Hi Charles! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a glowing review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. Your kind words truly mean a lot to our team. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
House was great - kids loved the Mermaid bunk room, pool, basketball & PacMan games and game room. Community pool was a plus. Kids loved the addition of Face painting on the 4th and adults enjoyed the music. Beach access was also a plus!
Great time enjoyed by all - we’ll be back!

Our trip was absolutely amazing! One of my favorite moments was sipping my morning coffee on the back porch, admiring the stunning view of the pool. I must say, the pool area was exceptionally well-maintained and added an extra touch of luxury to our experience.

Perfect location! 5-minute walk to the beach. Nice pool, hot tub. House was clean and spacious, beds comfortable, kitchen fairly well-stocked, although no basics like salt and pepper, foil, baggies or measuring cups. Plenty of beach towels! Access to clubhouse pool was nice. Kids loved the arcade games. We would return. Excellent stay!

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had the chance to visit once again and secure this amazing property. It not only offered us plenty of space, but its prime location was a true gem. One of our favorite features were the screened-in porches, which added an extra touch of charm and relaxation. Without a doubt, this will be our top choice for future trips!

It was an amazing place to stay. They house was clean and comfortable for the 10 of us. Our only gripe was the internet was spotty while trying to watch movies in the movie room. It just made us spend more time together lol

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!
We loved this house, it had plenty of space for our big family group and a fun kids bedroom! The game rooms and theater room was perfect for rainy days, and it was a quick 2 block walk to the beach. The only feedback I have is it would be nice to have an entry rug by the front door and sliding door as it gets slippery in and out of the pool.

My only complaint is the lack of dishwasher soap and garbage bags- only 1 each. Had to purchase more-obviously! The dishwasher is not anchored. When we loaded:unloaded it, it would tip forward, beds were comfortable.

Thank you so much for the review and feedback. We are very sorry for the issues incurred during your stay and we take very seriously your feedback. We are working each day to improve our guest's experience to make it better. Again, thank you for choosing Villatel.
I’ve never been charged to use a bbq grill in my life. I’ve never had a rental threaten so many fines in my life. It had us walking on egg shells the entire trip. They were generous enough to leave two dishwasher detergent bags, and two laundry detergent bags. Was expensive to have the pool heated. Extra fees/ cleaning were excessive compared to recent rentals I have Booked. Never again with Villatel
