was great. Adult pool was just around the corner. Access to stores, restaurants, etc. on the RT466 corridor was excellent; Villages Squares by included golf cart ( other than Lake Sumter) a bit too far for us. The nightly music was really good and worth the car ride. The house was nice and well appointed; loved the reclining loveseats. Unfamiliar TV systems take a little time to figure out (master BR TV never worked). All in all though, a great value and a good time.

Had a great time and the owner was amazing
The owner was amazing and got back to us every time I texted within 30 minutes. Very clean place, great location. Make sure you use the golf cart. Its the best part of the whole vacation! We felt like little kids the whole time. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Photos are accurate. Minimal towels provided - 2 per bath and none for kitchen . Kitchen is well equipped. Carpets are dirty, kitchen floor only clean in the middle - edges are filthy, place needs a thorough cleaning. Beds quite comfortable and the golf cart v handy. Garage has curbs so that your car won’t fit in, just the golf cart. Master closet has one dim light bulb and few hangars, broken blind on the window - things aren’t being cared for but it probably was a good place at one time

Lovely accommodations but some miscommunications
Upon our arrival we were greeted by three bags of trash blocking our entry threw the front door. We’re 74 yrs old- enjoy coming back to our place and watch TV of our choice after an early evening out.We don’t enjoy the movies or many of the tv programs that are on today. Could not get cable tv or local news. have seen most all that we like on Netflix. Made contact with property manager who did help us get to a cable news channel but this was all old news over the last few years. We never watched any tv after that. Shower in one bathroom didn’t work so we had to allow for extra time to prepare to go out. One dish towel for a 5 day stay. Some of the remotes for the TVs had no batteries. This house is really quite nice. Perhaps because of difficulty getting cleaning staff it isn’t being maintained as well as it normally would be.

parking/neighbors
We were two couples from NY with two full size pickups. One truck fit in the driveway and one had to park on the narrow street. Neighbors were rude and the villages inspector showed up twice when my truck tire was 3 inches on the grass. Ridiculous, the villages never again.

Great experience
This was our first time in the Villages and we only stayed a week.
We are golfers and the courses are close by. It was somewhat hard to get a tee time, but we still were able to play four times. A golf cart came with this rental and it was extremely convenient.
There is always something going on and live bands every night.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share your property

Can't Believe This Place!
The house was exactly as described. The house was very clean and well stocked. We had no issues. The best part was being able to ride around town in the golf cart. The Villages can not be described it must be experienced. We are now looking forward to making The Villages our home!!

Our stay at the Villages
The home at Belvedere was very nice. The home was clean and lovely. It was certainly well stocked for all your needs. The location was close to stores and restaurants. It was very close to the pool which was great.
The neighborhood was very quiet.
Susan responded to all of our questions or concerns almost immediately.
The biggest drawback was the internet. One moment there was connection and then it was out. It affected me quite a bit because I was still doing some work from away! But the internet also interfered with the television. We were rebooting it several times a day. I do believe it was the area rather than the internet speed.
I would recommend this home.

Beautiful house and area, sparkling clean!!
Our stay in the Villages was wonderful!! The house is very well kept and we found it to be beautifully clean, not a thing out of place. Top marks to the cleaners, you can tell that they take pride in their work, they do an excellent job! My sister and her husband were visiting from England and it was our first trip to the Villages. We will definitely stay in this rental again!

Fantastic House
House was fantastic, Owner is wonderful! Owner was ALWAYS quick to respond to any questions I had before and during our stay.
The ONLY reason I’m not giving this 5 stars is because we did not get a gate pass for our stay and were yelled at more than a few times for not having one when we approached a gate and were told we HAD to have one while staying on the property! When I inquired about this with the Owner I was told just to press the red button, BUT there is not a red button at every gate you go through. So I think this needs to be addressed.
Otherwise the house is WONDERFUL! It is comfortable, well decorated, includes all appliances, small and large, and even a new golf cart! They include basic necessities to get you started, like paper towels, TP, salt and pepper, and a few laundry pods, but we bought our own laundry soap and left it as we’re allergic to so many.
All linens are included as well! Even pool towels!
I can’t say enough great things about this place! We felt like we were at home!!
We can’t wait to go back!

Very nice home away from home.
We found this home very nice. It was located in an area that was close to several amenities. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils. The golf cart was new and a 4 seater which was great when we had guests.
We did contact the agency about a few minor details and found the easiest way to communicate was via e-mail. They were prompt with the issues we had.
