Very spacious villa which fit our large group easily. It’s in a great location. Sadly we stayed during the worst rain in a long time and didn’t get to use the outdoor facilities very much.
Lovely villa everything you need and more. Loads of space, fab pool area. We had the best time. Lovely area and only a 20 minute walk to Vilamoura marina. No negatives at all! Would definitely recommend and may well be back!
Perfect location, great villa, perfect for our 3 year old very safe, teenagers and adults all loved it. would stay again.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Excellent location and plenty of space for everyone.Excellent communication with the host.Felt a little bit tired and dated in places especially the sun loungers .....they felt very grubby. Other than that we had a lovely stay and would definitely consider staying again.

Top quality villa in a picturesque location, it was absolutely perfect for what our group wanted.
The owners were extremely helpful and accommodating and even ensured we had a place to store our luggage due to the 10am check-out on the final day. We had a perfect holiday and would go back again!

Glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome to back soon, The Higgs Family
Fabulous property our children loved the pool and hot tub which was well looked after
Beach towels provided . This was our second stay and it did not disappoint!
We all enjoyed a wonderful two weeks in Oakdene. The villa is beautifully laid out and furnished with much attentention to detail. I would thoroughly recommend this villa for a holiday in Vilamoura
We were a few long term friends getting away for a relaxing break and this property and what an amazing time we had! Spacious, clean, well equipped and just a short walk to the marina. Will definitely be back!
Beautiful property for our 5 adults. Extremely spacious and clean. Loved the location which allowed us to visit all along the Algarve. Very responsive and accommodating host. Highly recommend
We had a great time at the villa, very spacious. We were 3 generations so it worked well. Great location. Some of the pool area needs updated or fixing but didn’t stop us using it. Lovely place would stay again.
Everything about this place is perfect. I moved five times on this trip and this villa was the best. So glad there is incredible places like this to stay in while traveling
We had a fantastic stay at Casa Oakdene. The property was as described and everything you could possibly need was provided. We would most definitely return and would highly recommend
We had a fantastic holiday at Dan's beautiful Villa. It was a true home from home from the beautiful decor to the great location of all the local amenities. The heated pool came in handy! A very relaxing, chilled holiday just what we needed and we will definitely be back.
