The pool only heated part of the time, but that’s OK. We never use it much. The furniture could use some update and definitely the patio needed some tables to eat at outside.

Winter escape
The villa was well-equipped and very clean. Beds and interior furniture were very comfortable. The view was peaceful, with lots of wildlife: birds, gators and deer. Only downside was exterior furniture overlooking the pool. Very cheap quality and uncomfortable.Also, not knowing the address until one hour before check-in made it difficult to forward mail. We ended up forwarding to a friend’s address instead. We thought this was an unnecessary inconvenience, given the fact that it was in a gated community and our access to the unit was limited by the gate before check-in.
