Central Pkwy which runs right outside the bedroom windows has truck traffic beginning at 4:00 am. Many sleepless nights!Hosts need to provide toilet cleaning supplies The composite wood floors turned our bare feet black. Consequently the white master bath rugs turned very dirty at the end of the month. All else was as expected. Nicely furnished. Comfy.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Mar 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience—we truly appreciate your feedback, especially for a longer stay. First and foremost, we sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you encountered. Please know that we take matters like this very seriously. Had we been aware during your stay, we would have acted immediately—whether that meant delivering any missing supplies or sending our team back out to address the flooring and ensure everything was brought back to our standards. We always encourage our guests to reach out right away, as we are committed to resolving any concerns as quickly as possible. Regarding the early morning traffic, we understand how that can impact comfort. This is tied to ongoing activity in the surrounding area, and as development progresses, it typically becomes much quieter over time. That said, we truly appreciate your patience and understanding. We’re grateful for the care you showed during your stay and for highlighting the positives as well. At A&J, we are continuously improving to deliver the best possible experience across our vacation rentals in The Villages, and your feedback helps us do just that. We would welcome the opportunity to provide you with a much improved stay in the future.
