    This is because you have a literal & in the <loc> for Tropicana Golf & Country Resort. You should replace it with &amp;.

    This:

    <url><loc>http://website/ad/541/Linked%20House%20For%20Rent%20in%20Tropicana Golf & Country Resort,%20Tropicana</loc></url>

    Should be:

    <url><loc>http://website/ad/541/Linked%20House%20For%20Rent%20in%20Tropicana Golf &amp; Country Resort,%20Tropicana</loc></url>
