Home was beautiful and in a perfect location with close access to stores, restaurants and village squares. My only complaint would be lack of essential supplies (toilet paper, kleenex). For the high rental rate, i would expect these furnished. Ive stayed at same quality homes for much less and the homes were well stocked with toiletries and various kitchen items, etc.

Hi Betty Lou, First of all, thank you for being such a wonderful guest—we truly appreciate you staying with us and taking the time to share your feedback. I did want to mention that we provided all the items outlined in our listing and in the Frequently Asked Questions email sent right after booking (included below for reference). I also double-checked our inspection report, and we do have confirmation that all starter supplies were placed in the home prior to your arrival. That said, we genuinely value your feedback. We understand how expectations can vary, especially when comparing experiences across different homes, and your comments are helpful as we continue working to enhance the guest experience and remain competitive. We will absolutely take this into consideration as an opportunity to improve. Thank you again for your constructive input, and we truly hope to have the opportunity to host you again on a future visit to The Villages. Wishing you a wonderful evening, Reference of our communication sent at booking: What do the homes include?

The property also includes basic starter supplies: • Coffee (2–4 pods or ground coffee) • Cleaning supplies (starter) • Toilet paper (two rolls per bathroom) • Paper towels (two rolls) • Starter dishwasher and laundry pods

The description should somehow state that there is NO backyard. Seriously, it's about 5 feet and you are looking directly into someone's house. The location is, however, great as it's near restaurants, a golf course and just off the main highway.
