Hosting a get-together at this house was an excellent idea. The photos on the profile were true-to-life and communication with the Villatel team was effortless. Moreover, it had wonderful decorations and was spacious enough to accommodate a good number of guests.

Melbourne Beach
Nice house near the beach but a bit far from activities. Expected more of a hotel experience given it is called Villatel but that was lacking. Hotel activities did not happen.

Thanks for staying with Villatel. We enjoyed hosting your vacation and hope you and your guests enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again soon!
I highly recommend this property. The Indian River to Atlantic Ocean property offered a variety of rental accommodations and amenities. Our house was perfectly suited to our three adult children and their families. The pool, theater, game room and the arcade games area really rounded out the house. Plenty of beds and baths...even a bathroom next to the pool. Short walk to the beach and larger Villatel family pool which was walk in with fountains for smaller children. Lots of little restaurants and boutiques nearby and bigger shopping options a short drive away. Easy to get to from I95. Best "adult" family vacation so far. Thank you so much.

Ultra-spacious living and dining rooms
Epic themed bedrooms for kids
Arcades and movie theaters
Fully stocked kitchens with high-end appliances
The most UNIQUE and MEMORABLE amenities to make your vacay experience unforgettable—from bowling alleys and treehouse rooms to indoor ninja obstacle courses, casinos, karaoke rooms, and huge spa pools.
Gone are the days of bunking with all the kids on squeaky cots, or trekking across land and sea, only to discover that those online pictures you thought you’d be seeing in person…are actually 15 years old! When you book with Villatel, you can rest assured that you and your crew will enjoy a new kind of vacation experience—in a custom-designed home that’s consistently beautiful & reliable, and offers great value.
