To prospective guests... Re "tired, lack of updating" -- look at pics and other reviews; "holes in blanket" and "some mixing bowls were not cleaned thoroughly" -- I'll have property mgr assess and I'll correct accordingly; Re "not an oceanview villa" -- my headline reads "Resort Villa, Private Oceanfront Beach, Heated Pool, IntraCoastal Gathering." Plus, I sent guest a diagram of the property with the location my my villa. Plus, the Property Description/ Location Specifics states, "Within the resort property this villa is located on the intracoastal/west side adjacent to Hillsboro Mile (A1A). It is secluded from this historic roadway via lush tropical landscaping which also partially screens sightlines to other resort guests on footpaths as they travel to and fro. See pics." The reason I list "ocean view" in the "Popular amenities" section is because most of my guests spend most of their time each day on resort's private ocean front beach. Net-net, I ask that you make-up your own mind after reviewing my listing information. Tom Jenks, owner & host of Villa V, in the Royal Flamingo Villas resort.

Thanks Barb! Until next time! tom

Thanks Christopher, looking forward to your return. tom

Phyllis -- Thanks for the review. Glad you enjoyed your stay. To prospective guests... I show RFV's private beach as my lead listing pic because the private beach is where most of our guests spend most of their primetime hours during their stay. RFV's private beach and the pool are our most popular amenities. I encourage prospective guests to at least peruse the pics and the property description narative. Tom (owner)

Thanks, Laurie for taking time to communicate to prospective guests what you especially enjoyed during your stay.. Looking forward to your return. Tom

Hi Deborah, THANKS for providing your feedback. I'm pleased overall you enjoyed your stay, and also thanks for noting some of the attributes of Villa V you appreciated. Unfortunately, your public review was the first I learned of your dissatisfactions. So, my response that follows is for other travelers who are considering staying in Villa V. 1) THE MATTRESS - I ordered a new mattress this AM, Apr16, 2022. It will be installed within 3-10 days. Indeed, this situation is strange, as I had stayed in Villa V using said bed from mid-Dec, 2021 to Feb10, 2022, without any discomfort, and had not heard from any complaints from guests over the past two months. Moreover, I had replaced said mattress in Jan of 2020 for $2,500! I do wonder why the mattress rapidly became uncomfortable, which my subsequent guest confirmed. Net-net, I have begun a new mattress vendor relationship! "We'll see, said the Zen Master. 2) That "NEXT TO THE ROAD" (A1A) was too noisy for the recent guest, which I have to admit is somewhat understandable. Why? My experience (I rent 6 villas at RFV, now more than 600 reservations since 2014) is about 20-25% of the marketplace is ultra-light/sensitive sleepers. That said, there's really nothing I can do beyond what I've already done. What have I done? A) provided a high-quality nature noise machine in bedroom (I occasionally set it to ocean waves for a change of pace, though I'm not a light, sensitive sleeper; but other guests have said it works great; B) Provided extensive, dense landscaping, which blocks site-lines to A1A, and mitigates the noise; C), provided an accurate description, numerous pics AND a property diagram that clearly shows the position of Villa V adjacent the road (hence, the complaint is also somewhat NOT understandable); and d) Adjusted the rate a bit lower than the std rate set by our resort, except for peak-demand time periods (primarily holidays and Jan-Mar). Moreover... I've considered replacing the bedroom windows with the latest-greatest hurricane windows, but that would cost about $15,000+. So, the payback (about 10 years) unfortunately on such an investment doesn't make sense. So, for now I provide affordable noise mitigations, priced V accordingly, and accurately describe V's location along with numerous pics, AND finally, I provide a property diagram. So, if you're a sensitive sleeper that a quality nature noise machine can't mitigate, AND you have other attractive/affordable options when considering all factors (i.e., furnishings, appliances, electronics, decorating, accessories, landscaping, etc.), then Villa V perhaps is not your best option. On the other hand, if some occasional road noise (mostly it's motorcycles, which rarely ride late/middle of night and not in the early AM), then Villa V can be a compelling value for you. Lastly, I do encourage you to check all the other reviews for Villa V so you can gain a sense for my forthrightness and reliability. Tom (owner)
