The open and light-filled living area creates a welcoming atmosphere and connects seamlessly to the modern, fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.

Great location. Easy check in/out. The floors weren’t super clean but they had someone come back out right away to address it. Nice house but needs some updating of some stuff. It could use some new kitchen utensils and pans. Overall great house. Make sure to bring all your toiletries, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry soap etc.

Family vacation

This is a wonderful house with a lots of space and a big plus that all bedrooms are en-suite. And the master bath was amazing! How ever the smaller bedrooms could use some update, the beds were not that comfy. The house is in a good calm neighborhood and close to Publix and wonderful with all the bikes for us to use. It was perfect that the kitchen even had som spices and other small things to use for cooking. We loved to hang around the pool during the day and had our meals around the big table outside by the pool. I’m a bit disappointed that the chair down at the Tiki hut still wasn’t replaced so there were only 3 chairs so we didn’t get to use that so much. Be aware that the electric bill will be quite high with the air conditioner running. Over all this is a great house and we would absolutely recommend it!

Good place to relax

Only issue we had was beds and bedding need updated. Mattresses not very comfy. Home had pretty much everything you need for your stay. We couldn’t get whole house speakers to work and when we texted number in manual no one responded but luckily we packed a beach speaker we used. No pool towels so pack your own. Also need a smaller pool net for skimming floaters but that really wasn’t a huge deal. Home was well maintained but bedrooms could use some updating. We had a small issue with pool bathroom toilet overflowing but we’re able to fix ourselves but probably should be looked at for future guests. Overall our experience was pretty good.

Dear Vacation Guest, Thank you very much for your review. We're glad you found your stay at Villa Santa Monica relaxing despite a few minor issues. One point about the beach / pool towels; there definitely should be some at the home and we apologize that you did not have any during your stay. Generally speaking, if anything is missing that is considered standard equipment, whether it's towels or a hair dryer or a coffee maker, the property manager will provide these items when notified that they are missing.

Nice location, house had nice layout

Pros: location, quiet neighborhood, layout of home was great for 3 adult couples, salt water pool and hot tub were nice. Master suite is awesome. Prompt response when we called with an issue. Fun fishing. Nice couch in family room for 6 seated comfortably. Enjoyed the tiki hut. No mosquitoes. Cons: appliances need updating, ice maker did not work thru door, oven temp is way too low, dryer door was falling off but was promptly repaired after we called, missing garage door opener upon arrival (Sven promptly got us one). Chandelier over dining table hasn’t been cleaned in a long time :). Mattresses in smaller rooms so so. Boat was reserved but was broken, upholstery is torn and boat was dirty. Got refund promptly. 9

Nice place, needs updated pictures and a little love

First and foremost, this is a beautiful property, with tons of space, and a beautiful lanai. Having said that, the pictures you see online are a bit outdated and don't show the current condition of everything. For example, the tiki hut is showing its age and is need of repair. There were only 3 chairs at the tiki hut and one of them had a repair done with duct tape. The chairs that were on the deck in the pictures aren't on the property (fish chairs) and if you were looking forward to playing ping-pong, you'd find the table is warped from being outside. Beyond that, there are a number of things that need to be addressed. As others have mentioned, the hot tub is inconvenient to use given that the control pad by the hot tub doesn't work. You have to use the control panel to use the tub and getting to the control panel isn't easy. The patio chairs only had cushions on one or two of the chairs, making them uncomfortable to sit on. Inside the house, it would be nice to have slightly nicer/better towels and bedding. For convenience of the renters, it would also be nice to have a few laundry and dishwasher pods (we bought laundry pods and left them for the next visitors) as well as extra toilet paper and paper towels (we bought both and left it for the next renters). In addition, it would be nice to have at least a hotel sized bar of soap in the showers so you don't have to run to the store upon arrival to make sure you can shower in the morning. Having said that, this is a very nice home that definitely had money put into it. The floors are very nice and all of the bedrooms having their own dedicated bathroom is very nice. The pool was great as well. Overall, we had a great stay and we really enjoyed our week there.

Dear Vacation Guest, Thank you very much for your detailed review. We're glad you had an enjoyable time at Villa Santa Monica. The repair of the Tiki hut roof has been ordered, and we will add a dock chair and the necessary cushions.. We replace linens and towels as needed. An initial supply of detergent, dishwashing pods, paper towels etc. should have been provided (just not shower gel). We apologize if that was not the case. Thank you for leaving some for the next guests, that is very kind of you! It would be a pleasure to welcome you back anytime in the future. Sincerely, The Comfort Homes Team

Für Lage und Ausstattung zu teuer

Also mir hat dieses übersichtliche und sehr funktionale Haus gut gefallen, auch wenn es kleiner ist als es die Bilder vermuten lassen, was speziell für den Pool gilt. Den Zustand würde ich als leicht wartungsbedürftig bezeichnen. Die Ausstattung ist mittel: Fahrräder, Kanus und schnelles Internet vorhanden, beim TV wollte aufgrund des Alters keine Freude aufkommen, ein Gerät war defekt, Seifen- und Spülmittelreste, angebrochenes Toilettenpapier. Das geht bei diesem Preis anders. Die Nachbarschaft ist freundlich, aber es ist recht laut, weil das Haus nur knapp 200 Meter von der Hauptstrasse entfernt liegt. Ärgerlich war, dass der Pool vor unserer Anreise nicht geprüft wurde. Eine Woche hat es gedauert bis der Pool sauber, kühl und klar war inklusive lärmender, permanent laufender Pumpe und täglichem Technikerbesuch. Fünf Tage konnten wir den Pool gar nicht nutzen. Das tut weh, wenn man viel Geld bezahlt und nur 14 Tage Jahresurlaub hat. Zwar wurde uns auf Forderung eine Streichung der Stromkosten von knapp 160 Dollar angeboten, ob das ausreichend ist, mag jeder selbst entscheiden.

Great house for a family holiday!

Overall the house itself was spectacular. It was spacious and accommodated our family over Christmas week. It was clean and very well stocked with everything we needed from kitchenware to beach towels. Our five kids range from 16-25, some were in the area and visited us daily. The house was a fun place to entertain. The beds were just okay, I would expect a little better quality mattress. There were no mattress pads on some of the beds. The one main issue we did have was the operation of the spa/pool. I will say the property management company compensated for the issue. I am satisfied with how they handled it. Unfortunately, the pool/spa does not have written instructions on how to operate it, which would have been helpful to know how to heat it on our first night. I now understand when others say it was a pain to operate. You should know it requires getting up on a platform on uneven ground. It was not an issue for us but I can see for some it would be difficult. On the second night, the pool filter stopped filling. We had to wait for the tech to come to fix the problem a few days later. It was Christmas, I didn't expect anyone to come out. The property managers were very kind and easy to work with.

Amazing

The house has 4 bedrooms each with a full bath. The pool/spa is saltwater which I loved. The lanai is not slippery like some, which was very nice. The bikes were great, it was really hot outside for riding, so mornings were the best time. I rented a pontoon boat for 3 days that we tied to the dock. However, it took an hour of driving, in the no wake zone, to get to the bridge, where you can open it up and go fast. Keep in mind the horsepower of the boat, ours was 50hp, and the fastest speed was 12 mph. Ping pong, fooseball and the board with hook game were all on lanai. Everyone had fun. I can’t say enough good things. The most important part was the quick action from the property manager, Sven. Sven texted me or called me back if I had a question and was awesome. Loved this house!
