I wish there was a better arrangement for laundry. Maybe a token system that you get a certain allotment upon checking and can purchase more at the lobby.

We loved our stay! Great location near driftwood beach where our grandson and his bride were married. Our three daughters had ocean front condos also, and we were all close to each other! Bathroom was very small, but for two people it was workable.

The villa was nice - bathroom was a bit small, but appliances were modern and the furniture was clean and comfortable. We would be happy to stay there again!The only real issue had absolutely nothing to do with the villa itself - but the beach access walkways at Villa by the Sea were all closed off due to unrepaired damage from Hurricane Helene. We look forward to staying at VBTS next year and hope it is fixed by then!

Great couple getaway!

We stayed here on an anniversary trip. We loved the villa, it was clean and had everything we needed. It was the perfect size for a couple. The area is nice. I would recommend bringing a fire stick if you like to stream. They do have TVs with DirecTV though. We didn’t come to watch TV though, so we were unbothered by it.

Cozy Spot

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This one bedroom villa was just the right size for us. It was very quiet and private feeling. We like to cook,so the kitchen could have been outfitted with better utensils and cookware.

Cozy Villa by the Ocean

The Villa was the perfect size. Very quiet. The ocean was just a few steps away. Driftwood beach was very close and amazing. We had one housekeeping issue at the beginning of our stay and some confusion with the host on a phone call. Was resolved quickly once clarified. Otherwise the villa was very clean.we enjoyed the golf courses and restaurants on the Island.

This was a nice mini-condo, suitable for a couple or family with small children. It was clean and had good amount of kitchen supplies. Bed was comfortable, and quiet at night. Parking is easy. Nice pool. Bathroom is very small, and tub/shower doesn’t have safety handles so may not be suitable for elderly couple or someone with mobility/balance issues. The beach access is still under repair. Looks like it is being worked on. So check if that is your goal. We didn’t mind walking a bit which takes you to driftwood beach. We road our bikes down on the beach and on all the great trails on the island. We had a great time.

Relaxing, quiet stay with partial ocean view

The unit is as described and extremely clean. Bed is comfy; linens are nice. Ceiling fans appreciated. I enjoyed sitting in the small patio.The property manager rapidly responds to questions. Communications were clear and timely.Make sure you pick up groceries, toilet paper etc. before you enter the island as groceries available are minimum and expensive.

Mixed Review

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The room was tight but OK. Our issue was the odor we noticed when coming into the room. We guess the room was recently occupied by a heavy smoker. The smell was in the air conditioning system and if you came into the room while the air was running, you definitely noticed the odor. Parker-Kaufman, the rental agency, was responsive when called. We appreciated the responsiveness. The room cost was at the top of the room rates.
