Sunny Home in The Villages w/ Pool Access!

Reviews

• Total Loss

  1/5

  Our first sight when we opened the door was a filthy carpet. The house smelled strongly of gas fumes which gave me a headache. There was mold on the shower curtain, the toilet leaked, the second bed was un-useable and the master bed sheets were pilled. The cupboards were full of left-over spices and the garage was half full of junk, leaving no room for a golf cart. Some of the furniture was broken. We left after one night. Our contact at Evolve said she would recommend removing this house from the list and would try to get us a refund, but we have not heard anything about that yet.

• Wonderful location but poor upkeep.

  3/5

  The house maintenance was poor. The carpet had large stains & was bunched upon areas. The lighting in the main bathroom appeared to have short as it blinked like someone sending Morse code. The lawn had no maintenance being done, weeds everywhere. The screen on the porch was loose.The grill was not usable & filthy. We did not rent this house because of all this.

• Cute home perfect for visiting with family in The Villages

  5/5

  Just the right size for a family of 4. Clean and welcoming and very easy check in process. Perfect location for a visit with parents who live in The Villages. Pictures are accurate.

• Owners' carelessness and deceptive information

  2/5

  I am a professor in the North East with family in Fruitland Park. I came to visit them for the holidays and rented the property to have quiet time for writing and grading during my visit while avoiding Covid situations. When I arrived the property was not ready for renting. "the whole house" did not even have available closets (filled with owners stuff), the carpet had just been cleaned and was wet so I couldn't move my stuff until later, there were no proper linens (e.g., no hand towels, no sufficient or right size sheets for changing beds). the property manager was very responsive but there was so much she could do. I ended up with a house for two weeks where the owners' property was stacked in the garage so I could use the closets (some space was left available for my car) and where I could hardly sleep because of the poor quality of the bed and bedding. My prior experience renting a similar size house in the Villages during the summer was excellent in every possible sense, so I was expecting the same experience this time. If what happened this time is the rule, and my summer rental was the exception, the only thing I can say is I will never trust ever again these systems for renting short-term property.
