We rented this home (not a villa) for 2 months (Jan/Feb 2013) ad were really disappointed in a few areas. First, the positive things: it was very clean, photos on the web-site were accurate and portrayed what the house actually looked like. Internet was fabulous; very fast. The appliances were very nice, clean, all worked properly. Description of nearby activities and businesses was accurate. The property manager (Julia) was very nice and as helpful as the owners allow her to be. The house is very small but adequate. The beds were new and very comfortable. The neighbors were wonderful, very friendly and helpful.
Now, for the negative side of things. There is NO satellite or cable TV! There is an antenna mounted on the living room wall that allows receiving of 2 channels (CBS and NBC) plus two 24 hr news stations and one Spanish speaking station. This would be tolerable if you were staying a few days but for 2 months? We missed the Super Bowl, start of NASCAR, lots of other sports including the Golf Channel. This was really hard to deal with. In the winter the evenings are long and we looked forward to kicking back, relaxing and watching TV after being out doing "touristy" stuff all day.
The house was sparsely furnished: no dressers in the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms, lighting was at a minimum. Julia brought us an extra lamp for the living room which helped but the bedrooms had tiny little lamps and there is no overhead lighting in the bedrooms or living room. We had to purchase several things to get by such as more towels, wash cloths, can opener, corkscrew, spatula, pitcher and other kitchen necessities. The pots and pans were peeling and there was not a large skillet. A crockpot, blender and mixer would have been nice. We wanted to do a lot more evening cooking but it was difficult.
The house is in a neighborhood that isn't fully developed so there are many overgrown lots on the street. One is next door and several in the back so you certainly don't get a resort sort of feeling.
All in all it was OK, we had a good time and will rent again next year but not this property.
