Even through COVID we have managed to have some lovely guests stay at the villa, mostly American. This is what Michelle and her lovely family from NY thought:
"My family and I loved this home. Beautiful home with lots of space. John the property manager was great and so helpful.
Brand new larger kitchen was amazing with white cabinets and granite counter tops (not in the current photos; also not in current photos - new dining room chairs and bedding in some bedrooms was very nice too). The master bedroom has its own bathroom with tub and walk in shower off the pool area situated at the back of the house.
Two other bedrooms share a full bath at the front of the house, which was perfect for my kids and the fourth bedroom was on the other side of the house with its own full bathroom too, which was perfect for grandma!
We so enjoyed the recreation room and relaxing in the heated pool and hot tub and eating outside.
The neighborhood is quiet but for the wildlife! We loved the ugly ducks (not so ugly), sandhill cranes and egrets as we relaxed by the pool. Plenty of stores and place to eat nearby on John Young Parkway and Vine Street (approximately 15 minute drive). 7-11 and gas station right outside the community complex and a Dollar General very close by - good for grabbing snacks, sunblock etc. and of course there is always the 24 hour Walmart with a giant grocery section and pool noodles!
We had a wonderful and relaxing time here and would definitely return. Also highly recommend The Spirit of the Swamp airboat tour about 30 minute drive - well worth it - beautiful views, flowers, birds and yes alligators!
We had a wonderful, fun and relaxing stay. Will definitely return."
