Ruff start with house not clean but the next day New Year's Day Shellie showed up and cleaned the entire house. Great location near Sawgrass and East port. Could have had more cooking pots I bought a big frying pan and left it there. Overall great place and I miss it. First day home 5 degrees in PA Doug PS Host was great!

Doug, thank you so much for your honest and thoughtful review — and especially for your patience at the start. We truly appreciate your understanding while we worked quickly to make things right, and I’m glad Shellie was able to take care of everything for you. It means a lot that you enjoyed the home, the location near Sawgrass and Eastport, and that you’re already missing it — that’s the best compliment we could receive. And thank you as well for leaving the frying pan — that was incredibly thoughtful and will certainly help future guests. Our team at AJ Home Rentals is grateful you chose us for your vacation rental stay in The Villages, Florida, and we would love to welcome you back anytime — hopefully to much warmer weather next time!
