This villa is AMAZING. The location is fabulous and it feels like you have your own private pool because of the proximity. When we arrived we asked about early check in and we were surprised that we were able to get one. The bell desk is friendly, they will keep your bags and your groceries even until it’s time to get to your room. He encouraged us to cruise around and check out the resort and it’s super beautiful. I liked that they had a quiet pool (we don’t have small kids) but again, because of the proximity of our pool to our villa it felt super private.
We had family over on the first night to have dinner on our lanai. The outdoor kitchen is awesome and the indoor kitchen has most of everything that we needed to BBQ. I always appreciate when previous renters leave behind things (which we did, too) like olive oil, foil, seasonings etc. The stove inside is a bit tricky to figure out. I own a bakery and knew the stove was a type of convection stove and it seems not all the cookware works with it (I could totally be wrong!!) The fridge is amazing but we couldn’t ever figure out the water/ice and had to just buy it from the store. Also the freezer gets stuck super easy and looked like it was missing a piece on it (maybe why it didn’t open/close easily? Try and figure those things out early and show everyone in your party- we had three teens and the fridge got left open one night because of the sticky doors.
The house is very nice- easy to figure out AC and fans. The garage is great, too! We loved having the use of the cooler, body boards and chairs! What a great thing to provide for your guests. This was a really awesome touch!!
We had some issues with the bathrooms clogging up. The first time they sent help but we thought it was us— like maybe it’s a slower flush than we were used to. This ended up being a bummer that we sent them a way though because it happened again the next day and we couldn’t use two of the bathrooms. No plungers on site but I get how that might be frowned upon by owners for cleanliness. The owner was super responsive every time we had any issues though and very kind. Also- the soaps and shampoos weren’t filled for us but again, they responded immediately and sent someone to fill them.
This was an amazing vacation and place to stay. We had three teens in our blended family and it was plenty of room for everyone. There were extra linens, irons, blow dryer etc. I loved that we had breakfast daily in our villa and then snacks all day- it allowed us to save money for the big activities we did. This location was perfect for us too! A 5 minute walk to the beach, a private (just about) pool, spa and fire pit and just the nicest and friendliest owners. We will 💯 book this villa again.
