About this property
Resort Villa, Private Oceanfront Beach, Heated Pool, IntraCoastal Gathering
VISION Upon opening the door this beach-house-stylized villa conveys, “Welcome, you're on vacation in coastal South Florida!”
LOCATION SPECIFICS This Hillsboro Beach villa resides on a private resort property that fully-spans Hillsboro Mile (A1A) from the Atlantic Ocean to the Intracoastal WW. Guests conveniently enjoy the distinct features of both the ocean and intracoastal waterfronts. 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.
RESORT AMENITIES The Royal Flamingo Villas (RFV) resort offer 3 primary amenities: 1) Private Beach, Stairway to Ocean Shoreline Beach, and Beautiful Sunrises; 2) Heated Pool and Patio Sunbathing & Gathering; and 3) Intracoastal Gathering, Shuffle Board Court, and Beautiful Sunsets. See pics.
BASICS This villa is one-half of a duplex of two identical 'mirror-image' units. Villa rooms include: 1 bedroom w/ walk-in closet, 1 tub/shower bathroom, galley kitchen with eating nook, living/gathering room, and a covered private porch. 1950’s constructed 6+” solid-mortar walls provide superior sound insulation from the adjoining villa. Villa furnishings are high-quality wicker-/rattan-framed with comfortable decorative cushions. Furnishings are accompanied by decorative lamps, the latest in led reading/task lights, and accented by a relaxing, fun array of original Florida-themed artworks. A fully equipped kitchen is meant to be used. Dimmable lighting, appliances, cooking accessories, dishes and glassware provide variety and quality consistent with what guests would typically use in their own home. Villa V is central air-conditioned/-heated along with two interior ceiling fans each for gathering room and bedroom. The king-size-bed mattress and box-spring are comparable in comfort to 4/5-star hotels. An amazingly comfortable and easily movable blow-up bed is available to accommodate 3 overnight guests, though a hotel style cot is also available if requested. Monday-Saturday daily maid service is provided for linens & towels. For longer stays housekeepers periodically change bed linens & bathroom towels and clean bathroom(s) & floors. A laundry hut facility (takes quarters) is available on both the west- and east-side of the resort property.
PORCH An underestimated feature of Villa V is an attached covered porch. This very private porch is more aptly described as a 3-sided tropical room useful in nearly any weather condition. Shaded and outfitted with 2 porch chairs, table, lounge, side-table and a ceiling fan, the porch looks southeast onto flowering plantings and the early morning, noon and afternoon sunshine of South Florida. Guests typically move their lounge to the porch side-yard to provide an additional, very convenient sunbathing option. One wall of the porch is a 7’ tall solid-tri-fold wall/door system that divides it from the porch of the adjoining villa. Guests vacationing together in both duplex villas (V & W) typically choose to unlatch this decorative divider to enjoin their porches. Of note, this porch divider system was designed and manufactured to custom specifications by a company that produces similar door systems for Augusta National Golf Club.
BEYOND BASICS This unit is equipped with a high-performance Sony entertainment system. Integrated components include: Bravia 52” HD tv, blue ray DVD player, and a home theater soundbar and woofer speaker system. Content is delivered to the entertainment system via comcast's HD digital package. Beyond Comcast… An in-house library of DVDs is provided. For guests who want to enjoy their own digital libraries of music, movies, videos and photographs, the home theater system can be connected to guests’ i-phones or android devices via standard-wired connections, or paired via Bluetooth wireless technology.
STAYING CONNECTED A dedicated parking space is provided a few steps from the villa backdoor -- an often underestimated convenience particularly for long-stay guests who plan to extensively dine and entertain inside or on porch. Hi-speed wireless internet is provided at no additional charge. Remote-work enablers -- desk, desk chair & task lamp -- are located in bedroom, although the kitchen table also jas a task lamp. That said, guests ironically connect far more with one another vs. the outside world, enjoyably losing track of time, days and weeks!

The highlight of our trip was being able to easily use both the beach area and the inter-coastal area. Every day we visited both areas.Our unit was perfect! It was just the right size for the two of us. The mattress on the bed was so comfortable that I looked forward to going to bed each evening. I had read comments about noise from the road being a problem for some visitors. The noise did not bother us at all. By the time we went to bed there was no road noise. I appreciated having a sleep machine in case it was needed.Our host thought of everything to make our stay a memorable one. There were beach chairs, beach umbrellas and other items available in the unit for our use.The staff at the complex was very accommodating to us. We had a minor issue that the handyman addressed immediately. We were very satisfied with our stay. Thanks Tom!!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The villa was "tired." Worn out cushions on chair, holes in blanket, lack of updating. Some mixing bowls were not cleaned thoroughly. Also, the ad on the Vrbo site said "ocean view." This was not an Oceanview villa - it was right on A1A, noisy and there was no water (intercoastal or ocean) visible. The Royal Flamingo villa property was nicely laid out. Good pool location and partially sheltered beach. We were disappointed by the unit but nevertheless, had an enjoyable time.

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.
This was our 3rd time staying at this villa. We enjoyed our stay, The property is very clean and welcoming and it has everything you need for a joyful vacation. The owner, Tom, is very accomodating to our needs in terms of check-in and check-out and the property managment is very accessible and is ready to address any issue that may arise.

Had a wonderful stay at Villa V again! Since our stay in 2023 we saw several upgrades to the villa and the Flamingo. Perfect location with the pool and the beach. We will be back for sure.

Once again we stayed in Villa V and had a wonderful trip. The property is conveniently located to the pool, beach, restaurants and shopping. I believe this was our 5th stay at Villa V. The villa is beautiful furnished and has a wonderful outdoor porch.
My husband and I have been going to Villa V for 5 years. We love the property, the pool and ocean which are in walking distance from the villa. Beautiful villa with everything you need for a relaxing no stress vacation.

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)
The property is located between the intra-Coastal and the ocean. Watched beautiful sunrises and sunsets. 1 mile walk to the pier if you need to feel some action. Villa V has a great private porch. We hope to return soon.

The property was great and the unit was very well appointed and cozy. However, the bed needs replacing.
Unit V was right on the road, too noisy for me. Yeah I know the noise machine but..
We did enjoy the back porch and its greenery & privacy.

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)
Our Villa was old Florida style. Just as we like it. Excellent location with private beach on one side and intracoastal on the other. All within walking distance. Quiet and relaxing. If you wanted more restaurants and entertainment. It was just a short walk to Deerfield Beach. A pleasant time!

We had a great week. The villa was the perfect size for the two of us. It is a very short walk to the beach. Enjoyed eating lunch on the covered patio and watching the lizards play in the bushes. Having the beach on one side of the community and the Inter-coastal waterway on the other was fun - beautiful sunsets over the waterway. We would definitely return to this villa and recommend it to others couples. Thank you for a great week!

This excellent location has a beautiful beach on one side and the Intracoastal for boat watching on the other. Our apartment was large, clean, and decorated for a resort homey feel. The kitchen was well appointed and included spices! The nearby highway helped our transportation and did not hinder our sleep. We hope to come back in the future.

About the host
Hosted by Tom (owner)
This villa is owned by tom & debbie of wheaton, il. We grew-up in the cleveland and detroit areas, and met at michigan state university in the mid-seventies. We have been enjoying this property and south florida since the 1970's. Tom's professional background is management consulting, primarily representing price waterhouse and ibm. Debbie was a piano teacher for many years, and is still an avid piano player -- for her own enjoyment only! We have two grown children, allyson and stephanie, who grew-up enjoying this property and florida's weather so much they both decided to attend college in fl. Allyson is a florida gator & stetson law school grad who currently resides and practices law in south florida. Stephanie is a graduate of eckerd college in st. Petersburg,. She teaches high school english in Chicago.
Why they chose this property
Extensive domestic and international travel for work, study and vacation has been a common theme of our family. Yet, regardless of the many spectacular places we've been, each of us still immensely enjoy vacationing at these villas -- together as family, with extended family, and individually with friends. Some things don't change. We have been able to accurately say for more than 40 years of evolving interests and perspective, 'at the villas there's something for everyone.' Each year our family invests significant thought, effort and resources improving and updating these villas, while also challenging ourselves to retain the enduring rich nuggets of character and heritage inherent of this truly extraordinary property. Tom & debbie inherited this villa from tom's parents in 2010. We rent this property to help offset the costs of ownership. We sincerely hope our guests enjoy these legacy villas as much as we have, and still do.
