[Dirigo]

We went through thevillages4rent and had a bad experience.

The owner advertised light housekeeping twice a month, but they didn't "have anyone" to do during the three months we rented. No adjustment to the rent was made.

Their towels were threadbare and stained, the golf cart provided was a 1989 POS we nicknamed "The Flinstone Flyer". We ended up renting a safer, more reliable cart at our own expense (owner wouldn't contribute to the replacement cart rental).

The carpets needed cleaning, the place looked like it was furnished from thrift stores and the dollar store. We had to buy new dishware and silverware because nothing matched and the silverware would bend in normal use it was so thin.

Wireless internet was part of the deal but we had to pay for it and they would reimburse us...we had to bug them for it, but they finally did pay us.

When we complained about the dirty carpets, worn furniture, dangerous golf cart, and cheap kitchen ware we were told "our standards were too high".

If at all possible, have someone check out the place before you rent. In the end we paid $7900 for three months in their undesirable patio villa. when we got home after the three month rental we were impressed with the superior condition and furnishings of our humble abode up north.
