This property was clean and comfortable for a family of five. Best of all, it's about a 3 minute walk to a very nice beach, which made spending plenty of time relaxing by the ocean so easy, especially with younger children. We would definitely stay again.
This was a perfect property for a long girl's weekend. Walk or bike to many great places for food and shopping. Home well equipped and clean. Had a wonderful time.
We really enjoyed the location of this property. Steps from the beach and lots of food/coffee options. The property manager was very easy to work with and helpful. The garage is small so don’t rent a large car or truck if planning to use the garage.
Super one minute to the beach. 20 minutes to seaworld and old town. Be carefully when parking, tickets for wrong parking start at 50$ and they check.

Loved the location!!
I stayed here with my two kids and really enjoyed it. Our unit had a view of the beach/sunsets which was awesome. The apartment was nicely decorated and had pretty much everything we needed. The only downside was an electrical issue that was being fixed when we left. We would definitely stay here again.

Stephanie and her family were wonderful guests! They were our first "full" house of guests using lots of computers, cell phones, hair dryers and all the electrical appliances that we need today...in addition to electric space heaters as she was here during a chilly week. She had a challenge with blowing fuses. We scheduled an electrician on the day of her departure to fix the issue..trying to correct the problem during her stay would have further interrupted her vacation. We've had guests since her stay and have no reported problems. Everything is fixed. We offered the Koshak's a refund or discount on a future stay. We were delighted when they agreed to a discount on a future stay. We look forward to welcoming them back later this spring. Stephanie....we hope to score five of five stars on the next stay!
The only issue we had, was someone else was parked in front of our garage, notified Megan and we were instructed to park in front of another garage.

Great little place by the beach
We really enjoyed our stay. It was a perfect size for our family of 5 and just down the street from a great beach. The kids had surf lessons just one block over on Law St. The beds are really comfortable and even the sofa bed worked well for us. The barbecue was in great shape and we used it almost every day. Parking was not too much of a problem even during 4th of July week. Would definitely stay again.

We are thrilled that these guests had a great stay.....we think that Villa Blanca is the perfect place and location for a family vacation. Parking is plentiful in this are but as of mid July this apartment also comes with a private garage.
You could see the ocean from the windows thus a perfect location! The apartment was clean, in good repair and relatively spacious. It was very inviting and the price is right. Highly recommend.
We loved the location-close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Property managers were very responsive-the bulbs burned out in the bathroom and they were replaced promptly. The hot water and water pressure in the bathroom were
awesome.

Really quit, cool, comfortable apartment. Great yard and surroundings. Good place to decompress. Had a tub draining problem which required call to property manager and then a plumber next day, but it was handled. Nice relaxing stay.
Great apartment for small family! Does not have porch with view! Can see a bit of Ocean from family room & master bedroom! Needs fans! No
AC! Garage door needs fixing!Great location beach & restaurants close by easy walking!
This was a beautiful apartment and in the center of everything. We enjoyed beach walks with my daughter and families coming in every day for the wedding. The place was super clean and well-appointed. We had both the bride and groom over for a get-to-know-each-other dinner. The place was perfect for that. Fabulous response from Megan the Property Manager when we could not figure out tv and she went above and beyond replacing lightbulbs. We will return!
