Charming 3BR Home in The Villages: Your Florida Retreat Awaits!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a nicely maintained 3Bed 2Bath house in a quiet neighborhood. The property was clean and ready to move in when we arrived. Down Home PM (DHPM) uses a lock box system to access the house so it is as simple as drive up and move in. There are sufficient personnel amenities and cleaning products for the first few days. It is very conveniently located close to Brownwood Paddock and the shops and restaurants located their. In addition, it is a short golf cart ride away from the Colony shopping center with a Publix, Walmart, 2 gas stations and other establishments. The property does not come with a golf cart but there are a number of options at reasonable cost, we used Titan Golf cart rental and could not have been happier.The property is pet friendly and our dog had a small but nice yard to roam in.DHPM was very responsive to our questions and one minor issue. We have used them on multiple occasions and will utilize their services again.

Overall I was happy with the property and the location. However for some reason the home was not cleaned prior to my arrival. It took me a few days to realize this as I am a single guy, and don't see well without my glasses which I don't typically wear to bed or in the bathroom. So took a few days to realized the bed had no sheets or pillow cases, and the toilet and sink were not cleaned. Then found a pile of dirty towels in the laundry room. I washed and cleaned everything and made the bed because I did not want to wait for a cleaner to show up. A few days later I checked the 2nd bedroom. Same situation no linens. Took me a while to find the dirty ones, stowed away in the closet. This time I reported all this to the property manager, but went ahead and cleaned everything myself, and made the bed. The rest of my stay was fine until check out day. I returned to the house on 1/30 expecting to stay for one more night and found the house had been cleaned and the few things I had not pre-packed were stacked up on the kitchen counters and the bedroom closet. After calling the answering service of the property manager I realized it was my error, and I should have left earlier that day. I did leave the unit at 7PM and stayed the remaining night with nearby family. The unit obviously was not being occupied on 1/30 as no new tenant showed up. I turned in all keys, etc at 8:15AM on 1/31 to the property manager. Here's why I thought I was in the unit until 1/31. I received a confirmation from VRBO that I could stay in the home from 1/1/22 until 1/31/22 and bought my airline tickets accordingly. When the property manger started the lease agreement, they said I could not start the lease on 1/1/22 due to the holiday. In addition they needed 2 days for cleaning at the end of the lease, insisting I leave on 1/30. I was ready to pay for 31 nights, so the owner lost out of some potential revenue. They obvious cleaned the place in less then 1/2 day on the back end, while managing to not clean it at all on the front end. I will be requesting a refund from the property manger of the cleaning deposit I was charged. If you can help with this it would be appreciated. I ended up staying 2 nights with family, 1 night prior to the rental start and 1 night at the end of the rental. Things would have been a lot easier if I could have stayed the 31 nights I had planned on. Very lucky I had family nearby or I would have had to pay for hotel rooms.
