A Quiet, Relaxing Villa

The villa was very clean and equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Everyone we encountered on the property was very friendly. We especially liked the fact that there was 24/7 security at the gated entry. We were there for the beaches which were very convenient. We definitely recommend this villa and would stay there again.

Home away from home!

I seriously felt like this was MY apartment that I have lived in all my life. This was a very homey feeling space and I loved every minute of it. So close to the beach that we went EVERYDAY! (Sorry about all the sand on the floor!) I hope that I can book the same space again later this summer or fall!

Cute Beach Stay

This unit was great! The proximity to the *practically private* beach was the best part for sure. It was clean and had pretty much everything we needed. Adding an umbrella to the closet with beach items would be perfect. The restaurant on the property was good too, their brunch was delicious. I would recommend getting a rental car as most of the restaurants are not in walking distance. Overall, would recommend the condo and area.

Great stay!

We had a very nice time here....the condo was extremely clean and well organized with many extras included....towels, sheets, beach chairs and beach bags, etc. Upon checking in we had a small issue with the TV which was immediately taken care of by the owner, Jameli and the property manager Sharon. They were both very helpful and approachable. The beach and the pools were just divine! Would recommend.

Time away

This is our second time at this place, but the first time with this landlord and rental. We had a wonderful time. We golfed, played shuffle board, had beach time and pool time. The weather was wonderful. The landlord was great. There was a small problem and he was quick to reach out and resolve the issue. Highly recommend this place!

A decent place…

This is my 2nd year staying here. It was not what it was last year…there was a Keurig coffee maker and a toaster last year and not this year…the rest of the condo was nice but the shower curtain had mold all over the bottom of it and definitely needs to be replaced asap. And the keypad on the door didn’t work this year. It was a little bit of an inconvenience only having one key with 2 people staying in the condo. Overall it was a decent place to stay just needs to fix minor issues
