What I loved about my stay at the Villa:
1. Marlow is an EXCELLENT host! Most communicative host I’ve ever had, which made the “checking in and out” process as well as the stay a lot easier. She also had a lot of good recommendations for the area which helped us save time looking up places to go and what to do.
2. Location of the property is absolutely incredible, you can view the Sound right off the front porch. We felt safe as well.
3. The Villa was extremely clean, spotless. The linens were so clean as well, hotel quality.
4. The Villa is very spacious, the kitchen is amazing and luxurious with Viking appliances and all the utensils and tools you may need to cook meals. The bed is comfortable and the shower is luxuriously spacious. The Villa has a great office space as well.
What I wish had been better:
1. When we arrived we were greeted by a dirty fountain, with green water and dead leaves. For the price we paid we expected better property maintenance outside.
2. The pictures depict the Villa’s decor pretty well, but once you are there it’s a whole lot to take in, sort of a mix of couture and mid century style, which wasn’t our thing. We felt like the portraits were all starting at us the whole time, and there was some obscure art on one of the walls which we didn’t appreciate granted we were on a summer, happy, relax, beach vacation vibe.
3. The Villa is not a whole house (as the pictures make it seem). It’s part of a house that was made into an apartment. When we booked we thought it was a whole house, but that’s on us for not reading the property description which we realized Marlow did a pretty good job describing the property, once we read it.
4. Some of the windows were unlocked when I checked them before going to bed. There was a homeless guy hanging out on the corner (harmless, we felt safe regardless) but when you stay definitely check the windows to make sure they are locked.
