This house was perfect..,lots of extra supplies, ease of getting access to the golf cart and in a great central location. It was great to photograph herons and a hawk that sat across the street each night.. what a bonus. The owners/AJ concierge were very responsive throughout the entire process. I will definitely rent from them again at this address.

What a special bonus to be able to photograph the herons and hawk during your visit! Those unique wildlife moments often become some of the best memories of a stay in The Villages.
We truly appreciate your kind words about our responsiveness and communication throughout the process. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.

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!
Home was exactly like photos clean, well stocked Kitchen, very well decorated rooms, bathrooms had loads of towels.Host gives you all the information you need for arrival/departure. Answers any questions promptly. We never had any problems during our stay but sure if we had one host would have sorted it promptly and professionally.
