The place was well appointed. The walk to the beach was not as close as I would have liked but it was a short walk, less than three minutes. We picked this unit due to the rooftop porch. It was not as I had expected. My husband is only 205 lbs and we thought he was going to crack the steps going up, it made such an awful sound. Other than that, no complaints.

Nice little stay

We enjoyed a long weekend at the villa. The villa looks exactly as described. The kitchen was nicely stocked with both a drip coffee maker and k cup coffee maker. It was a short walk to the gorgeous gulf ocean. But be aware the mosquitos were crazy. We had to spray ourselves down before we walked to the beach. We did see mosquito control working on the problem.
